LiPO Batteries

  • What does 20C or 15C mean?
    C = Capacity / 1000. The “C” rating of a lithium polymer battery denotes how much current you can draw out of a pack at a continuous rate.

    Example: 1000mah 20C Pack.  1000/1000 = 1,           1 x 20 = 20 Amps
                       1500mah 25C Battery     1500/1000 = 1.5,         1.5 x 25 = 37.5 Amps


  • What rate do I charge my LiPO Battery?
    With any lithium pack you never want to exceed 1C. C = Capacity/1000

    Example:  5000mah/1000 = 5 amp charge rate
               2500mah/1000 = 2.5 amp charge rate
