The AA NiMH cells are 1300 maH capacity. Check out Thomas Distributing:
http://www.nimhbattery.com/ for good data, prices, and the MAHA charger
which will charge 1-10 cells using wall power, cigar lighter power,
12-18v photovoltaic power. It senses
cell temp in rapid charge mode and keeps you from frying batteries.
