Hi, Sorry not to answer your question, but just to share my experience. I'm using 4 x AA NiMh of 1600mA. They are supposed to be used in digicams, but I find them perfect for my hungry 550EX. Recycling times are not better than with NiCd or the (now "old") 1100 mA I used before, but the 1600mA batteries last much looooonger. They are just great! (And I've 3 pairs now, and I'm still finding a way to organize myself to know what is charged and what is not... ;-) Can you know that with a multimeter? How?
