nbcaz, of course you aren't drawing 76A continuously or runtime would only be 3 minutes. However, I am sure you are drawing above that value in bursts, which is fine. But, the batteries need some time in between these bursts. Unfortunately, the battery makers don't tell you how much time between these bursts is needed for safe operation. For instance; if you are pulling 1 second 120A bursts every 10 seconds, it might not be enough "settling down time" in between.

This is why I tend to look more at the continuous C value.
