Hi,

This datasheet shows that a 3V, 100mA Vanadium Rechargeable Lithium battery, VL3032, has a constant drain current of 200uA. That is what it means, isn't it, no more than 200uA continuously?

So ~2 to 3mA for let's say 12 hours "on time" whilst being recharged, then maybe 1.5mA during "off time" is not an option for that battery?

I'd expected a couple to a few mA at least for constant discharging into a load, especially comparing to a couple of different make Ni-MH 3.6V ~160mA, one can be discharged at about 32mA continuously. Why the difference, the paralleling of 1.2V cells in the Ni-MH ones?

Thanks.

That is absolutely not what it means. The data sheet simply shows what the discharge characteristic is at 200uA. It also shows what the discharge time vs load is. If you actually look at that graph you'll see that it shows the higher the load, the shorter the discharge time.
