the bottleneck of your packs are the wires. They are not meant for currents larger than 60A if you do ask more than 60A from them, those wires will melt. The battery itself is not limited, they simple can't deliver >60A without damaging. the wires will melt. (can be the little flat wire that connects the lipoly with each other or the power leads, but i fear it are the connections that will fail.)

It is a very slow fuse, it won't burn up when you ask 100A for .5 seconds. but they are not meant to deliver that.

That note is probably the result of a bad experience they had. (in a test or from a customer)

@ squee, the packs will rise in voltage, not in max current when put in serie. It takes parallel to double the discharge and the capacity.
