Anyone have a proper explanation for this?

Tenergy are low cost batteries with performance to match.
Intellect, Sanyo, GP all have better discharge rates, are more balanced and perform better than no-name batteries.

When it comes to batteries you get what you pay for. I use nothing but Sanyo Nicad and GP NIMH. I had custom 9.6v sub-c batteries made at Total Battery in Barrie and after 2 uses (Charged and discharged properly) would not even crank my upgraded gun. I thought it was the gun itself. Put a 4 year old sanyo on it that had not been charged for over 6 months it fired like a dream. The high quality cells are better matched to reduce resistance and will out live any low end brand.
