Not to pick nits here, but 1500mAh is not a measure of battery
energy capacity unless the voltage is known. It's similar to saying "My
car gets 35 miles per." If the "gallon" are understood (e.g. AA NiMH
chemistry), it's a good way of comparing similar products. If it happens
to be "liter, quart, cup, barrel, etc", (e.g. multiple Lithium cells
stacked together), its useless in comparing capacities.
