3s-s stands for series, its how many cells are in the pack in series. 3s means there is 3 cells at 3.7V each, for a 11.1V pack.

30C-C stands for capacity. This means 30 times your batteries capacity. Its a 1300mah pack, so 1300mah=1.3ah--30x1.3=39amps this is the maximum continuous current that the battery can give without damage.

There needs to be a battery FAQ on this site (if there isn't already), especially with lots of LiPo info.
