I suppose it would be unfair to say that they wouldn't eventually be found to be under-performing with a 7.5A test. We have had a few batteries that seemed OK testing at a lower current draw (~7.5A) that dropped off rapidly at a higher current draw (~50A). I will try to pull up some CBA data/plots this evening and compare.

I'll have to look again at the battery test files but I don't think I usually test them to as low a cutoff voltage as Allen (10.5V) and AL (8V) suggest. IIRC I usually set a cutoff voltage of 11.5V.
