Battery

Quick answer: Size a charger by wattage first: a 6S 22.2V pack charged at 5A needs 111W, so a 100W charger cannot deliver 5A. Then pick AC or DC input and channel count: iMars mini is 60W, S100 100W, D300 200W AC with 300W per DC channel, D1000 1000W, and…

Quick answer: HV LiPo charges each cell to 4.35V instead of 4.2V and runs a 3.8V nominal instead of 3.7V, gaining roughly 5-10% energy at the same weight. The benefit is concentrated in 1S-4S micro and FPV packs of 300-850mAh. The trade-off is shorter cycle life, about 150-200 cycles against…

Quick answer: Twelve habits do most of the work: never discharge below 3.0V per cell and land at 3.5-3.7V, charge at 1C, switch to storage mode within 3-4 days, let packs cool 15-30 minutes, balance charge every time, and hold 3.8V per cell at 10-25C when idle. Done consistently this…

Quick answer: Agricultural packs are sized by tank volume and mission length: a 10-40L sprayer flies 10-20 minutes per pack, so mid-size aircraft use 6S 22.2V or 12S 44.4V packs of 16,000-22,000mAh, and large platforms 25,000-40,000mAh at 12S-18S. Spray work needs endurance rather than burst, so agricultural packs are rated…

Quick answer: G-Tech is a smart battery ecosystem: each pack stores its own chemistry, cell count and charge profile, and G-Tech chargers read that automatically instead of asking you to type parameters. The line-up spans iMars mini at 60W up to iMars D1000 at 1000W, plus the TA series from…

Quick answer: R-Line is the competition pack at 95C-160C, with versions from V3 at 120C to V6 at 160C; FunFly is the practice pack at 100C and roughly 20-30% cheaper. Choose R-Line for racing and hard freestyle, FunFly for training and everyday flights, and mixing both across a session is…

Quick answer: Storage voltage is the biggest lifespan lever: hold packs at 3.8V per cell, 3.85V for LiHV, at 10-25C whenever they will sit longer than 3-4 days. Land at 3.5-3.7V under load and never below 3.0V, charge at 1C after a 15-30 minute cool-down, and a quality pack reaches…

Quick answer: A C rating is the multiple of a pack capacity it can deliver continuously: a 1,300mAh pack at 75C gives 97.5A, and 1,550mAh at 100C gives 155A. Racing builds want 100C or more, freestyle 75-95C, industrial multirotors 15-35C. Burst ratings usually last only 2-10 seconds. Introduction If you've…

Quick answer: Semi-solid-state drone packs reach 300-350Wh/kg against roughly 200-250Wh/kg for conventional LiPo, so the same pack weight carries 20-50% more energy: a 30-minute mission becomes 40-45 minutes. Tattu ships 300, 330 and 350Wh/kg classes from 17,000mAh 6S up to 76,000mAh 12S. Introduction The drone industry is on the cusp…

Quick answer: Charge on a non-flammable surface, never unattended, at 1C with the correct chemistry selected. Store at 3.8V per cell, 3.85V for LiHV, at 10-25C. Land at 3.3-3.4V under load and never below 3.0V, and leave a crashed pack untouched for 30 minutes before deciding whether to reuse it.…

Quick answer: For a 5-inch FPV quad in 2026 the default pack is 6S 22.2V at 1,300-1,550mAh with 100C or more; 7-inch builds move to 1,800-2,200mAh. LiPo cells are 3.7V nominal with 4.2V full charge, LiHV 3.8V with 4.35V, and the connector must match the ESC - usually XT60, or…

Quick answer: The three myths are unnecessary full discharges, "higher C is always better", and "all packs are the same". In practice: land at 3.5-3.6V per cell, size C rating to the current you actually pull, and expect 500-1,500 cycles from a quality pack versus 150-300 from a budget one.Your…
