Continuous Current capacity for batteries in parallel.

[Kelt.]

I recently saw a picture of a 6x 18650 in parallel box mod, with a comment that the MAh would be increased (with which I agree) and that the "continuous current capacity" would be in the range of 80A, using Samsung 25r batteries, about which I am unsure.
Can anyone verify or deny this claim, and show me the math?
TIA

The continuous current capacity would be 6x that of a single cell, though I might discount that just a hair until I knew how the cells were interconnected.

The 25R is a 20 amp CDR cell, so you could pull 120 amps continuously from 6 of them in paralell, if you wanted to.

It's rougly 5x current capacity - imbalances in the cells and internal resistances, as well as contact resistances, should taken into account at that level. When parallelling cells, you should only add 50-75% of the constant discharge rate for each battery.
80-90A would be a good estimate CDR
