Wow Bryan,
Great explanation.
I suppose then the technology is not available for rechargeable batteries to run at 1.5V with their rated mAh until near dead. That's a bummer.
I've been caught recently having two sets of fully charged NiMH AAs (which are about a year old but have definitely been charged for less than 1000 times) and only been able to draw a total of 10 flashes between them at 1/2 power.
