from beavinator: They are used in the Formula 1 cars on the KERS systems. 100$ a cell

20 000 Wwatts per kg !!!

100$ / cell .. I guess they must be really powerfull!!!

Great info. The part number looks like it is AHR18700-M1-ULTRA-F1.
That is from searching on google until I found the MSDS safety data sheet which lists a whole bunch of interesting cells.

If this sheet is accurate, there is also a 26mm diameter version of the "ultra" cell which should have similar power ratings.

That was kind of slow for that package. It must be well backed up in Europe with the Holidays and bad weather.
