Determine the C-rate of a battery charge or discharge current relative to its capacity. Critical for understanding Li-Ion battery performance and safety limits.
C-Rate is a measure of the rate at which a battery is discharged relative to its maximum capacity. 1C discharges the battery in 1 hour, 2C in 30 minutes.
High-performance applications require high C-rate batteries (e.g., 50C) to deliver massive bursts of power without voltage sag.
1C = 1 hour discharge.
