For a 500mAh battery: “1C” = 500mA or 0.5 amps
For a 1300mAh battery: “1C” = 1300mA or 1.3 amps
“2C” = 1000mA or 1.0 amps (500x2)
“2C” = 2600mA or 2.6 amps (1300x2)
“C/5” = 100mA or 0.1 amps (500÷5)
“4C” = 5200mA or 5.2 amps (1300x4)
“C” equals the capacity rating of a battery as printed on it’s label.
