Does anyone know if it's ok to use different mAh rated batteries in one battery pack?

I have plenty of rechargeable batteries but they are all different ratings. I'm guessing they will be fine but it will only last as long as the weakest batteries right?
 
it'll be fine untill the lowest batteries run out of charge. then they'll experience "reverse charging" which will kill those batteries completely. there's a good chance that they'll also leak.

please don't do this!

i'm assuming you want AA Cells?
buy the 2900mAh ones from here:

they're what i use for my camera's flashgun, they're excellent.
 
I use some hybrios for my flash, last ages and keep their charge amazingly well

I don't mix or match any sets either but thats just becuase I prefer to keep each brand in sets
