From what I've read , the problem seems to be with the truth in advertising or marketing. I like all my Maxamps packs. I got a good deal on them , and the ratings are about half of what they are sold as.

If one uses a 20C pack at 10C or less (like 90% of users will) then niether maxamps or user will detect that anything is wrong. I don't expect to get anything close to the rating out of my maxamps packs , so I simply compare said pack to competitors packs at whatever ratings/cost they actually are and make my choice to buy.

The trouble starts showing up when a user thinks it is ok to pull the amount of current that the pack is said to withstand. The pack will overheat, puff up and not last a few cycles , even become a danger to have around.
