C Rating for the Orion/Peak 4800 Lipos?

[jhautz]

Very possible. I know I'm trying to measure something that the equipment I'm using isn't meant to do. I just timed the run and did divided it by the mah the meter said passed through it. I could have calculated wrong as well I just did it on scratch paper in the field. So you are probably correct that the 60A average is wrong, either by equipment or calculation on my part. Either way. I am sure that it was spiking to 115. I know the meter is at least good for that.

Anyway, the batts I'm using now are not having any heat issues. Just slightly warm to the touch. No where near hot. They are supposed to be 96A constant though. But based On the price I paid, they probably aren't even that good.

So. That brings a question to mind. What is normal (I know... define normal) discharge capability needed for a relatively heavy brushless truck like the ones being built on this site. What would be a safe number for discharge rating on battery. Not in C, but in amps.
