I am not quite familiar with boost converters. So, I have some questions;
Looking for this IC;

It claims up to 96% efficiency.
Now, assume I have a 1.5 Volts alkaline 3000mAh battery. If I use this battery with a boost converter to get steady 3.3 volts output, I will for sure not be getting 3000mAh spec anymore. How can I calculate the new capacity with 3.3 volts output ?
