Yes, but maHr (milliamp hours) should be the measure of that.  More milliamp 
hours should mean that it can supply more current for longer.

(I should mention that the cells I have been testing are at, near, or beyond 
the end of their useful life -- for example, when new, the AAA cells I 
mentioned were rated at 1200 maHrs. -- the AA cells even more (2500 maHrs. for 
the one in question).  I am testing to see if any can be rejuvenated and which 
should be saved and which thrown away (well, recycled).)
