Default RE: NiZn battery question

Mike,
It says 1.6v 2500mwhzinc above the pic of the batts?? V..

I got this info off the web:

>While the NiZn batteries have potential, they won't rival Eneloops and conventional NiMHs for some time. Consider: the current milli-Amp-hour capacity for Quantaray Super Z batteries is 1500mAh. Top of the line NiMH AAs are 2850mAh. The NiZn batteries have a self-discharge rate of near 1% per day...about that of conventional NiMHs, so no challenge there to the LSD batteries like Eneloops. The tech behind the new batteries is interesting, though. We'll see what they can do in a year or two.<
