Thanks for posting! Having said that, when it comes to charge rates, you have to look at the "C" rating of the battery. When it says, "Do not charge with more than 1C.", then you look at the mah of the battery. So if the battery says 5000 mah, you do exactly what you said, take the last two digits away and then put a comma between the two first digits. In this case 5.0. If the battery says 5600 mah, it would be 5.6. Now multiply that with the "C" rating and you have your max charge rating. 5.0 x 1 is 5 Amps. Or 5.6 x 1C is 5.6 Amps. Now, some batteries say 2C,3C or even 5C. So all you have to do is multiply that number with the "mah" number. Example: 5.0 x 5C is 25 amps. So you can charge the battery with 25 amps! The 5600 mah battery can be charge with 28 amps if it has a rating of 5C. Its that simple. : ) EDIT: When it comes to discharging, you kind of do the same. When the battery says 40/80C on it, then you multiply the "mah" number again and get the discharge rating. So 5x40 is 200 amps. So the battery can be discharged continuously with 200 amps. And up to 400 (5x80) for short bursts... Thanks.
