-
- The batteries still will differ in mAh, how much will depend on quality control
- and manufacturing. This is why NiCad battery packs (with cells in series)
- should not be fully discharged. (ie. fully discharging one cell means reverse
- charging another)
-
- I find it odd that changing the order of batteries in series can affect the
- energy output.
