More mah isn't always better. THere is info on this on AtomicMods' website in the FAQ.....

This is becuase a higher mah (~1000mah) may have a lower "C" rating. This will cuase them to hear up, and not last as long...

The "C" rating is the number of times the mah the cell can provide.

A 2C 800mah battery can continueously supply 1600mah for 30 minutes.
A 2C 800mah battery can continueously supply 800mah for 60 minutes.

A 2C 1000mah battery can continueously supply 1000mah for 60 minutes.
A 2C 1000mah battery can continueously supply 2000mah for 30 minutes.

And so on...... I'll post another thread (need permission first) about the "C" rating, but infro can also be found in the link below:
