Zil, could you let me know the brand of your 100ah battery? The other day, I saw Lion Battery rated 105ah and configured to continuously discharge 150A. Seems manufacturers are all over the place in setting their continuous discharge rate. Discharging a 100ah battery too often or too long at...

Sorry, I should have made a note. I've been following a lot of companies on Alibaba. As I recall this was one of the larger ones although I realize that doesn't help much

DZL sorry for my screwup above. Here's my full text and a snapshot of a battery I just now came across. Just saw a battery for sale that's a good example of what I'm talking about. Hard for me to understand why they set the BMS to restrict discharge to below capacity and it is by no means uncommon

DZL, thanks for your effort. First, I left out I was interested only in lithium batteries so Peukert's Law and even heat are not factors I'm considering. I AM aware of the difference between capacity and current and this is where I think battery makers are selling us short. They're selling...

That's another great advantage of lithium over lead acid

I should have made clear that I had in mind lithium batteries. Peukert's formula does not apply to lithium batteries.

That will Great. You will have your work cut out for you testing. Hope they test out for you.

I often see batteries for sale with continuous discharge rate at much less than their rated capacity. For example a 200ah battery continuously discharging only 100A or 150A. I always wonder why they sacrifice so much output. Only two answers occur to me. #1 the maker wants to extend battery life...

Can I twist this question a little? I often see batteries for sale with continuous discharge rate at much less than their rated capacity. For example a 200ah battery continuously discharging 100A or 150A. I always wonder why they sacrifice output. Only two answers occur to me. #1 the maker...

Jimmy, how did the testing of the XD batteries turn out? They looks as if they are put together well. Did you happen to open one?
