Max Charge and Discharge rates for a 50ah lifePo4, Peak vs sustained

[curt95658]

I built a 24v 50ah LifeP04 battery out of cells that had little documentation. Is 1c the standard discharge rate or can I push it up to 1.5c or 2c for short bursts? It's hooked up to a well that surges at 2000w. Usually, the watts are split up between grid, solar. and battery depending on time but once in a while, it pulls the whole 2000w at 80amps from the battery alone. I don't want to trash the battery while I wait for a large battery shipping over from China.

The cheaper LifePO4 50Ah batteries from aliexpress (Litokala) claim can pull 2C continuous and 6C peak/max. Maybe somebody with experience can validate?
