Are you doing a constant dump? If thats the case then your numbers would correlate that. If you change loads up and down you will see very little change until after 5mins. Resistance will also play a factor in that equation as well as the battery manufacturer. We can race with numbers all day, but at the end of the day, those numbers don't win races.
