Default Battery Capacity

fraction of their rated capacity in real life apps. Some questions are
better left unasked.

Often I would suspect because some devices cease working before the
terminal voltage used in the capacity calculations is reached.


I have recently had a set of Energiser Lithium AA cells in a camera.
They lasted *far* longer than 'ordinary' alkalines which I usually use.
Maybe they are sufficiently good to be worth paying their hefty premium?
But I do wonder how much is simply loss of voltage rather than actual
energy content.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
