Read the above, for starters.

There's a lot of stuff in this forum, plenty enough to educate yourself, if you only take the time to read and learn.

I've learned a lot from smarter people than I, over the past two years. Nobody's going to rewrite all of the info contained in this forum and distill it down for you, into 1000 words, or less. You have to do the reading and visit vendors' sites, seeing what they offer and learning about Li-Ion batteries, in general.

If you read posts from only the first five pages here, you should learn a lot about this stuff, so it's not like you're spending a 'semester at sea' going to class.

Spend a few hours reading and learn about it yourself.

I can throw out Callies Kustom, Redilast, AW, Xtar, Fenix, NiteCore, Keeppower, Efest, Orbtronic, International-Outdoor, EagleTac, Panasonic, LG, Samsung and Sanyo, lithium-manganese, lithium-cobalt, and lithium-polymer, for starters, but it's too much to write over again.
