Thanks again for the all of the valuable info.
Yes.
West Mountain also sells a higher current device for those who wish to test at really high currents. I would recommend a high current test be carried out only once or twice a season. We also save the battery tests to a file and overlay the battery with a new test next season.

Please remember that even under the best conditions, the manufacturer specs the battery at 400 charge/discharge cycles. I would guess under our use, that is 300 for teams with the two match or better usage and 200 or less for those that drain a battery in one match.
