Factory C Rate

C Rate

Ideal C Rate

What do all these mean?

deanR

im kind of new to lipos but i think C is the distcharge rate. like the higher the C rating the more power you can get out of the battery
some one correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure

-JOE-

thats what I'm thinkin too

deanR

yea i read it somewhere on here

Mr. Mugen

exactly. If you have a 2000mah battery and it is rated at 20C then it means it can dump (2000mah=2.0amp) 2.0amp X's 20=40Amp

where did you see these? whats the difference between the 'factory' and 'ideal' c rate...

Mdubz

Those different C rates could be something like constant and burst rates?

So this http://www.commonsenserc.com/product...products_id=61

this would be 16 amps?

-JOE-

how do you calculate niMh and NiCad batteries?

carmatic1

nimh and nicad are different types of batteries, theres nothing to calculate between them.....

These terms should all be defined by whoever is using them.

To calculate the C rating for any type of batt multiply it by the number that it is listed with.

Ok, can you help me out on what the specs of this setup will be.

There are no specs on the cell other than capacity at 2000 mah

They are graphing it at 20 amps here http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/cel...nvid=ELITE2000

ps (that would be a 10C discharge rate)

Remember those cells won't work.

Too big.
