[Elecraft] AA primary cell (K1 related) capacity

[Rod N0RC]

Steve,

ANS: ~2.5 mAh (for Energizer A91 AA)

Source: http://data.energizer.com/ follow the data sheet link.

Cells from other manufactures are similar. The actual realized
capacity is a function of discharge profile, (continuous vs
intermittent use for example). The major battery manufactures have a
wealth of detailed technical data on the websites. Follow
technical/engineering/OEM links.
