Are there any AA-sized lithium cells that have the same performance as the prismatic cells? Normal 14500's can only discharge at like 3C, while those prismatic li-poly cells can do 15C. Just wondering.

Edit: Crap, wrong forum. Sorry, I'm new here.

I've never heard of any litium cells that can discharge at 15C, at that rate they will overheat. Even 3C is pushing it, you'll severly shorten the cycle life of a lithium cell.

There are some high drain lithium cells that should be hitting the market in the next several months to a year.
