This would be somewhat difficult as current is directly proportional to voltage given the same load resistance. I must assume that the writer is technically illiterate. Actually deliver greater amps?

That is why Multiplier QA people only drop them once and not from the required height. No top, bottom, edge impact. Just a short drop onto the label or logo side. This is done on the first battery that does not twist apart in your hand after ultrasonic welding. This can take a while. If it does not split after one drop they run the whole batch. Never again does Multiplier do the drop test. 500 1,000 or more it does not matter. As long as one passes the 1 meter drop test. As soon as one passes they will start the run and Multiplier will not waste too many batteries trying. If things do not go well they will change the height requirement. If Multiplier were to perform their required drop test, they would not have any product! Multiplier cannot even pass there own drop test.

We've very happy we found you guys. Your Battery Pricing on REAL Motorola Batteries are fantastic. At first we were unsure whether or not you were selling the real thing. My construction workers are constantly dropping the radios and the true Motorola batteries are the only ones that we found that works for us.
