Danny from SMC and Jang did a bunch of IR testing and those were the results from both.
and my understanding is that if the touring car 17.5 guys are getting more power from it, we will too
I spoke with one of the guys and he charges at 20 amps
but he admitted he saw no performance over 10 amps. It was just so that his packs charged quicker.
