i remember when consumer reports tested rechargable batteries, like in
the 70s, a zillion years before they got popular. except for Radio
Shack rechargables, there wasn't any more capacity in the C or D sizes
than the AA size; which was understandable when they autopsied them
and found that the bigger ones were just AA batteries padded out to
larger size. Except for Radio Shack rechargable batteries, oddly
enough.
