I'm not sure, but mine are usually a 20c.
If that is the type of battery you are using to power a tank or car. 20c is not enough. That type of battery would be used to power electronics on an nitro power heli as an example.
So go for a 30-35c and above. The burst charge of 20c is not enough with 2 motors on it. so it ends up cooking the battery over time.
hope this helps as to why yours don't last too long.
You do realize that 20C burst rate on a 2200mah battery is 44amps?
