- I don't believe it. Radio Shack's 1989 catalog claims
- a capacity of 0.45 Amp hours for the same AA NiCds (#23-125) !!!
- The purple #23-125 NiCds they sell today appear identical to the
- purple #23-125 NiCds I bought from them several years ago.
-
- They both have the same charging information: 45 ma for
- 14 - 16 hours. I'd expect to have to charge a real 650 mAH
- NiCd at 65 ma for the same period.
