Default RE: Is there a discharge rate golden rule?

Unfortunately, there is no hard-and-fast rule of thumb regarding capacity vs. discharge rate. Most of the accepted safe discharge rates are obtained by experimentation.

1A discharge, especially for such short bursts, will be well within the capability of any NiMH cell of any appreciable size.
