here is a link i found out for battery basics (rechargeable). it gives basics bout capacity discharge rate given for LiPo but can be used for other rechargeable batterieshttp://www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-lipo-batteries.html
For example a RC LiPo battery that is rated at 1000 mAh would be completely discharged in one hour with a 1000 milliamp load placed on it. If this same battery had a 500 milliamp load placed on it, it would take 2 hours to drain down. If the load was increased to around 15,000 milliamps (15 amps) a very common current drain in a 400 sized RC helicopter while hovering, the time to drain the battery would be only about 4 minutes.
