From Silverfox's test data: (https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/67078) 1550 mah @ 0.5 amps 1440 mah @ 1.0 amps (-7%) 1050 mah @ 2.0 amps (-32%) Also, the watt-hours (the total energy content of the cell) drops off even faster than the mah does due to more voltage sag at the higher drain rates: 3.6 w-h @ 0.5 amps 3.1 w-h @ 1.0 amps (-14%) 2.1 w-h @ 2.0 amps (-42%) Last edited: Oct 24, 2009
