I have seen that where they say it maintains the same "capacity" But it still runs for less time the higher the draw.
They say 1C for an hour is the same "capacity" as 0.05C for 20 hrs like using RC instead of AH.
Peukert has it running for less time the higher the draw too, with fewer AH at the higher draws
Then they start using "twice the power" or more energy density. Makes me feel I am being flim-flammed.
However, after some digging, it turns out they just mean it can do the high draw for longer than Brand X, not that it does not take less time than a lower draw would.
Can't help it--as soon as I see "power" and "energy" in the advertisement I get all paranoid they are messing with my mind. Just give me my Trimetric monitor and AHs and let me go camping and everything will come out right :)
