Nice information though, it could be useful, I'd just like to see how you back up your results (I worked in a lab experimenting with LiNiO2 batteries).
1. I dont know how much we load tested, I was in and out, my dad took care of that.

2. We measued each battery after it had been fully charged. 14.20 was the average I believe after a full charge with no load.
3. The batteries are 2 from each season, seasons 2004-2006.

They are all the same model I believe.

Like I said, it is an approximation and nothing is a substitute for a good old volt meter.
