also, to remove all variables batteries should be at ambient temp and the testing room temp should be noted. As well as pack temp after. Up to x mph cooling airflow allowed.
Are there any variables I am missing?
Let us make the criteria and shove it down the industries throat! It's our money lining their pockets, lets us be informed!

From my perspective the best person to set this up if he wants to accept is Brian G. He can place whatever we come up with into one of his spec charts for all of us to have access to.
I believe all we have to do is input what we feel is most important for these comparisons and once its all put together you can copy it as a file and attach it to your letter to Consumer Reports as a request from the entire R/C community and list The RCM Forum as a place of contact for further info if required. This really shouldn't be all that hard to pull together with the level of intelligance, skills, and experience gathered in here.
Really guys lets do this. Let us all pull together here on RCM and put this to rest once and for all. Just think of what this can do for the entire R/C community world wide? This can put an end to all of the confusion, and all of the Bull$hit blowing smoke up peoples skirt trying to fluff up their particular batteries regardless of advertising or anything else for that matter. Just pure facts, and stright up comparisons. Then they can talk all the crap they want about how their product is the best in the world or in the market, but none of that will matter because we will have the facts to shut them up. What do you guys think??
If we are all onboard with this, then BrianG can you set up a specific thread where all of us can put in our two cents for entries into whatever format you can come up with as a standard for Consumer Reports or whoever gets involved with this can follow. I know I'm pumped about the possible outcome that this will be able to reveal for all of us. Put the mystery out of the equasion and let us make the standard which all of the manufacturers will have to meet in order to be competitive for our business.
