Who did the testing? Math doesn't lie. In order for any battery of any capacity to deliver constant current for 4 minutes, the maximum continuous discharge rate would be 15c - and this assumes you would actually get full capacity at 15c discharge, which isn't likely. 15c on a 4100mah battery is 61.5 amps. Maybe they can discharge at 150 amps, but they can't do it for 4 minutes straight unless somebody found perpetual energy and used this amazing discovery in these cells! If the cells deliver full capacity at 150 amps, they could only do so for 1.64 minutes before they were completely discharged.
Cool project, though and I look forward to its completion. :)
