Here’s a less expensive way to get a higher discharge rate.

Summary

The higher the capacity, the higher the apparent C rating:

• 1*1000 mAh pack 3S with a 20C rating = 1000 mAh, 20 amp max, 100 g = $10
• 1*1000 mAh pack 3S with a 40C rating = 1000 mAh, 40 amp max, 100 g = $15
• 2*1000 mAh pack 3S with a 20C rating = 2000 mAh, 40 amp max, 200 g = $20
