Here are a couple of good links to some battery company sites. They both
have data on Li-Ion batteries.
www.tadiranbat.com
data.energizer.com (NOTE, no www. at the beginning of this address; I
don't know why)
I hope you can get what you want from these sources.

Best regards,

    I see my local surplus store has a LI-ION cell phone batteries on sale for
    $27 (Canadian). I think that is a good price, is it? I've heard these
    things last until hell freezes over then thaws again. Well maybe not, but
    they do have a very high capacity don't they? The pack I saw looked like it
    had either AA or AAA cells in it. What would the approx. capacity of this
    be? What is the maximum discharge rate on LI-ION? Is it anywhere as good
    as Ni-Cads? Also how does one charge them? do they need a special charger?
    Would a regular wall adapter thing work? How about a ni-cad peak charger?
    Or a cell battery charger? What is the maximum current they can chrage
    at? Please help
