This is an excellent read, and I have a belated nitpick:

MaH should actually be written correctly as mAh.

Amperes (current) is denoted by a capital "A", and lower-case "m" denotes "milli" in the metric system ( x 0.001) - as opposed to capital "M" which denotes "Mega" (x 1 000 000).

Not sure about the story behind "h" for hour (as opposed to "H") but if nothing else it's standard practice to use the 'h' at least in this context.

EDIT: H is indeed used for 'Henries'. That's probably it.
