Using these two examples;

http://www.onlybatterypacks.com/showitem.asp?ItemID=10715.5
The 1st contains 2400mAh cells w/ a 30A discharge rate.
The 2nd contains 5000mAh cells w/ a 20A discharge rate.
How can a cell with a higher capacity have a lower discharge rate and vice-a-versa? Also, I'm told that the one with the higher discharge rate is better with a lower temperature durning use.
Confused.
Separate subject; I know this has been beaten to death, but I was under the impression NiCAD packs do NOT have to be cycled every time before a recharge. Now I'm told they do. I thought only a decade ago that was true.
