I don't know. I do know that there are several kinds of lithium-based
batteries. My little fireball was an "Li-Poly", I think the "poly"
stands for polymer. It was super light, very small (0.5" x 1" x 2"
maybe), had a capacity of 850 mAh at 11.7V, a very flat discharge curve,
and very low internal resistance (could deliver at over 5C) ... the
flame thing was the only downside.
