All I know is that my 5500 mah packs, which are only rated to 15C, should be able to dish out 82 amps continuous. And they gave me more than 12 minutes (I stopped counting) of practice using a mamba max 6900kv setup while remaining nice and cool to the touch. So I'm happy!
Well, last year sometime I bought some cheap nimh stickpacks via ebay, I then needed to make them into saddles, that's when I found out that the individual cells were marked as nicads of a much lower mah rating than advertised.
Now, if lipo sellers are being as creative with their labelling on their cheap lipos for the C rating!! Best stick with the decent makes I think.

Sounds like you've got a decent pack though, what make is it?
