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?

I'm testing at very close to 1 amp using six 2 ohm resistors that actually measure 13 ohms total and plan on using 12 volts as end point. I doesn't seem like there is much useful capacity past that point. I'll report my data back.
