I recently got myself a new battery charger and needed to use it to test a couple of unknown batteries - so whilst I was at it, I also tested some other batteries that I had for a while - including a LiFe battery from an older garden light set.
The results were interesting...

You can find the results here:

Interesting........
Would you consider doing any tests on any specialised batteries such as laptop batteries?
Yes, did you note the pitiful capacity that the LiFe (Lithium Iron Phosphate/LiFePO4) battery came out at?
If you, or anyone else, wanted me to do some tests on laptop batteries, then yes I could do that - so long as I knew the configuration of the cells inside the laptop battery, and would be able to hook my probes up to the various different points in the battery (as there will almost certainly be multiple cells in series, with some laptops having multiple cells in parallel as well).
I can do Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-Po (1-6S), Li-Ion (1-6S), Li-Fe (Li-FePO4, 1-6S) and Pb (lead acid, 2-20V).
