One Amazon reviewer of the EBL 3000mAh 18650 claimed he only measured 2200mAh from the cells. Why buy these when you can buy other cells for a 3-$4 more per cell and get 33% more capacity.

EBL also sells AA and triple A's. The AA's claim to be 2800mAh and the LSD rating appears not be according to one reviewer. Still some of the AA's did measure close to 2700mAh. Others were not as good, more like 2500mAh. According to the reviewer the Low Self Discharge claim was bogus. If true that is not so good and negates the higher capacity rating. If the AA's/AAA's were true LSD they would be worth looking into.
