does trakpower 4900 lipo fits to mi3? they are now 25c what are the advantages of extra 5c over 20c lipo packs ?
what lipo balancer you guys recommend me
sorry for too many questions
Most packs' capacities are given in milliamp hours (mAh). You must convert this amp hour (ah) by dividing by 1,000 and then multiplying by the discharge C rating (if its 15C multiply it by 1.5 if its 20C then x 2 and so on)to get the battery discharge rate. For example, a 20C 4900mAh Li-poly can discharge at 9.8Ah, or 98amps. If its 25C the discharge rate is 12.25Ah or 122.5amps. More Amps = more consistent run and overall power. Pls. do check on Mr. Shawn Palmer he will give you a more detailed explanation.

Just dont forget everything goes down to quality of the packs and not just by numbers written on the labels. Ive seen Core lipos perform toe to toe w/other lipos and I'm impress.
