The quick reply is that in terms of flight instances and motor efficiency, the upper a battery’s C score, the extra doubtless it can make you smile. A 45C pack makes a joke of a 10C pack in terms of energy supply. The C score for a LiPo battery, fairly merely, refers back to the capability of power the battery can safely discharge, represented as a a number of of its general capability. A battery that has a better C score delivers extra power, and which means larger efficiency. The large distinction between batteries with completely different C rankings is the truth that the higher-rated batteries endure much less from voltage drops beneath load. This potential to keep up a better and extra constant voltage is what usually generates the excessive efficiency we get pleasure from. That is notably essential when you could have a number of motors turning a number of rotors.
A 2000mAh pack will safely ship 20 amps repeatedly (10 instances 2000mAh equals 20 amps). A 20C pack of the identical capability will safely assist you to draw 40 amps from it repeatedly. That’s the identical capability and twice the amp draw. There are battery packs on the market rated at 30C, 45C, and even 70C that may ship (in our 2000mAh instance) 60, 90, and 140 amps. This main enhance in present permits us to run larger (or extra) motors in your multirotor for elevated length and/or payload-lifting capabilities. A better C discharge score provides us that further “oomph” we get pleasure from in flight, irrespective of the airframe.
Though a pack with a better C score can usually be charged in much less time as a result of it might tolerate a better present charge, don’t be in a rush; you possibly can at all times cost it at 1C (one instances the capability), which can take about an hour for an entire cost. Doing this has produced the most effective ends in our expertise; we have now some older packs that also function nicely after
tons of of cost and discharge cycles.
