mAh power consumption

Hi,
need a little help with some math, If I have an impossibly perfect
battery that provides a constant voltage right up untill it dies and
the battery for example is 3500mAh, how long would the battery power
say a 20mA led ?
Would it be, 3500 / 20 = 175 hours ?

Yes

Sorry if the post seems a bit to simple... Just need to be sure about
it.
Thanks for your help.

You're welcome.
if you have a perfect device which can supply 3500mAH and a perfect
load which draws a constant 20mA, then:
3500 milliamperes * hours
Time = --------------------------
20 milliamperes
The milliamperes will cancel out, and you'll be left with:
3500 * hours
Time = -------------- = 150 hours
20
