Before I begin, I did search the forum first and I did learn what the "S" and "C" means on a LiPo battery, but am still unclear on a few points, so forgive me if this come across as newbish questions.
So, the "S" with a number preceding it indicates the number of cells wired in series. I get that from a battery standpoint, but what does it mean when seeing it on the box of a model? For example, at my LHS, I see boxes for Aarma 6S Krayton, or Felon or 3S or 4S. Does that indicate the max number of in-series cells that model can accommodate?
The "C" value is a bit more confusing. According to a post on this forum, it refers to capacity, but I thought MaH referred to capacity? Am I missing something obvious here? What's the difference between "C" and "MaH"?
I know the hobby is going electric and as a "nitro head" I need to learn as much as I can as I do want to get one of those Aarma rigs at some point, but I'm struggling to understand all of this. I have three rigs now that are LiPo (Axial SCX24, Losi Lini-B and Kyosho Fazer MK2) that I will, at some point, want to upgrade AND set-up to use my current TX (Spektrum DX3R, who knows, this may be an antique by now) but I am a newbie with all of this. Don't even start with chargers, IR, balance boards and such. My old brain can only take so much at a clip!
If anyone can help explain this in layman's terms, I'd be grateful!
