Helicopter battery current output

Question

Do it yourself

Hello. I decided to buy a new battery for my radio-controlled helicopter. The native battery had a capacity of 800 mAh, 7.4V operating voltage and a discharge current of 10C (i.e. 8A).

Now I have not found anything similar, all batteries with an output voltage of 7.4V have a discharge current of 15-20C or more. I'm wondering if a large discharge current harms the electronics of the helicopter? As far as I understand, a battery with a higher discharge current will give more engine speed at the same position of the thrust handle, but will it discharge faster?

Do not kick hard, in electronics, I, to my shame, am not strong.

Answer 1

It's OK. This is the maximum possible discharge current, the Helicopter will take as much as it needs.

Answer 2

The main thing is to maintain tension. The discharge current must be no less than what all consumers eat from it in any possible modes. And, if the battery is suitable for voltage, the capacity and discharge current are not less, and the dimensions and weight do not interfere, then you can take it. The only thing is that with very different parameters, you may need to charge it differently.
