How do you us the c rating and the mah to calculate amp burst capability?

[TotalPackage]

Can anyone give me a formula from which I can derive how many surge amps a battery can supply?

[Fluid]

"C" rating times amp hours equals maximum safe amp draw.

ex:

5000mah 30c battery= 5x30=150 amps

5000mah 20c battery=5x20=100 amps

ex:

5000mah 30c battery= 5x30=150 amps

5000mah 20c battery=5x20=100 amps

this formula is right....

often though a 20c pack may have a 30c Burst rating... so though a:

5000mah 20c pack has a 100 amp constant rating it may very well have a burst rating of 30c equal to 150 amps...

an example is the rating on a turnigy 30-40c 5000mah... meaning 30c constant and 40c burst... so the turnigy 30-40c 5000's would then of course have a 150amp constant and 20amp burst... well at least thats what they rate them for... :) this was kind of a trick question by the OP...lol...
