How much current does the old EL 3>D\'s suck out?

I am using a set for my DD 5 watter....

with alkalines I can get 730 mAh droping to 700 and 680 of draw fairly quickly.

with NiMh I can get 750-800 for about 20 min so far

the 3 123'S will drive it past 1.8-1.4 amps

how much freaking resistance do thet have? the packs feel very warm around the - and + areas so I think that where a lot of the resitance is coming from.

what kind of draw can the DD get off the NIMH with good packs?

For those who don't have a lot of time to go through 4 pages of posts, can that thread be summed up here for SKYWLKR?

Thanks.
