Default RE: JetCat li-po bat C Rating


ORIGINAL: Kenrico

Hey guys,
I need to replace two stock jetcat Li-Pos used for P80se kero starts. Im thinking on some Thunder power batts but what would be the required C-rating? I bearly get two starts from the stock bat that came with the engines so im needing new ones.
Dreamworks has two on their website: a 3300MaH at 65C that they recommend for Kero Start, and they have a 4300 MaH at at 35c,
If 35C if is enough i would rather get that for the higher MaH and more starts on a charge.

Thanks! In advance!
I tested a Kingtech K170 ...Ok, not jetcat, but simular I guess in terms of power needed. The Kero burner used 35Watt, which on a 2S pack equals about 4Amps. A 1C pack would do just fine... yes I know the starter motor needs some too, but only another 10A tops which makes it 15A in total, so a 3C pack then...
