LifePo4 Voltage at .5C - .6C Discharge
Our two GC2's (with 100% charge) drop below 12v while under a 100a - 125a load. When they reach 50% (at 100a - 125a), voltage drops into the low 11's while under-load. What kind of under-load volt...

The AH thing is just baffling. In that one video the German guy says you can be down 50% in AH but more than half way down in Energy. Huh?
The whole idea is that amps is "power" and AH is "energy". Are there are two kinds of "Energy" ? Just bizarre.

You lost me after the first two statements.
I am pretty sure we have discussed this all before and it is pretty basic physics: Power = volts * amps.
Energy = Power * time.
With a battery the first half of the Ah drawn from the battery are at a higher voltage than the second half, so yes at 50% Ah you have used more than 50% of the energy in the battery.
Amps are not 'power', they are current or the rate of flow of charge. Ah is not energy, it is charge.
From there on you loose me...
But at any rate, this would probably make much more sense to you if you brushed up on physics 101 first.
