This 21 page pdf paper written from an R/C flight powering perspective
discusses the derivation of formulae for calculating the  Internal
Resistance, Max Current Draw and true C Rating of LiPo batteries.

The maximum discharge ratings are based on claims that LiPo thermal damage
during discharge can be kept to an acceptable level if internal battery
power dissipation is kept below 6 Watts per Ampere-hour of capacity.
While the assumptions behind that blanket figure would need to be examined
on a case by case basis when high discharge and long [tm] life of LiPo
cells is required the figure, and this paper do provide a useful starting
point and possibly as good a one as any available.
(That justifies the "utterly superb" rating, I think :-) ).
