C is the capacity of the batt.
So when ppl say discharge or charge at 2C, means 2*batt capacity. eg if u have a 1000mAh batt, and supposed to discharge at 1.5c, that means u'll discharge at 1.5A. To charge it at 2C means set charging to 2A.
Hope this helps.

you mean to charge at 1C means to charge at 1amp...

[BonJour Brat]

Yup! thanks

[helirulz]

you mean to charge at 1C means to charge at 1amp...

nonono
this only applies to a battery with 1000 mah
1C mean one time the battery's capacity.
e.g. for a 1700 mah battery...
charge at 1C = 1700 mah X 1=1.7 amps (1700 mah)
charge at 2C = 1700 mah X 2=3.4 amps(3400 mah)
