Long time lurker ... Thanks for all the information in this forum.

Last week, I built a 12V 4s2p 240AH battery pack with LiitoKala cells and got a Rigol DL3021A Electronic Load. The pack was charged to about 95% and then discharged leaving about 5%, mostly because I didn't want to put too much stress on the new battery. The battery was discharged at a constant current of 17A.

As a way to return a little something to the community that I have taken so much from, I offer my full raw test results. Feel free to use this any way you want.

Cells used:

Raw test results:
For myself, I used the information to create my own discharge table. The table leaves 10% available capacity below 0%, so it's not a true discharge table but one that will help extend the life of the battery and gives me a bit of a reserve.

Have fun with this!

This measured with a 4-wire Load test and collaborated within 0.1mv against my bench multimeter. I trust these results.
