Off topic, but only a little since it's about hardware

mAh is a measure of the capacity to deliver that voltage.

You know a battery doesn't last forever. If you suck a lot of current 
out of it, it will empty sooner. If you suck only a little current, it 
will last longer.

mAh is "milli Amp Hours", so a 1500 mAh cell can deliver 1500 mA for one 
hour, or 150 mA for 10 hours, etc.

In reality it is not a perfectly linear relationship, but it is a useful 
number for reference and comparison.

HTH,
