mAH from AA cell

Hi guys. We have an application running on a basic Stamp 1, and
tranmitting on a Linx transmitter. The transmitter is powered up
only when it is used so our power consumption is very low.
What we are trying to estimate is our battery lifetime. It is
running on 4 AA cells. I have been trying to find out the average
capacity of a standard, off the shelf AA battery. Obviously we will
be testing this first, but we would like to get an idea if we will
be close to the mark we are shooting for.
I know that different brands will be different, but there must be
some sort of guideline.
Thanks
Jody

Go to the Internet and search for Energizer. I think they have a table
showing the maH capacity of all the standard batteries.

consider over what temperature range you will be operating your unit. As
temperature decreases so also does the available power.

Most alkaline batteries are good for about 1500 mAH
