The CBAIII we have can only sink ~7.5A @ 12VDC. We have/do run tests at 7.5A like Allen and Al suggest above but also run tests at higher current draw (50A/75A) using the dual amplifiers. FRC bots pull a lot more current for a short 2 minute match than the 7.5A tests simulate. We like to stress test our batteries under conditions that more simulate FRC bots. We have identified under-performing batteries this way.
