if you are using more racing/ competition, then you go for the discharge current# than the capacity.

nowadays, a regular pack, is usually 7.4v 30c 5000mah, for racing, we usually use 7.4v 80c and 7400 mah.

thanks, mr. alcheng, and thanks to the team for posting my question to mr.alcheng's thread!

this is just for leisure, so the 7.4v 30c 5000mah should do the trick for me.
i read most can only 75-100 cycles per life. is that correct? that's very short lifecycle compared to nicd's where i've cyclc'ed them literally hundreds of times already. i wonder if ORCA has a longer lifespan..
