I think you are misreading the graph perhaps - or misunderstanding something. The ESC brakes actually puts power back into the batteries - the opposite of amp draw. This is called regenerative braking. Braking is "giving power back" rather than drawing power from the batteries. Acceleration, particularly from a standstill will cause the largest spikes on the graph. Braking will show as zero current most likely, but with higher than nominal voltage. :)
