First thing, using a larger ESC than necessary will not harm the motor. It will cost more, and weigh more, but will probably run cooler and may also have a larger BEC in it (the Battery Eliminator Circuit, which supplies 5v for your receiver). Obviously, you have to get a brushless ESC for a brushless motor, or a brushed ESC for a brushed motor

Take your ESC into consideration when considering the LiPo battery/brushless motor pairing. Your ESC should match the battery voltage, for example, a 3-cell battery with 11.1V can be paired with a 12V ESC. The Amp rating is the most important factor to remember here. Your ESC should have a threshold amp rating of about 10% more than the burst

You don''t need a special brand of battery, just matching connections. Changing connectors is a relatively easy soldering job. If you have a local hobby store, they may even be willing to change connectors for you. What you need to be sure of, is if the ESC can handle the amps going to the motor, from the battery. If the motor requires more than the ESC is rated for, the ESC will burn

And the Battery has a C rating that determines the max current it is rated for. I = C*Battery mAh, I should be higher than the max Motor Current. To make it more clear: Motor max = 30A Esc max = 60A Battery max= 50A The max current from the battery going through the ESC to the motor will always be 30A no matter how big the ESC or Battery is.

I have a 2s 850mah 35C LiPo battery which I''m hooking up to a 30A ESC and a 2200KV motor (the sticker says A2212/6T as well) ((I got these from one of those cheap amazon motor + ESC + servos bundles)).

Next I ask, Well, if the motor can draw that much and the ESC can allow 80amps more, I need a battery that can deliver at least 200amps more than the ESC can deliver. If you run budget packs on a motor/ESC combo that will struggle to deliver what the motor wants, you can do one or all of these three things.

Motor drivers are complicated, but the long and short of it is; an 80 amp ESC, even if outputting 80 amps to the motor, may not be drawing 80a from the battery.

You then need an ESC which is rated for at least as many volts as you plan to use, and preferably about 20% more amps than the motor is rated for. The battery also has to be big enough to supply the amps that the motor will want, and you can get a fair idea of that by dividing its mAh capacity by 1000, and then multiplying it by the C rating.

A simple rule is to choose an ESC with atleast 5A more capacity than the peak rating of the motor, since you may be powering servos, receiver and other accessories from the ESC.
1.Battery voltages should not be higher than the maximum voltage that ESC can suffer. 2.Continuously output of battery's current need to be bigger than the ESC's. Working voltage of the motor is decided by the ESC, whilst the voltage of ESC is decided by the output of batteries.
The ESC can be selected based on the voltage and the peak current rating of the motor. A simple rule is to choose an ESC with atleast 5A more capacity than the peak rating of the motor, since you may be powering servos, receiver and other accessories from the ESC. Remember to always round up.
With good cooling Your motor should be able to handle ~15A continuous or 30A peak, which on 11.1V is achieved with a 5-6 inch propeller (test data here). Since your ESC is rated at 30A it should be safe so long as you don't overload the motor. The Motor specs should give you most of the information you need.
Working voltage of the motor is decided by the ESC, whilst the voltage of ESC is decided by the output of batteries. Hence the total voltage of batteries must be equal or less than the maximum voltage of motor. Maximum voltage of ESC should not be higher than what the motor can suffer. Current in ESC is larger than motor.
If your quad only draws what you believe it will draw, then your battery should be fine!
