I'm not referring to using Amp-hours - note that I quoted capacities of competing products using the same unit.
What grinds my gears is copy-pasting without understanding the notation. mAh g-1 is not a unit. mA⋅h⋅g<sup>-1</sup> or mA⋅h/g is. I expect a technical article to at least use the correct notation for SI units. If your publishing system is so crappy that it doesn't support middle-dots and proper superscript, use division instead.
The mess seen in the article is the result of mindless copypasta.
Nonsense like "gigaWatts" shouldn't even be possible and causes red squiggly lines even while typing this in a browser; not to mention "gW" (grams times Watts?, Wattgrams?).
If you present technical information and include technical data, use the correct notation. Failing to do so demonstrates that there's no or a very poor editorial process and that the author has no clue what they're even writing about. This doesn't inspire confidence in the actual substance of the article, much like proper grammar and orthography are an essential part of a good essay.
