Just like the other Sony VTC batteries, the max continuous current ratings are being read incorrectly.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the attached datasheet image the Continuous Maximum Discharge Current rating is 30A, but only if the battery temperature does not exceed 80\u00b0C! It is a temperature-limited rating and this is critical. This means that the 30A rating is only a maximum current level for short-term discharges and is not a true continuous rating.<\/p>\n<p>Below the 30A Continuous Maximum Discharge Current rating in the datasheet you can see the true continuous rating, 15A.<\/p>\n<p>I should have my tests done in a few days as I am also directly comparing the VTC6 against HG2&#8217;s and 30Q&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/image-2-e1468567716900.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13412\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/image-2-e1468567716900.jpeg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"600\" height=\"616\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/image-3-e1468567737334.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13413\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/image-3-e1468567737334.jpeg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"600\" height=\"452\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/image-4-e1468567761425.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13414\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/image-4-e1468567761425.jpeg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"600\" height=\"263\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"A%20BATTERY%20MOOCH%20POST%3A%20The%20Sony%20VTC6%20is%20not%20rated%20at%2030A%21\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m still testing this 3000mAh battery but wanted to address some misinformation going around.
