Oh, sorry, I should have explained better. I meant that the capacity alone would not mean whether you could use the batteries or not. I guess a good way to think of it is the voltage is the "valve" and the rating (1200,1600, etc) is the amount of electricity that can go through the "valve" before they need recharged......hmm.... maybe that's not technically correct, but it's as close as I can get. :-) Yes, you are correct that the higher capacity ones will last longer, and considering the price difference, well worth the little extra money. Don, the not quite electronically gifted. <g> -- if everything is going right....you've missed something. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
