Default ok lets try this again

When you're cycling, the interesting number is the capacity on DISCHARGE. You should discharge at C/5 to about 0.9V per cell if you want to see the same numbers the manufacturers get.

The charging rate has some effect on the amount stored but not very much (at least in my experience). IMO it makes a lot of sense to charge at the rate you usually use.
