    Hi
    I am getting a pressie (xmas) of a Dragonfly 60 (pro Version ??)by Walkera and it uses a 2200 11.1v 12c li-po pack. I was sent two 2200mAh 11.1v 10C Lithium Polymer Batteries by mistake by an ebay site who have not answered any of my emails.
    So my question is will the 10C batteries work the same as the 12C and what if any are the differences between them.
    Thanks in advance for any insight or help.
    Merry Xmas
    Joe

    The only differnce is the size of the pack. which may be an issue but then again it might not be.
    Also in my head I think the 12 cell would give more play time:D

    But I dont even have an electric yet (christmas pressie) So dont take my word and you should wait for someone with a bit more knolege;)

    10C means it can give 10 x it's capacity in amps.
    The battery received:
    10 x 2200 millamps = 22 Amps

    the battery advertised (?) :
    12 x 2.2A = 26.4 Amps

    So the battery you received supplies 22A but you expected 26 amps
    22/26 = 83% of what you expected.

    17% reduced power, same capacity.
    Bit like the same size fuel tank but with a smaller hose attached to it, and the fuel comes out at a reduced rate.

    Was the one you received cheaper?
