Default RE: Over rated batteries?

Thanks for your input. I am using 1000 MAH discharge rate and a cutoff voltage of one volt per cell which is the equipment mfg's recommendation. From discussions with other modelers, the one volt per cell seems to be the value used by most RC hobby folks. Again, I ask, are there industry or government standards for rating and testing NIMH batteries? If so, what are they? In my opinion, battery ratings are meaningless if there are no standards.

Best wishes, good luck and good flying.
