Ansmann MaxE 9V 280mAh NiMH

Neither AI can assist in order it, to deliver the answer in the question, of when this product become first available? 

Back in time Ansmann did a major mistake at MaxE 9V 300mAh NiMH, this cell its much larger in dimensions than the standard 9V Block.
I still have one my self, its an old granny now, internal resistance at several ohms, interesting enough it has fallen at half capacity but its still usable.
MaxE 9V 300mAh its bulky, for use in a LCR or multimeter, its a pain to install, and a greater pain to remove it for charging.

About MaxE 9V 280mAh, Ansmann this is totally silent. 
No fresh datasheet available.
No press release.
They have not even advertise the product packaging, so us to have something to see. 


The answer of why MaxE 9V 280mAh NiMH, this shown in the market, this found in the USA by my self.
The most popular professional wireless microphone of the American SHURE, this could not use the bulky MaxE 300mAh.
Ansmann smashed their face in the American market, and approximately at October 2019 they presented the thinner version of MaxE 280mAh.

I am not implying that this product is bad, I am seriously thinking buy eight of them for my workshop.     
But ...
MaxE 9V 280mAh this is a plain text description, actual product appearance, this does not have MaxE logo.
The claim of Low Self Discharge, this cannot be verified by any documentation.     

Ansmann management in Germany, this does not enjoy nowadays much of love from within European union distributors.
Ansmann open up to America by them using a lower pricing policy.
Ansmann did use Amazon, as a tool for direct sales within in EU.
They are acting as True Chinese business men with a broken compass, and with out plan.

From the other hand, we have genuine Chinese business men, they have invade in the German market, with the offering of retail priced with VAT ... 3.5 Euro for 9V 250mAh regular NiMH.
And the German consumers they do not touch them and they do very well.

And we have also an a third wave in Germany, of several tiny Chinese brand, these using a European front man.
They try to gain sales by endless price war, while the products they lucking certifications and documentation.
Again the German consumers they do not touch such products and they do very well.

Newest backdoor for importation of low end Chinese batteries, this is Poland
These are the worst distributors,  they pretend be manufacturers, they do in house manufacturing of datasheets, their cooked documents these lucking critical information's for electronics and electricians engineers.
And therefore such cooked datasheets they cannot fool any one. 

About me, I am still undecided about my final purchase,  one thing I can sign it, I will not give my money that easy to anyone.
