Have people noticed that the newer higher capacity AA NiMH are
actually 1.25v versus the 1.2v that you speak of? I was over my
father-in-laws place and since he is a professional photographer he
uses often AA cells when using his flash. I spied two small AA
Chargers at his apartment this weekend and whiel discussing them he
pulled out a pair of 2500mAh and 2700mAh AA NiMH cells but both of
these examples were not 1.2v theywere 1.25v which caught my
attention...
