Without making the example too complex, it is the instantaneous peaks which get you in trouble. You could have your average power consumption approach 2C (totally discharged in two hours) and be just fine, that is the specified maximum for discharging something like a standard 18650 lithium cell. It is the surge that is going to cause an unacceptable voltage drop.
