I have never had a Tenergy last more than 2 years. Usually after about 2 seasons of use even with proper storage (80% charge in the fridge during the off season) they wont hold enough of a charge to fire more than 20-30 BB's after that time period. As said they also have lower than average voltage output and amperage supply. For the price they are great since they are very inexpensive, but they are not too great as batteries go.

As for 1500mAh SC cells, might be a case of smaller cells with a larger shell on them. I have seen it done with cheap capacitors from China where there is an extra shell to make them look bigger for some odd reason as they still have the same rating as smaller ones. Generally quality battery companies don't offer SC cells in less than 2400mAh in NiCd and 3000mAh in NiMh.
