The C-rate of a battery expresses its current as a multiple of

  • A.its maximum permissible current
  • B.the current at which it self discharges
  • C.its rated capacity in ampere hours
  • D.its rated voltage

Answer: C

Correct answer: its rated capacity in ampere hours

The C-rate normalises current to capacity, so 1C is the current that would discharge the battery in one hour, 0.5C in two hours, and 2C in half an hour. Expressing the current this way makes limits comparable between cells of any size, which is why manufacturers specify maximum charge and discharge rates in C rather than in amperes.
