Austin is the owner, he used to work for CBP.

Austin's response:

The only real fair way to test is to weigh the packs, test the capacity of the packs(true mah), and test the voltage under load....
It is all very confusing because there is no standard for the “C” rate testing.


So Austin is saying that the fair way to compare is to test capacity and voltage under load. That is what Kung did, and Jason says it is not fair. Of course there is no real standard for C ratings, but there is a standard charged voltage and voltage cutoff that makes determining what the cell can handle a very easy task. To determine a C rating all one has to do is pinpoint an average voltage and increase the discharge rate until it gets there or the discharged MAH hits 90% below rated capacity (or whatever). There are other methods but that is not really important. What is important are the two things that a battery produces- voltage and amperage. Controlling other details of the matter just makes measurement more precise.
