C ratings indicate discharge/charge rates. A 2000mah pack with a 10C continuous discharge rate would equate to a 20A maximum discharge rate (2000mah * 10C = 20,000mA). Also keep in mind that these limits are often overestimated, and lithium batteries have a wonderful tendency to blow up if discharged too quickly. The C rating you need depends on how much current your equipment draws.
