It probably won't be quite that bad. With only 1500mAh, they have enough space for active material. Moreover, the device manufacturer has almost no influence on the current consumption. I therefore think that 20A is already in there. If in doubt, a hopefully installed temperature sensor should put an end to the game. Nevertheless, the 1500 cells are a rip-off. I think that of the specified 1500mAh eh only 1200 - 1300mAh will be usable --> 3min at 20A... |

What? No, that's not how batteries work. They don't have "more space", they just use a shitty cell chemistry. Yes, there are cells that are designed for high current and use a cell layout/chemistry optimised for that instead of high capacity, but those crappy cells definitely aren't. Also, your 20 A figure is VERY high for good cells and catastrophically high for that crap. As you've said yourself, that would be a 20 C discharge for those. LG/Samsung cells are normally rated for 10-20 C, i definitely wouldn't use more than 3-5 C for untested garbage. |

I never really liked the "compact" versions of power tool batteries. The larger ones put much less stress on the cells so they fail less often. |

Nominal voltage is 18." |
