What does 1C mean ?
Hi all,
I apologize for my ignorance, but can someone explain to me what 1C means, and other #/C? I do not understand when someone states, charge at 1C, and/or discharge at 1C or whatever.
Thank you so much for your time and patience.

RE: What does 1C mean ?
C means "capacity" so 1 "times" "C" is the capacity of the batery
EX: A 2000 mah pack charged at 1C is charged at 2 amps
2c is 4 amps
10c is 20 amps and so on. Multiply the number by the capacity.
