I don't think that's the version referred to. RS has a line of high capacity
NiCads (from memory of the 1993 catalog):

Size:     Amp Hours
-----     ---------
D         4.3
C         2.0
AA        1.6 (I think) 

note the D and C sizes have different capacities.

These are Gold with Blue writing not the normal purple ones.

I'm planning on using a battery pack with the D size batteries for a computer
I'm building.
