Sanyo UR14500P which is used in the KeepPower 840mAh. Note that they're long and won't fit in a lot of lights.
Second highest I believe is one made by DLG which is used in the Nitecore NL147 and KeepPower 800mAh.

Welcome to CPF, larry502! :wave:
What make/type would that be? Best I know of are a little over 800 mAh. So that 'legit cap' would out-do that by almost 50% ? Read: "absolutely, unbelievably, spectacular and newsworthy". Or ehm... not legit.

Try Sanyo 840s and don't look back.
Naked cells aren't the 'enemy.'

Doing further research shows that they were also not correct. Best battery I have found so far is the tenergy tabbed battery I believe its listed @ 900mAh

Capacity isn't the determining factor in the quality of a cell, or battery.
Again, the Sanyo 840mAh UR14500P is at the top of the heap. You can buy them in naked, or protected form.

I'm going to pick up a few got any good sources?
Banggood has them made by keeppower

Don't know where you live, but I bought 4 from Orbtronic a couple of years back and they're working out fine. They're nakeds, but they have protected ones as well.

:twothumbsSame cells "Panasonic/Sanyo" as the Keeppowers...800mAh and 840mAh.. (the best) :twothumbs And they're
momentary the highest (non fake) 14500mAh batterie's as possible....
The Ultrafire's 1200mAh are good but the capacity is "fake"...
they only got about 550mAh..or so..

I also have some trust fire flames protected cells. They're marked as 900mah and they're about 750mah at a 1a discharge. Hold their voltage well too. I got 4 for 14 bucks last year
