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.

gold star for dobber........ lee take some 10 amp rated wire and with a very good ampmeter see what it peaks at before it goes open circuit, and dont forget if its not a full short (le low discharge)it could discharge just one of the 2s cells! as its the balance port, assuming the cell is ok is a bold claim
