Everything ^ said is also true.You want to go high and there is no such thing as a real C rating.
All the manufacturers lie about their C ratings.
If you saw two on the shelf and one says 25C and the other says 50c. You would go for the 50c thinking it is better....
No one regulates or verifies the numbers so companies are now putting 150c on batteries which isn't even possible.
At any rate it is still better to buy the highest C value battery you can afford.
So how do you exactly know how much “C” you’ll need? I picked up a blx now and been running it with my 2S at the moment but definitely want to step up to 3s. I am seeing that they are usually around 35c. Any thoughts on that or try to go higher??So the issue with the the c rating being too low is because the equipment is drawing more than the battery is capable of providing, so something has to give, for example I have batteries that became puffy when I ran them hard in my k8s with a Max 5 esc and 56113 motor combo, and these where batteries that should have been able to produce that kind of current.
The equipment will only draw what it needs, so having a rating above the limit of the esc is a good thing as it will only ever draw the maximum of the escs capability, if that is below the limit of the batteries acceptable amp draw then that's good. It will mean your battery will be OK for longer and the electronics will have good clean power without any brownouts being sent to it.
