Default Test results LiFePO4 glider batteries after 6 years

Are LiFePo4 batteries not rated using a standard 1C discharge rate like SLA batteries? So, for a 10ah battery the rated capacity would be achieved at a discharge rate of 1a. 2.5a seems on the high side for a glider, even one with a fair number of electronic goodies. My ship draws not too much over 1a with FSG71, Trig, Clearnav, Flarm, and CNv. No?
