mAh - A rating used in the consumption of power of an electronic device such as an LCD or the storage capability of a device like an NiMH or Nicad rechargeable battery (i.e. 1600mAh cell). It stands for milliAmperehour.

It's the capacity of the battery. Your camera draws so many milliamps of current and the battery will supply that amount for so many hours. The bigger the number, the longer it will run.
