Wouldn't it be REALLY nice to have a standardized testing procedure done so that we could compare apples to apples? A set of tests that would cover aircraft, car, and boat use. I know this has been discussed to death, but it sure would help us out while exposing those "too good to be true" deals...

Oooohh yes, I know! A sort of "EPA" rating type thing, like a driving cycle simulation for cars/trucks, with short high amp bursts, going up and down, like accelerate, cruise, brake, small current the turn around, repeat. Or just take cycle data from racing, and apply that to the testing procedure. Cuz we all know cars/trucks discharging is much different than planes/boats.

And I think who ever sells lipo packs should test them themselves, with some sort of standard discharging equipment, you know? So they can actually stand behind their products, and know first hand what they are capable of.
