Agree. However there’s a lot of fraud and mislabelling of Li-Ion products so that’s only true if the cells inside the pack are actually capable of providing what the nameplate states. I’ve bought 18650 cells that were labelled as 2400mAH capacity that in fact are only 250 mAH. The damn chinese cheats put a tiny li=po battery in the housing and fill it with sand so it weighs the correct amount. Bastards.

Wow. That is why a lot of customer ratings can be helpful, although there is too often a bunch of "sand" in those also.

But the product with best price per Ah rating has no rating.

The specs say 3000 microamps but also 10 A batteries required. (included) If that means there are 10 1.5 LR23 alkaline batteries inside then it would only provide 15 volt.
