but is it **more** true with the "longevity" meaning of "lasts long"?
or the per-trip "range" meaning?

So two cells both "rated" 3000 mAh, both from top quality brands, but one claims 40C the other only 10C.
In a use case that never goes above say .2C, is the latter more likely to actually deliver greater capacity?

True as a crude summary ,..but not always so with exceptions like A123 lifePo having very high “C” rates and exceptional long life cyclee-beach said:....one could infer from real world performance that RC lipo can deliver higher C rates then Lico but burns out sooner then Lico, while Lico delivers high C ratings then LiFePO but burns out sooner then LiFePO. Other then that manufactures datasheets are required for real A/B comparison.

In a use case that ** never actually goes above say .2C **, is the latter batt more likely to **actually deliver** greater capacity?
And, what's the meaning of "bolt" at the end of posts?
Thanks that was exactly my question, a guide to speculation when accurate data is not (yet) available.e-beach said:I could speculate but it would be speculation. If it were a guessing game then I would guess the 40c cell would indeed wear out faster then the 10c cell
