Maximum charge and discharge rate

This is perhaps one of the most crucial parts of the battery. Often the batteries are capable of running the robot for a span of 1 hour. However, the power consumption of robots is not constant. Let's say for 90% of the time, our robotic arm is consuming 2 amperes of power, so the battery capacity is of 2 Ah. However, at some points of time during the operation, the robot needs all the motors to work on peak power. The peak power consumption of the robot is around 6 amperes. Now, the question is, will the battery of 2 Ah be able to provide 6 amperes power to the robot?

This is a very practical challenge. You may say, it is better to go with a battery that is much bigger than a 2 Ah battery. But, as you know, ...
