60C really?

[nitrostarter]

Herein lies my issue with this new rating system MA is using. Nothing but Rookie problems and misunderstanding.

This is a quote from another forum, I have NOT altered it in anyway.

Hey, I've been looking into the lipo batteries at hobbycity and maxamps and I'm not sure what to get. I could spend $200 and get a maxamps waterproof lipo or get a rhino pack for around $30. Whatever I get I want it to fit in my rustler vxl's battery tray with no mods, because I don't want it weakened. Maxamps says there lipos are 60c but the rhino is only 30c here's the link to both of them.

I know the rhino is only 2250 mah but I want it to fit so had to go with a low mah.Do you guys think the rhino battery would hold up pretty good or not and if it has a lot of power or not? Also how much run time do you think it would give me?
Thanks

My issue here it that these kids are going to the 60C BURST rating here and think its the same as the 30C CONTINUOUS rating. The proof is in the pudding on this claim. And I'm sure this isn't the only guy I have noticed.

Honestly, changing the rating system sounds like a ploy to take advantage of the misinformed. They see the "60C" rating printed on the pack and think this is one hell of a pack if rated at 60C, think of it as a continuous rating of course. Just seems like another advertising plot thats going to mislead people into misunderstood buying. Sure they can read the specs underneath, but do you really think most truly understand what they mean. They see the 60C printed on the label and think thats a wrap.

Any comments? Questions Concerns?

Honestly , I took it the same way. Many of the batts say 60C burst, The ones we are talking about testing say 60 and 70C. The current is there as well. Then many of the batts list the "constant" and "sustained" and "burst"

I'm guessing it is an oversight (mistake) since a similar pack shows this

25C Constant(105 amps)
35C Sustained(147 amps)
60C Burst(252 amps)

I'm also guessing that a fair current on the "70C" packs would be around 30-35C , but am willing to pull them at whichever current Austin feels is safe. Get the info right from the "man" so to speak.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Most noobs to lipo read the new rating system and have not a clues to what it means. All they see is the 60C in MA's advertising and on the label.
