Lipo Capacity Rating

All RC Lipo battery cells need to be rated according to their capacity.  This is then easy to be stored according to their capacity and sold according to the needs of the buyers.  The capacity rating of all cells is calculated in Ampere Hours or milliamp hour.  A 1 AH battery is equal to a 1000 mAh.  Both are meant to supply 1 Amp for 1 hour. 

The C rating is worked out with a principle of calculating the lithium ion batteries’ maximum supply capability, for example a1 Ah, 20C battery will continuously supply 20A without causing any damage.

When calculating the duration of the battery, you need to divide it by the average current drawn, for example a current draw averaging 10A means a 60 Ampere minute battery lasts for 60/10 – 6 minutes.  Simple isn’t it?  It is very user friendly and can be mastered by anyone.

The SI unit standard for electrical charge is 3600 Coulombs equal to an Ampere Hour.  According to the supply of voltage we can calculate the amount of energy that is stored.  This should be equal to the voltage or 3600 Coulombs. 

So, if you consider a 10Ah battery pack, it would deliver 36,000 Coulombs of charge which is equal to 2.2 x 10²³ electrons and 360kj of energy with a nominal voltage of 10 volts.

Not only the features of the battery are so well designed to suit any machine of any types, its capacity ratings too are proportionately measured to suit any condition, or any wear and tear.

Lipo battery advantages can be mounted one over the other while the disadvantages were never there.
