In hindsight I never, ever used them on a partially spent battery (because who takes out batteries to check their charge remaining?) so I have no idea how well they worked anywhere between 0% and 100%.
I tested partially spent batteries all the time, because my childhood home was full of imps who would take one or two batteries out of a remote to power their DS or other handhelds, then replace them after gametime was over.
