I believe people in the LiPo business consider "C" rating a marketing term, and pretty much a joke. It appears to be arbitrarily measured across manufacturers. It's too bad consumers focus on this number at all, because it's really not comparable between brands.

I suppose R/C could adopt its own testing standard to judge cells based on how they will meet the needs of our hobby. But thus far, all the companies have been throwing around their possibly meaningless C rating.

So, where's that Tekin LiPo? You guys dropped a hint that you went with a very high-quality cell. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a certain Korean company that even Kokam is afraid of. :-)
