Not that it makes any difference because everyone runs off a 12 V Gel
cell battery or regulated power supply anyway... BUT is it really true
that a rechargable AA does not puty out a full 1.5 V when freshly
charged...

yeah. because it's different chemistry. The voltage between any two
substances depends on the two substances, basically the difference
between each of them's attraction for electrons. carbon and zinc, you
get 1.5 volts. nickel and cadmium, 1.25. etc.
