Only in one review: Voltage 3.7 V (Samsung INR18650-30Q); Capacity at high current 2456 mAh (VTC6 with tabs); Energy 10.73 Wh (VTC6 with tabs); Resistance 30 mΩ (VTC6 with tabs); Price 8.92 $ (Samsung INR18650-30Q).

VTC6 with tabs: Capacity matches the claim, but resistance is high and performance does not match VTC6; the author limited discharge to 10 A.

Samsung INR18650-30Q: At a 3 A discharge, capacity was about 2940 mAh, matching the stated figures.
