Well let's hope the RC industry follows suit. Not saying it's impossible, but unlikely. I will say it would be nice to know exactly what our packs are capable of. Personally I wouldn't buy one brand over another due to a c rating, rather on how it works in my setups. I've ran neu Hyperion thunder power maxamps turnigy Orion and a few others. For the money I will keep running the turnigy packs simply because they are super affordable and work just as well as the rest for me when I race. It will be interesting to see if this small industry adopts regulations on batteries and ratings.

I would say that if a fully charged cell is 4.2 voltsthen a good rating method would be a sustained voltage of 3.5 under load for 3-5 seconds to get an accurate rating.
