The eagletree micropower logger does record positive amps (not negative) with an increase in battery voltage while braking.
Latest log recorded yesterday with 8s2p A123 while making speed passes. Notice the amp spikes (20-25A) while the green rpm curve is falling. I never recorded amp spikes as high as described in that article.
Basicly they say use an 8s ESC when running with 6s lipo and keep resistance as low as possible (connectors, batterys, cables ...) to minimize voltage spikes while braking.
