Originally posted by Erictator Yeah, I get that, and clock cycles are usually controlled by multipliers w/regards to voltage...but the K-1 is also made up of a bunch of motors and actuators. Like replacing a 400amp battery on your 4cyl toyota with a 800 amp battery. The 800amp battery will spin it like a top.
I fly model airplanes, and this site comes to mind about the relationship with battery C rating and motor performance:

Well... AFAIK electric engines rev up mainly with changes in tension, not in current.
There was discussion on using rechargeable CR-V3 lithium batteries (supposedly voltage-regulated at 3V, actually more like 3.2 to 3.4V) instead of disposable ones on the K100Ds, and the AF motor was indeed snappier... before the battery almost fried the electronics in the camera.

OTOH your will have a greater capacity, but at the same tension, and regarding this matter, I'd like to see firsthand a Chinese battery, or a battery
tout court for that matter, that delivered on its promises... even quality rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries rarely reach their advertised 2300, 2500 mAh.
Edit: in your link there is a yellow box talking about "nominal voltage"... if you've seen at least one discharge plot (Ah or time on X axis, V on Y axis), you'd have noticed that the tension decreases during the discharge, leading to your model engine spinning faster with a full battery, and progressively sluggish as the battery drains (it's not linear however: drops fast at the beginning, holds semi-steady, drops like a rock at the end).
