I think a perspective check is in order.... cripes whose that handsome bloke in the mirror... ooops, wrong forum...
Realy, we are hammering these cells anyhows, these cells are designed to be charged at a much lower rate and discharged at a much lower rate, we then ask them to take current at probably 5 times they should and god knows how much more times on the discharge.
Due to this, we match our cells for performance and not longevity, so we match on discharge which gives an accurate picture of an individual cells performance as what you put in is always more than what you get out. Runtime is used by larger matchers, mainly as they can then segregate cells even more, with AV and runtime, but the prime value is the AV.
If we wanted cells to last longer than a politicians speech, go boating, lol.
