Oh, I believe you (and the data sheet). I'm sure it's true for _some_ load. Duracell's datasheet has lots more data than the last Energizer datasheet I looked at, but neither of them tell you the current draw for that Ah rating. Duracell's got some interesting curves with larger (e.g. 275mA) loads that may give a clue to high current performance. > I'll have to check local stores for availability. Check your local discount store's photo department. About $17 per 8 pack is the best price I've found. > Just need to find an 8-cell flat-pack battery holder. I wired two 4xAA holders side by side, but it's not an enclosure - just something meant to ride inside a balloon payload. -Jason kg4wsv
