Greetings, thank you for writing in.
A customer gave the following review:
" Solid performance lithium battery

This is a good battery for replacing failing batteries in small low drain devices like radio, phone, Mp3s players. I did find that the 2000 mAh rating is assuming a less than 500 mA discharge rate as anything over that begins to drag the capacity lower and a 1A discharge rate reports closer to 1450 mAh than 2000. I would avoid use in high drain devices."
I theory, all of our lipos should be 2c meaning they should be able to handle 2X their capacity in current output. In theory, this battery should be able to draw 4A, however, there are drawbacks to doing so like the above customer points out.
I hope this helps.
