I don't think 4 C and 101 C are referring to temperature. In battery charging/discharging 1 C is the current you would get if you could discharge a fully charged battery in 1 hour at a constant current. If a battery's stated capacity is say 2000 mAh then 1 C for that battery is 2000 mA. Recommended discharge and charge (if applicable) rates are usually specified in terms of C. For example the usual recommendations for charging Panasonic Eneloop batteries is 0.5 - 1 C. So if you are charging an AA which has about 2000 mAh capacity that would be 1000 - 2000 mA, but if you were charging an AAA which has something like 900 mAh capacity that would be 450 - 900 mA. |
