Question about Coast Zithion-X USB-C
I have these batteries and also those from Pale Blue. But the Coast ones soon lose voltage during use, even if only 30 mA are flowing, unlike the Pale Blue ones, whose voltage remains constant at 1.5V, practically until they are empty and although they have less capacity than the Coast ones. I am therefore disappointed with the Coast batteries. What experiences have you had?

My experience over the last six months is as follows:
In direct comparison to standard AA/AAA alkaline batteries, these last approx. 1/3 with the same use in the same devices (cat flap and remote control).
Instead of replacing alkaline batteries every 3 to 4 months, I now change the rechargeable batteries every 1...1.5 months.
The end announces itself very spontaneously, from one day to the next, the voltage regulation of the rechargeable batteries is no longer able to supply the output voltage and stops working.
Conclusion: these batteries can be used with devices where the battery change is easy to manage and spontaneous failure is not an issue. Otherwise they are rather cumbersome.
The advantage is that they are quick and easy to recharge.

As far as I know, the voltage loss here is intentional, so that they behave similarly to an alkaline battery (for the battery indicator). Whether this is good or bad depends on the area of application.
