If only they would write on the box what these terms mean!!  Anyway it is
not a stupid question.
mAH just means 'milliamps for an hour.'    So if a battery was rated at 10
mAh you could draw 10 mA for an hour before the terminal voltage dropped
below a usable level. The same battery will supply 1 mA for 10 hours or 0.5
mAmps for 20 hours. Does that help?
John.
