Mr. Hong do you remember a life cycle test that was run by a Mr. Shimizo of Japan on the Etec and Kokam cells? He ran the Etec 700ma cells at 5.2 amps or 7.5C for 100 cycles over three weeks. The results showed the Etecs performed nearly as well after 100 cycles as they did for the 1st cycle. He then tested the Etec 1200ma cells at 8.4 amps or 7C and obtained similar results. I'm sorry to say that the Kokam 1020ma cells he tested didn't perform very well.
You even asked Mr. Shimizo if he would test your 700ma and 1500ma cells and even offered to them to him for free. Do you remember? In any case the Etec cells performed very well at those high discharge rates and didn't fail because of the heat being generated as you stated.
If you would like, I could post the link to those tests if it will help refresh your memory.
I'm sure JJ doesn't need reminding.
I'm sure you have been around long enough to know the 1020 are first gen (rc) cells and as such do not perform as well as the second gen 1200 cells. The 1020's are rated to 4A max, the 1200's to 8A max, 6A continuous. Currently, Kokam have the best performing high discharge cell bar none, in the form of the 340. So, what is your point?
