Ive seen terminology like “C/n” where n is a number. What gives?
This is a method of expressing current as a fraction of the Ah rating of a cell. Simply, a 100 mA current means much more to a small N cell than to a large D cell. So, rather than use absolute units of amperes, cell manufacturers often use fractions of cell capacity, or C. A typical good AA cell has a capacity of 700 mAh, so C = 700 mA. A current of C/10 is therefore 70 mA, while C/2 is 350 mA.
