Notes:

Thanks to Nikola Goranov for supplying this cell for testing purposes!

This battery is a part of a chinese bike flashlight. Despite the „3500 mAh“ markings, the actual capacity is no more than 1000 mAh, even though this isn't the most ridiculous lie from UltraFire :) It seems that both models of this brand weigh some mere 33 grams, which kinda explains the quantity and quality of the chemistry they contain...
