So, the real peaks are probably much higher than you think they are if you extrapolate the curve. Also, if you calculate cell resistance over various current draws, you will be able to get an idea of the real current and see if it matches the graph.
I've logged over 140A peaks on a CRT.5 using a Medusa 36-50-3300 on 3s geared fairly conservatively. So I imagine the peaks on the 8th scales are well into the 200-300A range.
Oh, and my 150A version uses 12GA wire from what I can tell.

Yes, thanks for pointing that out about the graphs. On "spikes" over 100 amp, the top is flattened out, or chopped off looking. The closer to 120 amps the peak gets, the flatter it gets. Hmmmm.........
Peaks under 100 amps are very sharp. They look like ice picks.
The 150 amp version is bound to be better than this, at least for 4S setups.
With a Higher Voltage setup, Amp spikes should drop back into the measureable realm, I would think. But that does all depend on the setup.
What is the Highest Amp Logger out there? One that's capable.
