Strictly, the capacity in (milli)ampere-hours is a measure of the charge
they hold and thus how long they will operate, not how much peak current
they can deliver.  But it's correct that these things do go pretty much
hand-in-hand.  Hope you don't experience any melting moments...

I think some manufacturers make them that way. Costco had a set of NiMH
from
Panasonic that were AA but included sleeve adapters to size them up to C or
D size. Of course the electrical capacity stayed AA.

But you can buy true C or D size NiMH, and I think the C size run about
3000
mAh and the D size about 4200 mAh, much more charge than AA which are now
up
to 2100 mAh or so... its enough current capability that concern about
blowing capacitors or melting circuits might not be misplaced.
