Hi LWS, No, it's not that there is anything esp. capable about the battery type that allows this performance. Rather, it is just another functionality of the cell that must be tested if it is to be used for this application. I suppose that there could have been concern that the cell could exhibit a certain amount of lag for some reason, and that it couldn't allow such a heavy instantaneous current draw. I don't do circuit design, but would guess that it would be more desirable to have the cell be able to provide the power (current) 'on demand' rather than rely on circuitry. To me, just the fact that they provided test data validating the cell's functionality for GSM indicates that the cells are targeted specifically for GSM applications. (Of course they would work for other applications as well.) Regards, Rich
