Default General guideline for weights for NIMH batteries

Does anyone know of a table for weights of different size 6.0V NIMH batteries?
I have a 2200 mah/6.0V NIMH and it's pretty heavy.
I'd like to know general weights of lower Mah batteries.
No, I do not have a postal scale.
thanks

www.cheapbatterypacks.com look at their loose cells and the weight of them and multiply by the number of cells you need.

Is this a different battery than the 1200mah in your other thread?
If you are worried about number of flights why not use the 2200 mah battery?
I have several 2000+mah receiver batteries 6V and 4.8V. I can't tell alot of difference between anything from 600mah NiCad and 2200mah NiMh as far as my calibrated hands can tell.

Thanks Missleman,
Just wondering if there were significant weight differences. Apparantley not once I've looked into it. The difference between a 2200/6vnimh and a 1200 v is only a couple of grams. This is from the batteries I ordered at cheapbatteries.com.
