I don't believe it.  Radio Shack's 1989 catalog claims
a capacity of 0.45 Amp hours for the same AA NiCds (#23-125) !!!
The purple #23-125 NiCds they sell today appear identical to the
purple #23-125 NiCds I bought from them several years ago.

They both have the same charging information: 45 ma for
14 - 16 hours.  I'd expect to have to charge a real 650 mAH
NiCd at 65 ma for the same period.
