Thanks for mentioning this, I've been shopping for a better charger, and this is the kinda stuff I need to know, and knowing is half the battle... (the other half is just plain malarky! j/k, idk what the other half is, maybe it's just getting better cheetos!)
Also, I pre-ordered my Tekno kit from Amain, and since it's a single pack, I'm going to run a 6s battery, with a lower kv motor. Sooo, I'll grab another RX8 and a 1300/1400 kv motor.
Boy... the 6S batteries sure are expensive!!! heck, even the 4S batteries...
I found this ThunderPower 6S at Amain, for $225. I could buy 6 2S packs for that price... oh well!

So which is better, higher mAH rating, or higher C rating (discharge), or doesn't matter?
The 5000 mAH packs are pricier, closer to the $200 range, compared to 3000 mAH, same with C rating from 25c to 65C.
How long (not run time) in days/weeks/months, can I get away with having just 1 6S battery pack?
