Size
The 18650 (18mm by 65mm) battery is a size classification of lithium-ion batteries. If you have ever held one in your hand, you probably noticed it is the same shape, but a bit larger than a AA battery. AA batteries by comparison are sometimes called 14500 batteries, because they have a 14mm diameter and 50mm height. Cylindrical lithium-ion batteries all follow the same nomenclature, their name being determined by their size (diameter, followed by height).

Specifications
The two most important specs for 18650 cells are capacity measured in mAh (milliamp hours) and maximum continuous discharge measured in A (amperes). When selecting a battery type you must favor one over the other. High-capacity batteries have a low max. continuous discharge and high-amp batteries have a low capacity. Typical highest-capacity batteries in 2015 are ~3500mAh, and highest-amp batteries are 30A.

Voltage
18650 cells are usually rated at 3.6, 3.7, and sometimes 3.65 volts. These ratings are all essentially the same. It is the average voltage during a complete discharge. The complete voltage range for most 18650s is between 2.5 volts and 4.2 volts. Many people avoid going below 3 volts. Going above or below this range when charging or discharging can result in heat generation, smoke, fire, or explosion.
