Default Amps drawn from a Li-Poly

I have some 3 cell Li-Poly batteries 2800mamps that are rated at 6amps draw with 9 amps burst. Can anyone help:

How realistic are specifications, I am assuming I should be somewhat cautious with Li-poly's? I am used to abusing NiCads!
What will happen if I draw excessive amps, say double?
If I have an application requiring 20amps, would I be correct in assuming that I can put three of my packs in parallel.

Is there a book along the lines of brushless motors and liPoly batteries for idiots?

Thanks in advance.

do they have a 6amp rating? or is it 6C with 9C max burst?

Hi, that was quick, thanks.

They are the 3 cells on this page.

Oh, they're li-ion, which is different than li-poly. I'd believe their rating, and yes, you can hood 3 in parallel for the 20amps you need.

Thanks again.

Sorry I am stuck on Li-poly as a term.
