This test consists of discharging the battery to 14.0 volts at a rate of 40 amps. At this higher discharge rate, we start to see real differences between the batteries. But we're not even close to the supposed "continuous" discharge rate. How close can we get before we have to stop?
Batteries in "Group One" are:
Turnigy Bolt 1800 mAh 4S 65C LiHV
Turnigy Bolt 1300 mAh 4S 65C LiHV
Turnigy Nano-tech 1800 mAh 4S 65C LiPo
Mad Dog 1300 mAh 4S 80C LiHV
SMC 1300 mAh 4S 37 Amp True-Spec LiPo
Bonka 1300 mAh 4S 75C LiPo
Green Gorilla 1400 mAh 4S LiHV
Green Gorilla 1100 mAh 4S LiHV
