Yeah, that would be nice... Worst case scenario would be best.. I like it when batteries are underrated.. I usually underrate them myself by about 20% when figuring out speed, power, voltage & capacity.... It's always nice to have a battery pack that can perform whatever is marked on the sticker.. without any fine prints.. but I guess that would be hard to do..

LOL, I bet you'd love to be the person to perfom all these test... I know I wouldn't mind.. house full of LiPos, imagine that...
