1) The maximum amps the battery can deliver is calculated by multiplying the capacity times the C rating. For example: A 2.2Ah battery with a 30C rating will be able to deliver 2.2*30 = 66 Amps A 3000mAh(=3.0Ah) battery with a 50C rating will be able to deliver 3.0*50 = 150 Amps.
2) The amount of amps the system will use depends on your choice of motor and ESC, the amount of amps the motor will use is usually listed in the specs of the motor
I agree with you Shunra1, i only add this:
if you use a 2.2Ah and your consumption is 2.2Ah it will have a duration of 1 hrs, theorically because you can´*t leave at 0 the bat. if your consumption is 2.2Ah*30c your bat has a duration of 1/30 hrs.
Tested at 60 burst 100 for ten seconds. For 160 the 6mm sprung gold connectors would be perfect. Definitely not for monster quads with 50A per motor or more.
To complete:
Buy your choice of XT60, WS Deans, or Banana (lol please dont use banana!) pigtails and female 4mm x 2. Get out the solder gun and enjoy the tidy setup.
Cheers.
Leave the battery:) Only by soldering everything you will be 100% sure your connection will not brake, or get loose from vibration. And you will save weight, that is 5 sets of connectors per motor
am not agree with that , if you use lots of esc like my x8 i need 8 esc and if you need to repair your machine of a faulty esc or just tune the esc you can remove fast and fix the problem also i have no lose because i use piece of shrink to secure the connector and it take only fews second to removed if needed
4mm is used because it will supply 4 ESC, however, you can very safely use 3.5mm connectors feeding each esc as it is 1/4 of the current being fed through the 4mm connector.
spitfire2010, I was referring to what 3w flyer wrote. "why from 4 x 3,5 to 4mm just go from 4x4mm to 1x4mm"
The problem is that if he needs 4x4mm to go to the 4 ESCs, his current (Amp) load is probably too high to be fed into the one male 4mm connector. An analogy would be if you were installing a sub electrical breaker panel to your home's main breaker box and the sub box had four 15 Amp circuits, you wouldn't connect the sub box to the main box with 14 gauge wire, you'd use 10 or 8 gauge wire.
"If i always have to switch connectors like HK does, the fun will be gone soon."
Take heart little buddy, the fun is in flying. Don't let a few connectors get you down.
I would use these ANY TIME in my Quadro's. Up until now I made them myself, but these or nice, And I believe these can handdle the current without a problem !For this price you can't can't heat up your Iron en solder them yourself
