I think they are around 1300mah - 1500mah. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It depends on the specific drain rate.
From Silverfox's test data:
(https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/67078)
1550 mah @ 0.5 amps
1440 mah @ 1.0 amps (-7%)
1050 mah @ 2.0 amps (-32%)
Also, the watt-hours (the total energy content of the cell) drops off even faster than the mah does due to more voltage sag at the higher drain rates:
3.6 w-h @ 0.5 amps
3.1 w-h @ 1.0 amps (-14%)
2.1 w-h @ 2.0 amps (-42%)

I agree, someone please move this.
I use to use them before getting the Duracell 1550mah from batteryjunction but seems I remembering them being 1500mah
