Then, hook the cell up to an Eagletree (or something similar) and measure voltages and temps in 10 second intervals for the continuous test, and 10-50 milli-second intervals for the burst test (to capture the 0.5s pulse readings). This is assuming the ET device can be modded to handle higher currents without insertion losses (only being used for voltage). Also, I assume the raw data can be saved? Need those for custom calculations and graphs.
That said, what reseller is going to go on the word of just some dude doing these tests in their basement? I was thinking more of an already established third party testing company.

Just an afterthought. Look into a calibration company to do the testing that you are looking for. They are certified and inspected by NIST on a regular basis, have extensive, and expensive test equipment, and tons of dummy loads, as well as be able to provide you the raw data and what their findings are.
Not a lot of people know about calibration so it is overlooked. But this may be the way to go. Like I said, just an afterthought.
