So judging from the graph that was posted at a 50 amps discharge rate are we expecting to see the same battery hold 487.5 amps continuous? Objectively speaking, I really dont think that battery should be tested with any higher amperage being drawn from it given the voltages that were shown. We all agree 50 amps is a lot. So we are saying an 10C continuous pack with bursts of 20C is more than sufficient for most applications at a 6500mah rating. Yet I see ratings of 25C, 40C and now 75C continous being advertised. I understand the need to post these higher numbers as I'm sure they generate sales, but eventually these numbers come back to haunt manufacturers in the forum posts.
Brandon,
You have a great attitude, and if you keep it up I believe you can the company you now work for some good. Any manufacturer that openly argues with potential buyers in these forums just does more damage than good. This is a tough industry to be in. I dont think I have ever tested a battery that has lived up to its claims in terms of advertised C rating vs real world numbers.
