The mAh rating (ie AW IMR 18650 2000mAh) can provide a very rough estimation of the battery time. 100 mAh = 1 hour. 2000 mAh = 20 hours. This is figuring you will be using the battery at a fixed 3.8 volts; higher voltage will decrease the battery time. However, mAh ratings are often dubious at best, especially for lesser quality batteries.
