batteries' maximum current

How fast can I discharge a battery without damaging it or overheating it?
What maximum current can I draw from it?
I suppose it depends on the model, but 
any info would be appreciated, whether it's alkaline or rechargable ....
Are there batteries that I can fully discharge in 10 minutes?

Sorry im afriad i dont really have a tested answer for this however you can try connecting negitive to positive with a large resistor in the circuit. What i really would like to know is why you want to know this?
Thanks

Just wondering whether there could be an electic means of transport that could have just enough autonomy to take me to the tube.
To answer my question, I found a battery for RC models that is meant to discharge in 5 minutes.
Still no idea about standard batteries such as NiMH AA .
