It's interesting as in my hobby we use the LiPo 'pouch' type cells in 2s configuration (7.4V) and recently people have been charging at high current rates to gain performance (the warmer the cell the lower it's internal resistance, so the greater the current it can supply), of course this is...

Interesting, I thought the current would be a lot higher than that.

I have read up a little on the battery packs, 6 groups of 74 cells in each moddule, and 16 modules in series etc, but does anyone know what current is being put into each 18650 battery cell when the car is plugged into a Supercharger station? I'm just interested in how hard each lithium cell is...
