That is correct (silly mistake!). I was trying to give David figures in rolls, so doing that after your correction would give the following worst/best amount of rolls: 18/86! > Also, don't forget that Lithiums should give full voltage > until nearly the end, whereas alkalines will fade off with > use, so their final capacity will not be fully accessible. Also true, in my original range of 1,2-1,5V and 700-3250mAh, there's NiCd, Alkaline and NiMH cells making a direct comparison to Li impossible indeed. My preference would go out to the NiMH cells. They are affordable and widely available, have high capacity (typically 2300mAh), can be charged quickly and don't show the "memory effect" that NiCd's have...
