What is 3C Battery Features, Types, Uses
A high C rate is good for applications where abrupt power bursts are needed, such as power tools and electric vehicles. But a
The two key meanings A 3C battery, in one sense, refers to a specific type of battery used in electronic devices. These batteries, often lithium-based, are designed to provide efficient power for small to medium-sized electronics. The other meaning of “3C” refers to the C-rate, which indicates how fast a battery discharges its power.
A 2000mAh 3C battery can safely deliver up to 6A of current. These batteries are critical for high-power devices like drones, RC cars, and power tools, balancing energy density and performance.
A C battery could have different C ratings depending on chemistry and design. The 3C rating focuses on current delivery speed relative to capacity, critical for applications needing bursts of power. Thus, a large C battery might be rated differently in C rate compared to a smaller but high-rate battery.
3C-5C: Suitable for high-drain devices like drones or power tools. 10C and beyond: Used in high-performance applications like racing drones or industrial machinery. What is a High-Rate Discharge Battery?
