For instance if it has an extra bank of cells it can 100% certainly deliver more current. Just like tying two car batteries in parallel gives you more current capacity. I expect larger cells might also be capable of more current if the conductors are sized accordingly. -- Bob La Londe CNC Molds N Stuff -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com
