❓ What are C-ratings in drone batteries and why do they matter?

C-rating indicates a battery's maximum continuous discharge rate. The formula is: Maximum Current = Capacity (in Ah) × C-rating.

For example, a 2000mAh (2Ah) battery with a 30C rating can deliver: 2 × 30 = 60 amps continuously.

Typical C-ratings for different drone types:

  • Photography drones: 15-30C
  • Racing drones: 75-150C
  • Professional cinematography: 25-45C

Higher C-ratings allow for more powerful acceleration and better performance under load, but may reduce battery life. Choose based on your drone's power requirements and intended use.
