The 4s 10ah multistars (which i have) did not fair quite as well with a recommendation of 2.5C discharge from icecube when he did extensive tests with them.
So the 4C discharge would be continuous, no? Momentary bursts should allow higher c rating. For instance, I have my Boost settings maxed out. Even when I'm riding pretty hard, my average amps are around 50-60. When I'm accelerating up to speed (for just a few seconds ) it does exceed 100amps but then drops right back down to the 30-50 range to maintain, depending on that cruise speed and the incline. So terrain is also another big factor when choosing these settings/limitations.
Terrain is definately a massive factor as you say. Stop/starting accelerating for say off road use will take its toll a lot more than road riding where amps tend to settle down much quicker.
