"C" rating is the "discharge rate" the amount of power given during discharge. Higher the rating better power throughout its discharge. So a higher "c"rating is generally a good thing. Something 25c and higher.

What he said... c actually stands for capacity... so you take your lipo capacity say its 2000 mah, or 2 amp hours, and multiply it by your c rating say its 25c. you get the max amp draw of the battery, in this case 50 amps.
