C = discharge rate.
example :
2000mah battery rated at 15C (given constant discharge)
to know the maximun amp you can draw from your battery,
2000mah x 15C / 1000 (1000ma = 1amp) = 30amps max draw
know your motor's amp draw to know what battery to buy.
if your motor has an amp draw of less than 30amps, ur safe on a 15c with 2000mah capacity. If it goes above 30amps then get a battery with a higher c rating or capacity.
ex: an eg1000 will draw 20amps cranking an m120 spring.
