But there's only so much current a particular chemistry can handle putting
out before it dies a premature death. A perfect example of this was Makita
power tools which were released with NiMH batteries. Their battery packs
died within 3 months of usage and so they were recalled and replaced with
NiCd's like they used to use without any ill effect thereafter.
Proof in the pudding is in the tasting.

Subject: Re: MD: Re: Additional Battery
I worked at an electronics dealer in technical sales support for a number
of years, and this sort of question came up a number of times. However,
regardless of the amount of current a power source can supply, the
equipment in use will draw what it needs. If a power supply can provide 3.5
amps, but the equipment only draws 500 mA, then that's what it will get.
The only time I can think of that something else would happen would require
a malfunction/short circuit within the equipment itself, but that is still
not a battery or power supply problem.
