in a resistive circuit.
No - E = I/R
No. The current depends on the resistance, as well as the voltage.
I suspect that your 4.8 V batteries have a _capacity_ of 720 mA-hours or 1200 mA-hours. That is, they could theoretically deliver 720 mA (or 1200 mA) for an hour before becoming fully discharged.
Yes - but it won't run it for long.

Obviously, he meant conductance, not resistance, in that post. ;-)
Hi,
Current is directly proportional to Voltage. E=I
There for I=E, E=9V, I=9A ?
If this is so, how come you can get a 4.8 V battery in 720 mA and in
1200 mA ?Would this 4.8 battery allow you to connect to a device that required a
4.8A load?Thanks.
Proportional does not mean equal. Resistance is the constant of proportionality:
E = IR or I =E/R
Are you quoting maximum current (mA) or capacity in milliamp-hours (mAh) there?
Possibly, yes. What sort of battery is it? Can you post a link to the spec?
The capacity (= stored charge = current * time) determines how long it will last.
