I don't have the equipment to test 75c continuous(nobody I know does, either), much less 150c - I plan on mapping voltage under load against a 6500mah Hyperion pack (35c cont./65c burst rated) to guage the overall ability of the pack. The fact is that even at 75c continuous, the pack would only last for 48 seconds before being completely discharged(assuming it could deliver 6500mah at this load, which is doubtful). The wires, connectors, etc. couldn't handle this load without melting, either. I am completely confident that the packs can't deliver 75c continuous, as the wire and connectors are a necessary part of any pack. I don't intend to even attempt to verify this absurdity. I do, however, hope to get an idea of the overall capability of the packs. If they can hang with the Hyperion packs (voltage at a given load), then they(the packs)will have earned my respect. Regardless of label claims, I am interested in any quality battery pack.

Great point. C rating is almost meaningless with these higher ratings being swung around. Really what we are after is voltage at a given load. The higher the voltage the more power our setups will produce, the happier we will be. Look forward to your results when you are able.
