The load = the A part

[pointer2null]

Yes in a way (strictly speaking the load is A x V (V X A = P when P is power in Watts))

You haven't seen my phone lol


mAh - does apply to all batteries; it's a measure of capacity. Although with a Duracell it varies with load

If a battery doesn't specify mah due to its chemistry then as far as I'm concerned it's incomparable.  Therefore whilst you're correct, and I am incorrect, you cannot compare a rechargeable with an alkaline as each has its benefits and disadvantages.

Yes, I've decended in to talking rubbish but whilst I know what I mean I can't be bothered to explain any more.

As an aside I'd always go for a camera with a proprietary li-ion battery over one that took aa's.

The aa form factor is not convenient compared to a rectangular pack.

Only one of my digi cameras takes aa's and its the cheapest one that I use underwater.  My Panasonic dmc t27, my eos and my ixus all use proprietary li-ion batteries.

Ye Gods, I'm only a happy snapper! Think I'll stick to what I know... :lol

Yes in a way (strictly speaking the load is A x V (V X A = P when P is power in Watts))

Anyway, I thought load was the resistance applied across a circuit, V=IR, power is equivalent to the energy spent overcoming the resistance - but it's years since I did anything in electronics and I was never the most avid student!

P=VI where p is the power in watts, V is the voltage and I is the current in amps
