Battery C-Rate Explained: Why It Limits System Design
1. C-Rate Is a System Constraint
C-rate defines how fast energy can be moved safely.
2. Impact on Power Electronics
High C-rate demands:
-
Higher PCS current capacity
-
Better thermal management
-
Stronger protection coordination
3. Engineering Trade-Offs
Designing for extreme C-rates increases cost and stress without always improving ROI.
IMAX Power designs energy storage solutions aligned with realistic C-rate requirements, not peak claims.

4. Conclusion
C-rate should be engineered, not maximized.
