45c or 65c differences

[icemanxo]

On lipo battery's is there a major difference between 45c and 65c

It depends. Just because the label says 65C does not mean the cells actually deliver. For example I have two 5000 mAh packs from two different high-end makers, and one has 0.25 volts higher voltage drop per cell at 200 amps than the other does. That means that both packs are NOT 65C. The difference can be even greater with cheap cells. For lower power systems the differences would probably be less.
