I purchased some torches with 14500s claimed to be 2400mAh which I
didn't believe. I doubt that they were even close to 850/900mAh as fully
charged they didn't last long in the torch. Replacement 900mAh batteries
lasted much longer.

I have some GTL batteries (also called GIF) (Chinese ****) that say
2500.* I tested them (bulb, ammeter) and got 500.* Official tests I've
found on websites agree.* Got them free, I moaned at the seller and got
all the money back.

Decent makes like Efest, Sony, Sanyo are all quoted as 850 and reviews
say you really get that.* But 850 is pitiful, as NiMH gives 2700.

About the same energy, given that the lithium cells are about three
times the voltage of the NiMH.
