It's a way of measuring discharge current that's normalized for battery capacity, a 1C discharge rate will fully discharge a battery in 1 hour. It basically measures how much stress a battery is under, as the safe discharge rate of a battery depends heavily on its capacity.
Ugh. Way to go whoever came up with this, using the symbol of a well-established SI unit to mean something completely different. 😥
Yes, an unfortunate choice of symbol.
