That makes no sense _unless_ you include the length of time involved.
For example, a "circuit capacity" of 10 mAh could be a circiut drawing
10 mA for 1 hour  or  50 mA for 12 minutes  or  5 mA for 2 hours.

I think listing the circuit current drain is more usefull.  Then
the reader can determine the power budget needed to run the circuit
for a day or a week or a year.
