BST is a large and reputable Chinese battery maker who, in my experience , is able to provide NimH batteries that meet spec and behave in expected manners. This is by no means certain from many other suppliers :-). .. http://www.bstintl.com.cn/Product_main.aspx This page lists LiFePO4 and LiIon cells AFAICS. Top two tables are liFePO4. http://www.bstintl.com.cn/overview12.aspx I don't know the quality of their Lithium cells BUT expect them to be good based on their size, reputation and nimH products. Bottom two have what they call power and energy LiIon variants. Note that the Power units offer 18650 cell with up to 14A continuous discharge but only 1400 mAh capacity. Energy units are 1.5A max from 18650 but up to 2200 mAh capacity. Note that they do NOT offer 18650 with 2500 / 2700 / 3000 mAh like some other brands do. Note that an 18500 is a short 18650 - NOT an AA which is 14500. ie 18500 =3D AA length and 18650 diameter.
