"From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Urban legend....AA's are AA's, they are all 1.5v and that is all your camera, or anything else using that battery, cares about. Power usage is determined by the device, not by the battery as it will deliver only what the device requires..no more. Where batteries differ is in amp hours which is a measure of how long they will deliver their voltage.
Jerry in Houston" This is not entirely true. Circuits that "charge up" may have a very low initial impedance, so the rate they charge is determined by the current sourcing capability of the battery. Batteries which can deliver more current, charge faster, and possibly overheat components. If one were to measure the battery voltage, under a heavy load (10 ohm resistor), a Nicad, NiMH and lithium would measure higher than an alkaline. This is why flashes recycle faster with Nicads/NiMH/Lithiums than alkalines. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
