Seriously Kos-Mos. Use the brain!

Now for what I wrote I meant it. Get a low C-rate battery if you're going for 11.1v lipos. Maybe 10-12C max. It will not explode. I can't believe that people really believe this sh*t. A battery will only provide as much amperage as it can provide. This is exactly the same as it is for conventional batteries aka. ni-cd and ni-mh. The AEG was designed with this in mind to begin with, and stock it's not always supposed to run as fast as some motors can go. Of course the motor will try to pull as much as it "desires," but will also run on less than that. This is why using a lower specced battery will also work.

Why get a low C-rate battery again? So he won't destroy his internals due to crazy high ROF. That's why I say, get a low C-rate if you decide to go for a 11.1v lipo, but preferably stay away from it and get 7.4v instead.

I never said that current was controlled by discharge rate. I said that current combined with discharge rate dictate ROF, which again means excessive wear on internals that's not necessarily built for it. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to achieve, but your flaming of my posts is getting tiresome.

And please spare us all that cut'n paste from wiki. I don't think that many are interested in what happens inside the battery, as long as it successfully powers their AEG.

A high C-rate 7.4v lipo is really closer to, or even provides a higher ROF than a 9.6v conventional battery.
