Re: NEW Multimode Freelight Shipping
Check out the full battery specs at
Panasonics Web Site. For those that are not satisfied by the detail there, there are also a number of PDF's that can be downloaded from the same location.
Does anybody know which of the listed batteries on this page is used? There is a huge difference in the Nominal Capacity (mAh) quoted for the different types: varying from 1.5 to 100 mAh. Just bear in mind a AAA battery would have more than 10 times the capacity of the biggest battery here!
