CBA V PRO vs Programmable 400W DC Electronic Load Tester (Flip-a-coin??)

Its been a while for this topic but i noticed a possible error.
For the LF280K EVE cells the datasheet states that 280Ah is determined by loading to 3.65V (takes ~3h for "new" cells with 40A)
Generally the producer states how the Ah is determined.
Then you are to discharge with 0.5C which would be 140A
What is your point? You are advocating everyone should drop $3000 on a battery tester? We can read the spec sheet too. FYI, you can parallel the 40 amp testers. I have 4 of them myself. Add in a busbar and you can draw 160 amps from a cell, or 100 amps from a 12v battery.
 
Don't interpret to much into it.
For once i only intended to point out that the eve cells have a note in the datasheet how the capacity is tested. Maybe or not othere manufacturers have as well.
As for tester...i did not propagate any specific tester. Anyway, the one i use (which supplies 40A) is the EBC which did cost me a fraction of that.
175$ for thoose eager to know. Not that it matters.
