no self respecting battery matcher would sell IB's with a discharge curve like that
Again, you can't use discharge curves from a low 20 amp discharge rate to compare lipos to nimh. Lipos do not respond to constant current in a favorable way. When was the last time you drove your car at a constant 20 amp rate for the life of the battery?
