Not quite sure where the previous posters are going with their comments. From what I gather, theres a picture of the name instead of it written out. I ran into that too when I tried to copy and paste the name to find the discharge rate of the battery, but I didnt question it, I just typed it out in my search engine.

am i right in thinking these wont suit a high discharge application
I am going from memory here, but if you put more cells in parallel, then these 10A discharge cells (or cans), would add up.
For example, IIRC if you have a 15S5P (75 cells), you are good for 50A discharge at whatever voltage 15S is. Why? because its 5P, so 5 x 10A discharge is 50A. If its 20S10P (200 cells) , then you are good for 100A, and whatever voltage 20S is. I think they are 3.65-3.7Vmax, I could be wrong. The lower the C-rate (that you pull from your batteries) the longer your cells will last. I take a page out of other experienced E.S. users comment(s), again IIRC, some mention they like to use a very high Ah pack, because A) this reduces the stress on the batteries, plus B) it gives them a lot of headroom to just ride and return with juice left over, and C) not charge as often when doing milk runs (short rides).
If you need high power density (W/kg) rather than high energy density (Wh/kg) cells than you will have to go with LiPo.
You have to know what you are doing when dealing with LiPo or any other battery for that matter. LiPo's are a great battery, tons of power and cheap. Any battery can burn down your house, or garage. I personally think hard metal cans are better than ziplock pouches. Of course I am being sarcastic with the word ziplock, but they are still pouches.
