Big Rock Lipos capacity

[Rawadsalti]

Folks! A quick Q
Min requirement for my Big rock is 5000mah 35.
Can You work on a 6000mah 30C for instance, they both deliver the same current of around 180amps

In theory you should be able to. It depends on the brand but being as how most C rates are heavily inflated I personally wouldn't risk it.

good question, I'd have to go with maybe. I have higher C ratings on mine (similar between them) but it's all different between manufacturers. the higher amp battery I have definitely gets less warm with a similar C. I suspect yours will be getting on the warm side but I'd try it and keep checking it. Whats the worst that could happen?

C rate is simply potential to supply current. Your electronics control how that current is tapped. Extra capacity (amp-hours) is extra runtime, no extra stress implied. There are some discussion rabbitholes that go with the subject, but said straight, you'll be good to go on those batts.
