What is the "C" of a Battery?
Choose the Right Charge & Discharge Rate.
“C” stands for the battery capacity, and the number preceding it is
the fraction of the battery capacity. For example, 0.3C means 0.3
times the capacity for the battery. For a 2400mAh battery, 0.3C
would be 0.3 x 2400mAh = 720mA.
Charge at a rate lower than 0.3C and higher than 1.0C is not
recommended. Charging too slow may affect the charger
termination properly. Charging too fast may cause the battery to
overheat and shorten its lifespan.
Generally speaking, a lower charging rate can prolong the battery
lifespan while charging time will be longer. A higher charging rate
makes charging fast but with the battery heat-up, which will shorten
its lifespan.
Discharge at a rate above 1.0C is not recommended.

BATTERY KNOWLEDGE
What is the Meaning of “mAh” on Rechargeable Batteries?
mAh means milliamp Hour and is a unit that measures (electric)
power over time. It is commonly used to measure the energy
capacity of a battery. In general, the more mAh and the longer the
battery capacity or battery life.
Battery Capacity mAh (milliampere/hour) = discharge (milliampere)
x discharging time (hour)
For example, if you insert a 2400mAh battery into an appliance that
consumes 50 milliampere current continuously, the operating time
will be around 48 hours.
