I guess once the matched lipos come out and CE comes out with a TURBO LIPO charger we can see discharge and charge data.
I probably shouldn't try and answer these questions as I'm still learning about these things as well, but I know almost all your answers are in this thread, as I've seen the answers to your questions. I'd recommend doing a search for Rick Howart's posts. He's been very good at providing information.
I can say that these packs never should be "dumped". As I understand it is dangerous to let them drop below 6v. Things go boom.
