Title: Anyone use 6600mAh DVD battery?

mAh is essentially the capacity, correct?

I wonder if ~70 dollars is worth it for the extry capacity, compared to the standard 5400mAh batts. I can't find any of the 9V 5400mAh on ebay for less than $50.

Don't know about the new ones, but if you are patient you should be able to get a 5400 one for something like $25 + $5 or 10 shipping.

FWIW, I bought my two Lenmar batteries advertised as 6600 mAH.  They arrived, and...turned out they're 5400 mAH batteries.  Caveat Emptor.  I suspect anyone selling 6600 mAH has mislabelled their product description as I've not seen these batts as truly 6600 mAH anywhere else.
