Not really - An ESC is never always pulling current from the battery it is a very fast switch pulling current very fast through each phase. You don't even see this pattern on an Eagle Tree as it is happening so fast.

The max voltage point was related to back EMF when braking - the breaking force is converted back into energy and shunted via the ESC into the battery. These spikes can be very high... If they get too high and the battery can't take the energy quickly then the ESC can say enoughs enough... This is worse when ESC's are running close to there rated voltage as the ESC obviously has less voltage "head room".

Have a look through BrianG and Patricks posts...
