They're usually rated at continuous and, separately, at burst ratings. Running at burst ratings for too long will cause them to overheat.
The cells are 15Ah and rated at 10C continuous and 15C burst. I think it’ll be fine for starting the car. I’m more concerned with charging in cold weather. I’m planning to insulate the pack and mount it in the cabin, but I fear that on the coldest evenings the pack might become too cool to charge
