30C Continuous(ish) Lipo Discharge

Yeah, average amp draw is around 6 -7 times lower than the spikes, and "running" amperage is ~2X lower than the average. Of course, this depends on how it is used, gearing, etc, but pretty typical.

Hi Brian. I'm glad you stopped into this thread.

Remember the home brew battery discharger? That would have been turning alot of lipos into goo. LOL (Testing of this nature isn't something you would want to do in your home.)

Although, if what I suspect is correct, it wouldn't be fair to judge all Lipos by the one in the video.

I also suspect that a 30C continuous discharge (even to 3.0 volts per cell) would substantially shorten the life of just about ANY Lipo pack on the market.
