If I'm reading this right, you're saying that the "1C, 15C, etc" rating is in proportion to 1? So 15C = 1/15 (or 1:15) of the battery's capacity? So if the phone isn't pulling the full 1.35mA the battery shuts off?

And, if I'm reading this right, your meaning is the opposite (15C = 15/1 or 15:1)? So these "fabled"
batteries can discharge at 15 times the rate that they can charge?
This rule of thumb is new to me and I'm just wondering which is your meaning because it is a VERY useful rule.
