PP3: 180mAH is realistic. The 200mA or higher may be not as good, or optimistic.
I have no trouble with 2650mAh Mallory rechargable cells, I have two in an automatic tin opener which stay charged for months, opening lots of tins. Four in a Roberts R9903 radio which also last for ages.

And a 200mAh PP3 Uniross in my recently repaired R200 which plays all day.
