I am going to refrain from blasting them, as they are a guest here. But I would largely agree with the above statement in regards to many companies. I can't say every MA pack holds up to its rating, they seem a bit hit and miss, and generally they seem to take the "optimistic" rating. That's why I always go w/ TrueRC packs, they tend to underrate all their packs, plus they are considerably cheaper for what amts to the same quality of pack for the most part. Its my understanding both cells originate from the same factory ;)
I think a more realistic rating for the majority of their packs would be 15C.
