If you only look at the C ratings of these two packs:

6000mah 20C = 120 amps continous discharge
5000mah 25C = 125 amps continous discharge

If both were rated accurately, the difference wouldn't be enough to really notice.

Perhaps one of these companies is making false claims. Hmmmm......

Building packs out of cheaper cells, inflating the ratings AND the pricing?
