Above 1mA chemical breakdown necessary to supply current is greater than the chemical regeneration needed to maintain the 1Ah rating and below 1mA unpreventable chemical degradation becomes an increasing factor (leading to the point on a discharge curve at which there is no current drawn but the battery still goes flat ie the shelf life) -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
