Yeah, but I didn't have that parameter. That's why I measured the cell dimensions so I could approximate density from volume since that is a major factor. I guess I'd have to weight them as well. Also, I kinda took this into account by paralleling two AA's to replace one sub-C. Two batts will have to work half as hard as one (half the current).

nbcaz: Of course they'll overheat if I use one AA per one sub-C. However, there is a higher surface area to volume ratio in two AA's than one sub-C, so cooling will be improved.

It comes down to how the cell is built internally, which I'm not about to destroy cells to find out. :)
