Yeah 64C is a bit over kill. We have been using at jDrones now almost 2 years 30-35C batteries and they have performed well on all conditions. Earlier we had some 20C but those started to die rather fast so it's nice to have some extra juice coming out from batteries. Over 40C is waste of money on all normal multicopters.
65c means it will kick out constantly 65X the batteries capacity. In this case 65* 2.25 amps. So that battery will kick out nearly 150 amps all day long. My ardu quad with standard jdrone motors hovers at less than 20 amps, and never peaks above 30. But it is very light. I think the 65c is overkill, but you could probably also use it to help turn over the family car in cold weather ;)
