What is "C" Charge/Discharge Rate
The battery “C” Rating is the measurement of current at which a battery is charged
or discharged. “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.
Choose the Right Charge & Discharge Rate
It is not recommended to charge at a rate lower than 0.3C and higher than 1.0C.
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 smaller charging rate can prolong the battery lifespan while
charging time will be longer. A larger charging rate makes charging fast but with
the battery heat-up, which will shorten its lifespan.
It is not recommended to use a discharge rate above 1.0C.
Charge/Discharge Rate Reference
AAA Batteries
Battery Capacity mAh (milliampere/hour) = discharge (milliampere) x discharging
time (hour)
For example, if you insert 2400mAh battery into an appliance which consumes 50
milliampere current continuously, the operating time of the appliance will be
around 48 hours.
