If one "plays" with the cba long enough one can figure out how to make the voltage higher on the graphs that are generated. I can conceivably pull any current on a "pack" , graph it with a cba and see what happens to said pack during the test.

One thing is for sure: life cycle tests will be very pronounced when the graphs are overlaid. One thng that's missing from the maxamps graphs is the numbers in the box on right. It is easier to leave the battery plugged on and save the graph thus saving the (somewhat meaningless numbers)

Here' the way I see it , a guess on my part:

Many users who pull high currents question Maxamps ratings.
Maxamps insists that they "are the best" without data or proof.
Maxamps buys a CBA with amp and doesn't know how to use it.
Bait and switch the older "20C" cells without anyone being able to locate a graph of the older 20 C cells. Point to the neweer graphs instead (better cells)
Market the latest cells in a hurry , test them afterwords.
Hurry to get a graph out on the net , oops.
Replace graph , oops.
Realise the "pack" will not make the rating.
Replace the graph with single cell and forced cooling at less than the rating
Conclude that "it will go even more"

I'd like to see some cycle life and some real temp at end and after end of one 35 C discharge test.

There are plenty of other tricks to use when marketing battery numbers , I wil look for them.
