Li-ion battery report - 1000 batteries analyzed
Interesting stuff.
And this isn't just for small flashlights that use this particular size battery. Many other Li-Ion batteries are actually made of bundled 18650s.
DEFINITELY DON'T BUY cheap Li-ion batteries! They have horrible QA/QC and are much more poorly/inconsistently made than the name brands, and many/most/all of them DO NOT HAVE SAFETY features that the name brands have.
the report is here.

Adam Savage talks to the people that made the report
Milwaukee M12 batteries are bundled 18650 batteries, and they aren't the only ones.
