Can this ECS handle this battery?

[Barilux]

Hello ECX community,

I have a small doubt and wanted to be sure. I have a torment BL version, that came with this ESC:

Will I have problems connecting this battery with it?

I know it is compatible, but is there a thing such as a too high discharge rate? From what I have been reading this battery can withdraw around 250A, is that correct? 5,2A X 50 is math im doing. Is that too much, or the ESC will controll the amount of current withdraw? Will I experiment higher heat from a higher discharge rate battery, or that is not related.

Btw: this is the motor : http://www.dynamiterc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=DYN4942C

Thanks

I already know that the conectors dont match, but that will be solved.

As long as your motor does not have the capability to draw more than the ESC can provide, you will be fine. It's not uncommon to use a battery that has a higher discharge rate than the system can use.

Higher discharge rating on the battery means nothing to the esc so long as your not creating a bottleneck effect. What I mean by this is if the esc wants a steady 100a rate and your battery is only capable of 50a discharge you my create a situation where one or the other will over heat due to the resistance created by the battery. Granted this is an extreme example... a good rule of thumb is to all ways buy a battery with the highest c rating you can afford.
