In another thread, there was discussion regarding rechargable batteries especially the mAh ratings.
I purchased the Radio Shack precharged 2000mAh NiMH batteries when I purchased my scanner a few months ago. NO problem or complaints as everything has been just fine.
I was looking and I found on the Radio Shack web site an 8 Pack of AA 2700mAh batteries which are "Web Only" available and NOT Radio Shack branded but are Lexmar branded.

However, I decided to to a quick look into NiMH AA batteries and found some interesing things.
There are TWO things I found regarding them.
1. There are the standard NiMH ones.
2. There are Low discharge types Usually precharged ones usually 2100mAh or lower.
I found a good source of information here...

However, their major information and review is in 2006. Their "Editor's Choice" is the MAHA Powerex 2700mAh AA battery according to their testing.

Looking at their testing spreadsheet they tested a lot of different branded batteries and ratings and there results are widely varied between the batteries.
Interesting reading on the rechargeable-battery-review web site but I only wish it were a little more up to date.
