My Pilas have different capacities--is this ok?

Upon taking two 168A Pilas out of the charger tonight, I noticed that one is 1800mAH and the other is 2000mAH. Is there any problem with using these at the same time in series in a single flashlight? :thinking:

I have been using them for months in this application. Just wanted to make sure it is safe.

Thanks for any advice.

You'll be fine. If either cell does get close to completely discharged, it's protection circuit will kick in and your light will turn off... :)
