● What is “C” rating? It is a factory term for the discharge rate a cell can supply. 10c means 10 times the capacity, so a 10c 2200mah battery would have a discharge rate of 22 amps maximum continuous.
● When we say “burst ratings” we mean the short term amp draw under high load, usually 3-5 seconds run time, so a 2200mah battery with a burst rating of 30c can theoretically handle a 66 amp load for a short period. Recovery should be 30-60 seconds depending on the quality of the battery.
● Please be aware, other sellers claims of 20c, 25c, 35c continuous and up to 60c bursts are quoted straight from the factory as the absolute maximum a new cell will perform at, this will usually result in a shortened lifespan unless the cell has a very low resistance and premium materials in the construction along with high QC during testing and assembly.
We run our ELITE 2500mah packs at 55-60 amps in many of our small EDF models, the packs can take 20c+ discharge rates for an extended period of time and do not exhibit the cycle life loss and capacity loss of the cheaper Ebay/Hong Kong batteries.
With the fast advances in Lipo technology even the cheap packs put out far more power than many of the premium brands did 2 yrs ago, but be aware these cheap batteries are cheap for a reason, they are grade 2 cells, lower quality materials and much less QC when being tested and assembled into packs. They do not last as long as the premium grade cells and will not tolerate abuse with continuous high C discharge rates.
The cheap cells are great for small parkflyers, low current draw setups where the batteries are not being pushed, but the low cycle life still makes them no less costly than a premium cell in the end. The one advantage is if you crash a lot! J Cheap packs with 20 flights that get bent are going to be less painful than premium packs that get bent! Of course one would aim not to crash a model this regularly!
● Balance leads: Our packs all come with Polyquest/Hyperion style plug which will match many of the popular balancers and chargers on the market and will mean customers with Polyquest, Hyperion, PolyRC, PolyPro or similar packs will not have to change leads around when charging different packs.
20c RATED PACKS: We recommend keeping your maximum static amp draw to 18c for prop driven planes and 17c for EDF planes. Burst amps of 25c maximum should be observed for increased lifespan (Dependant on ventilation and cooling of the pack during flight).
25c RATED PACKS: We recommend keeping your maximum static amp draw to 22c for prop driven planes and 20c for EDF planes. Burst amps of 30c maximum should be observed for increased lifespan (Dependant on ventilation and cooling of the pack during flight).
35c RATED PACKS: We recommend keeping your maximum static amp draw to 30c for prop driven planes and 28c for EDF planes. Burst amps of 45c maximum should be observed for increased lifespan (Dependant on ventilation and cooling of the pack during flight).
Fact is our batteries will operate at their rated specs no problem, but who wants to fly for 2 minutes or so by drawing 30c current levels?!
