[ICOM] Battery Performance?

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

Does anyone know if the below mentioned MAHA 2300 mah Ni-MH batteries have 
more capacity than the typical premium alkaline?

I know it is best to put alkalines in my ICOM walkie when I'm just keeping 
it ready for emergencies, because I've heard Ni-MH loose the charge even 
quicker than Ni-Cad batteries.

Anyone have a quick chart on the subject, or know where this info is on the 
internet?
Or wise wisdom on the subject?  Which ones can be made to float on an ICOM 
charger without worry, etc.?
