If dead shorted the current will spike higher than this before the wire goes open circuit but it will be long before it reaches the maximum current the lipo is capable of.

The maximum continual rating may be 10A. This means the cable can handle 10A without damaging it or the insulation. In a short circuit situation the cable will act like fuse wire. It will carry the full load fault current until the cable basically melts and therefore breaks the circuit.
