| C = Current or Capacity, If a 1000mah battery can do 20C it can do 1000mah (1ah) x 20 = 20amp.
Unfortunally C Rating is often "upped" by the selling company since C rating sell.
Even if you dont need a certain C for your application, its always (in our heli world) better to have the best batteries because they can hold higher voltage under load, which will result in less bogging.
Burst is the rating where the battery can withstand for a short time, but if you do it for long you will damage the pack.
Your good pack will hold a higher voltage under load then your bad pack, My really good packs holding > 3.5v when I hit peaks to their their rated C.
My bad packs drop to 3.2v in the same type of load.
Really bad packs hit 3.0v and often your ESC will then cut out. |
