As I understand it, the mAh ratings reflect the amount of time the battery
will remain up to voltage. The current draw from the camera will give you X
rolls of film with a 1500 mAh battery, less with one with smaller mAh and
more with a higher mAh... miliAmp hours... the circuitry of the camera
should not be affected adversely by this variation.
The important issue is the voltage. If the voltage is off, the meter will be
affected, and the motor drive will be slower... too much voltage can destroy
the circuitry.
As you don't mention the voltages, I cant help with that...
At least that is my understanding...

I'm seriously considering buying NiMh AA's for my F5, but am very
confused due to the hoard of contradicting opinions and anecdotes out
there. I'd appreciate it if someone on the list could kindly provide
me with the facts on this one.
As I understand it, Nikon's own MN-30 rechargeable NiMh pack gives an
output of 1150mAh (can't remember the voltage). However the the
rechargeable NiMh AA's available in the stores come in popular
'flavours' of 1200mAh, 1300mAh, 1500mAh and now the latest, 2000mAh.
Can anyone tell me whether there is any risk of potential damage to the
F5 using these NiMh AA's due to the higher current? (I plan to buy the
1500mAh version)
If anyone on this list has a background in electrical engineering and
could provide a scientific explanation, so much the better.
Thanks in advance.
