The 4000's had 3500 capacity when discharged at a constant 20 Amps.
I thought the 3200's were exceptional value but the 4000's cost a fair bit more than the 3200's and have nothing like their stated capacity. Tomorrow I am going to verify the 25C claim. The 3200's easily sustained their 20C claim.
I am not all that surprised that the 4000's do not even have 90% of their claimed capacity as they only weigh 14g more than the 3200's and you can't get capacity out of thin air. I would not be surprised if they can't handle 25C either, but I won't know that until tomorrow.
I look forward to your testing of the 25c rating on that 4000.
