 The  Hitachi 18V Battery Li-ion Slide On Capacity  – is measured in either Ah or mAh. The higher the capacity rating, the longer your battery can last between charges (this is runtime).  Battery capacity quantifies the total amount of energy stored within a battery. Generally, BatteryShip.com batteries have a mAh rating 30-100% higher than the batteries that are originally installed by the manufacturer of your device. Another way to consider a battery's capacity is by runtime (how long a battery will power a device before the battery is recharged). The higher the capacity the longer the runtime. The longer the runtime the longer you will be able to use your device without recharging the battery. More capacity equals more runtime. More runtime equals better value!
