Anyway, I don't know really anything about the battery choices. 3C? 4C? 3000mah? 5000mah? 11.6v? 7.4v?
mah = run time.
3C-4C = charge rate. example, Take a 5000mah pack x 3C = 15 amps. 5000mah pack x 4C = 20 amps charge rate. Take the mah x it's "C" rating and thats what you can charge it at.
It's the mah x charge amps. A 1C 5000mah pack you can only charge at 5 amps total.
25-30-40-45-50-55-60C is the packs discharge rate.
11.6 volts is a 3's lipo not charged, fully charged it's 12.6 V.
7.4 = a 2's= 8.4 fully charged.
