Current is measured in Amps. Rechargable AAA batteries put out 850 mAh, or 0.85 Amp-Hours, meaning that it will run 1.2v (Rechargable AAA Voltage) at .85 amps for 1 hour. But to really get a feel for how much power it holds, you need to use watt hours, which are amps times volts. 1.2v X .85 = 1.02 watt hours, or just enough to run a lightbulb for 90 seconds.

An AA battery has 4.0 mA.

Battery capacity is measured in mAh (milliamp hours), that's how much electricity can be delivered for how long (depending on consumption). The best AA NIMH (nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable batteries rate at around 2100 mAh - at 1.2volts. And regular (off the shelf) alkalines anywhere from 1500 - 3000 mAh at 1.5 to 1.7 volts. There are some industrial/military batteries that have a 'little bit' better performance and are sealed better - so that they wont leak as easily when dead and can take rough treatment.

While the battery's capacity (the mAh figure discussed above) affects the maximum current which can be drawn from a battery, other factors play an important role in limiting the current. A perfect battery could delivery an almost infinite amount of current if the duration of that demand is sufficiently short.

In a thought experiment, it is perfectly possible to burn through a fairly thick wire by shortening one of these batteries. (Do not try this at home. The battery might explode of catch fire, and the wire can spark, will get very hot, and metal might evaporate which could severely harm you.)

However, no battery is perfect. The chemical and physical assembly inside the battery dictates how quickly the stored energy can be made available as an electric current, and other aspects define an "internal resistor" which limits the maximum current. Therefore, two or more batteries of the same nominal capacity but different design will deliver a different peak current.

I have rechargeable with 2800ma capacity so they are close to alkaline.

How many bb's can you shoot per charge on a 9.6 volt 1100 mah airsoft battery?

Here is a quick tip, mAH stands for Milliamps. however many milliamps a battery is rated, that's about how many shots you should be able to get off on a full charge.


What does mah do?

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.
