No - not that kind of explicit! :naughty:

Found this on a PDF for Tenergy batteries., the 10308 model 2600 mAh type.

Endurance in cycles
Prior to the endurance in cycles test, the battery unit shall be discharged at 210mA to 1.0V
end voltage. A battery unit shall be capable of 500 minimum cycles under the conditions
as follows.
Cycle
Charge
Rest
Discharge
1
250mA for 16hours
None
500mA×140minutes
2~48

250mA for190minutes

None
500mA×140minutes
49

250mA for 190minutes

None
500mA to 1.0V
50
250mA for 16hours
1h to 4h
500mA to 1.0V

Cycles 1 to 50 shall be repeated until the discharge time on any 50 th cycle becomes
less than 3 hours. At this stage, repeat 50 th cycle, if the discharge time is less than 3
hours again the test is terminated.
Note: If battery unit voltage drops below 1.0V, discharge shall be discontinued.
