NiMH cells and Lithium cells have very similar discharge curves, i.e. a near linear voltage to capacity remaining figure once the initial peak has been discharged and before the rapid reduction at near depletion. You can predict the remaining capacity for either cell type (and for NiCd) under load.

However, it must be noted that the voltage is also dependant on the load applied so must be deduced for that cell and load combination.
