Duraloop max discharge rate?

[BatteryCharger]

I'm building a 12v battery back using some Duraloop batteries. What is the maximum safe continuous discharge rate for these? 1C? 2C? 5C? 10C?

This very short datasheet for it shows a 2C discharge curve, so I assume that is safe. It may be higher though.

It depends on what you want to get from your cells. SilverFox ran the eneloop at 10A (5C) in the NiMH shootout, and it held up well, considering I guess. Personally, I like a cell to hold 1.2 Volt under the applied load, in which case the eneloop would start to fail at 3A (1.5C).
