What does 30 C mean on a LiPo battery?
The C rating for a LiPo battery, quite simply, refers to the capacity of energy the battery can safely discharge, represented as a multiple of its overall capacity. There are battery packs out there rated at 30C, 45C, and even 70C that will deliver (in our 2000mAh example) 60, 90, and 140 amps.
How do you charge a 30C LiPo?
Charging your battery
- Connect your Battery’s T-Connector to the T-connector-to-Banana-Plug Cable.
- Connect the Balance Connector to the 3 Cell port in the LiPo Charger.
- Plug your 12v 5A power supply into the Balance Charger using a 2.1/5.5mm Jack to 2.5/5.5mm Plug Adapter.
- Press the Batt.
- Press the Inc.
What does 80C mean on LiPo battery?
For example, a 1300mAh 80C battery can theoretically provide 1.3Ah * 80C = 104A. This means that both the capacity of the battery, and the C-rating contribute to the maximum current a battery can draw in continuous supply.
Is a higher C rating better?
The C rating of a pack is a multiplier used to determine the maximum continuous discharge current of the battery. A higher C rating tells us that the battery is able to provide higher current output performance.
What LiPo C rating do I need?
The safest charge rate for most LiPo batteries is 1C, or 1 x capacity of battery in Amps.
Are traxxas Lipos good?
LiPos are the clear winner here; their chemistry allows them to run around 33% longer than a NiMH with the same capacity, and they are largely available in higher standard capacities than NiMHs. LiPos are also lighter than their NiMH counterparts, and that adds to their efficiency factor as well.
Is it OK to leave a LiPo battery charge overnight?
Never overcharge a LiPo battery. Never leave your LiPo batteries sitting around on a full charge for more than 2-3 days. If by the 3rd day you realize you are not going to use your battery today, you need to discharge your battery down to 3.6v-3.8v per cell for safe storage until you are ready to use the battery again.
What’s better 2S or 3S LiPo?
On a 2S LiPo battery, that motor will spin around 25,900 RPM. On a 3S, it will spin a whopping 38,850 RPM. So the more voltage you have, the faster you’re going to go.
