"C" Rating Lipos?
Some what of a newbie here, only gyro Heli's, been years on an RC Car, Just got a new 450 Heli for Christmas from the wife been practicing on flight simulator, I ordered some extra Batteries, I know that the "C" is for Discharge rate? My new 3D Heli came with a 15C 11.1v 2200mah Lipo is it OK to use a 3S 30C?
Thanks
John

RE: RE:
Just to be clear, its the "discharge rating" not "rate"
Meaning, its how much a battery can put out if asked. You can use a higher rated pack than required without damage (except to your wallet as they are more expensive) but if you run a battery with a rating below what your setup is pulling, then you can damage the battery
Be advised that some manufacturers C ratings are optimistic to the point of fantasy in some cases.
