Normally I do to, but in this case there's good reason to talk about thousands of mAh's instead of Ah's, which is that the typical sort of things you'd power with these batteries have current draw in the mA range, so mA's are the natural unit to use. It's like measuring energy in Joules normally versus talking about electron volts for chemistry or mega-/giga-/tera- electron volts for nuclear physics (depending on the flavor).
