The label says "1300 mAh". ;-) Caveat emptor.

About 10 years ago, when the major battery manufacturers (Panasonic, Sanyo, ...) offered their last NiCd generation before they switched to NiMH, AA sized NiCds were available in 1000 mAh or slightly above (e.g. Panasonic P100AAS).

If the capacity, determined for the same load, actually is/was 1300 mAh: yes. Provided they are fully charged. If you use the Spice charger and charge these batteries internally, the relative charging current is very low and so a full charge will require substantial time. BTW does anyone know the charging current?
