Tattu R-line battery review: 95C, more punch for your drone
Frankly, being my first Li-Po review, I didn't know how to start it. I took the Tattu R-line 4s 1300 mAh battery in my hand several times hoping for inspiration. Nothing, it was like holding a banal brick. Then, I realized that without the Li-Po technology drones could have not evolved this fast. The biggest advantage of lithium polymer...

Pro battery for FIMI X8 MINI: Finally under 250g
The FIMI MINI is advertised with two types of batteries, but everyone believed that the Pro LIPO pack is just a myth. FirstQuadcopter is between the first drone blogs that test and review the FIMI X8 MINI Pro battery. We will also compare the performance of the Standard versus the Pro battery pack, of course.
FIMI advertises the X8 MINI...
2s vs 3s LiPo battery: Which one is better for mini FPV drones?
Last week, I received two Li-Po batteries for review from Gens Ace. The Tattu 2s 800 mAh and Tattu 3s 450 mAh. Firstly, I thought about making an individual test of each battery, but later I found it more helpful to make a side-by-side comparison of them.
Both Li-Po batteries suit micro-class FPV drones like the Blade Torrent 110 and...
ManiaX Power 4S FPV LiPo review
Before we get into details in our ManiaX Power FPV LIPO review, let's talk about some general things you should consider before purchasing a drone battery.
When choosing a drone LiPo, the first things to look at are cell count, capacity, and C-rating. Cell count (xS) is how many cells are connected in series inside the pack. Each cell has...
Tattu 100C HV LiPo: Extra boost for your racing drone
When I review niche products like this Tattu R-Line 4s HV LiPo battery, it is very hard to find an exciting introduction. I already rewrote the first sentence three times and still didn't find something satisfying...
In nutshell, LiHV batteries are like nitro for racing cars. While standard LiPo packs can be charged with up to 4.2V/cell, the Tattu R-Line HV LiPo allows you...
CNHL LI-ION 4S 3200mAh: For Long-Range and not-so!
Initially, LI-ION battery packs for long-range drones were homemade by hobbyists. They connected 4 or 6 cells serially to achieve the desired voltage. Sony VTC6 18650 batteries were used the most due to their excellent reliability. Panasonic and Samsung LI-ION proved to perform well also. In this review, we will have a closer look at the CNHL LI-ION 4S...

CNHL 4S 2000mAh & 6S 1500mAh: Long-range FPV LIPOs
For long-range FPV flights, you will need much higher capacity batteries than for freestyling and racing. Commonly, 5" LR FPV drones run on 4S or 6S batteries. You must choose the right battery according to your motor's KV ratings. For example, the CNHL 4S 2000mAh is an excellent option for 2000-3000KV, and the CNHL 6S 1500mAh for 1600-1900kV. The...
