The current flowing through the battery is represented by the letter "C".
By multiplying the "C" value by the battery's capacity, measured in mAh, we can calculate the maximum continuous current that the battery can supply for one hour.
For example, if a battery has a capacity of 2200mAh, a voltage of 11.1V, and a rating of 30C, dividing 2200mAh by 1000 gives us 2.2Ah. Multiplying this by 30 gives us 66A, which is the maximum theoretical current output based on the load applied. The actual current output is affected by factors such as the battery's internal resistance (converted to heat) and the resistance from the external wires and connector connected to the battery terminals.
Discharge Current = 2.2Ah(2200mah) x 30C = 66A
HAPPY FLYING!
