I just figured I would add this as the OP...

I did not start this thread with the intent of taking shots at MA's new product. That being said, I still think the rating of 150C is quite ridiculous for ANY battery pack that small, not just this one from MA.

If we are talking about a <5ms spike rating then yes, the cells probably can do that. Any longer and the tabs would most likely melt off.

A [universal] method of rating the continuous AND peak discharge of a battery is the way to go. Rating a cell/pack for just one or the other does not provide enough information.
