HPI Plasma Pro 95C batteries

[AmiSMB]

Just wondering if anyone knows whether the C rating on these is continuous or burst? I am thinking it is probably burst just like the Orion carbon pro but just want clarification on this.

If it is continious, good luck in finding something that can carry 500A+ to go along with it!!!

Alternatively, it could be a number that doesn't mean a lot - along with the majority of them!

Thanks for the reply Matt. I know what you mean about some of the numbers that are around out there but I really like it better when the battery states the continuous and burst capacities rather than marketing then with just the burst rating. My feeling is that although you are never going to be pulling that amount of current out it is better to have a battery that is capable as then in the long run you are not going to be working it as hard. I know that in the eraly days of using lipo packs in my helis I was asking for alot from the packs and as such they do not last long before starting to lose capacity.
