NiMH "N" cells?

[Velcro]

Do NiMH "N" cell batteries exist? If so, what is their highest Mah rating and where can you see them on the Net?

Yes they do, and IIRC, around 300mAh or something like that. They were like $2 for 2 at radioshack last I checked, but don't remember. The capacity might be lower, I cannot remember.

Velcro-those Rad.Shack 360 mAh cells should be avail. on their website. Try cat.#23-521

Just added: Nope!-but I sent them an inquiry about it.
Maybe one of us in the U.S. could help get 'ya those...

Well, I am using NiMH N size batteries, aka 2/3 AAA batteries. I found them at a clearance bin at Walmart. It was a cordless telephone pack (Northwestern Bell Phone Model 32880) with 3 of these dudes in a square for $1, normally $10. The capacity is 270 mAH and I use three of them in a 2AAA penlight to drive 3 Nichia 8000 mcd 5 mm white leds. Best penlight in the whole hospital, by far

Now all I need is a dedicated battery charger as charging them ties up my precision power supply charging at 4.2000 volts

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Nice buy there, but 2/3 AAA are definitely not "N" cells. I use both kinds. That 2/3 AAA (noticeably skinnier than the "N" cell, but about the same length), is a super handy size.

Thanks for the tip on where to bag those versatile little squirts!
Capacities:
2/3-AAA (NimH)=270mAh
"N" cell (NimH)=360mAh
