mAH stands for milliamp-hours. It is a measure of the power capacity of a battery. If a battery has a mAH rating of, say, 480mAH, it means the battery can supply 480 milliamps for one hour, or 960 milliamps for a half-hour, or 240 milliamps for two hours, etc.

What is the electrical abbreviation mAh?
milliamphere Hour or one-thousandth of an ampere-hour
What is difference between mAh and volt?
A milliamp-hour (mAh) is a measure of quality of a battery. It tells you how many hours the batter can provide one milliamp of current before it will die. A volt is the unit of electric potential. AA, AAA, C, and D batteries are all 1.5 Volts. A 9 Volt is 9 Volts. Car batteries are 12 Volts. AA's are typically rated in thousands of mAh. Cs and Ds are more, AAA and 9 Volts are typically less. If you know the power that a device consumes [i.e. Remote, wireless game controller], you can calculate how long your batters will last in the following manner. Time = [mAh / 1000] * [# of batteries * battery voltage] / device power Ex: Device is rated at 1W using 4 AA [1.5 Volt] batteries rated at 1000mAh. Time = [ 1000mAh / 1000 ] * [4 * 1.5 Volts] / 1 W = 6 Hours
How long can a 1.5 volt 30 mAh button battery last. Go to the Discussion?
This is the Amp-hour rating (in your case, 30mAh). This battery will provide 1.5 volts at 30 milliamps (.0030 A) for one hour. Or 300 mA for 1/10th of an hour (6 minutes), or 3000mA (3 Amps) for 1/100th of an hour, etc.
What happens when you connect batteries of different capacities i.e Ah in parallel or in series in a circuit?
Capacity in Ah is not directly related to voltage. If you have 3 AA batteries, each with different mAh ratings, you should be able to connect them in parallel or series to your hearts content. In series, the voltage will be additive: 3*(1.5volts) = 4.5 volts total voltage across all three batteries in series, assuming the battery voltage is 1.5 volts. In parallel, the voltage will be equivalent to 1 battery. In parallel, the three batteries are able to provide 3 times more current at 1.5 volts than if all three are in series at 4.5 volts. Be careful when parallelling batteries of different voltages though. This is not a good idea, as they will try to force each other to match terminal voltage (voltage at the outputs of the batteries). An example: 1.5 volt AA battery, and a 12 volt car battery can be put in series - the total voltage will be 13.5 volts. The total current that can be sourced will be limitted by the AA's limit (much less than the car battery's limit). If put in parallel, the AA will try to force the voltage of the car battery down to 1.5 volts by drawing current into itself from the car battery. Alternately, the car battery will try to force the AA to 12 volts by pushing current into the AA battery. The AA battery will overheat, and likely catastrophically fail (blow up).
