How does discharging a battery significantly faster than its standard rating affect the total energy delivered?
Answer
Less than the rated Ah total energy will likely be delivered.
Discharging at high currents (high C-rates) leads to greater internal resistance losses, which manifest as heat and cause the voltage to drop faster, reducing the total extracted capacity before the low-voltage cutoff is hit.
