Abstract
The static and stationary C-metric are revisited in a generic framework and their interpretations studied in some detail. Specially those with two event horizons, one for the black hole and another for the acceleration. We found that: i) The spacetime of an accelerated static black hole is plagued by either conical singularities or lack of smoothness and compactness of the black hole horizon; ii) By using standard black hole thermodynamics we show that accelerated black holes have higher Hawking temperature than Unruh temperature of the accelerated frame; iii) The usual upper bound on the product of the mass and acceleration parameters ($<1/\sqrt{27}$) is just a coordinate artifact. The main results are extended to accelerated rotating black holes with no significant changes.
