Let's discover more thoughts in our review.
In a nutshell, high-voltage batteries are...
Tattu LIPO review: R-Line, FunFly and GensTattu
I published my first Tattu battery review in October 2017. Since then, I have had the opportunity to test more of their products. This time we will have a closer look at 3 of their packs, a GensTattu 4S/2300mAh 45C, FunFly 3S/1300mAh 100C, and an R-Line 4S/850mAh 95C one.
Tattu LIPOs are very popular among FPV pilots due to their...
Fullsend 6S 6000mAh Li-Ion: Holy Grail of long range FPV
Lithium-ion or Li-ion batteries generally have a higher energy density than other battery chemistries, including LiPo. This means that Li-ion packs can store more energy in the same physical size, allowing longer flight times and increased range. For example, by comparison, the iFlight Fullsend 6S 6000mAh weighs just 608 grams, and a LIPO battery with the same power weighs...
Tattu FunFly LiPo review: Perfect for daily practice
GensTattu recently launched a new product line, called "FunFly". Unlike the "R-Line", it is available only in 4S version and with two capacities. Both, FunFly 1300mAh and FunFly 1550mAh are 100C rated. In the past, we already reviewed couple of Tattu LiPos, including the R-Line HV 1550mAh 100C and now it's time to have a closer look on the new Fun Fly...
Bonka 6S 6000mAh review: Long-range FPV with no compromise!
While many experts recommend using LIION packs for long-range flights due to their high energy density, after testing several packs, I found out that they lack performance, featuring only a 10-30C discharge rate. Instead, the Bonka 6S 6000mAh LiPO has 120C discharging, providing enough power for the most challenging flight movements.
Bonka's U2 FPV series includes capacities from 300 to...
BetaFPV 450mAh 2S LIPO for Pavo Pico and other CineWhoops
Micro CineWhoops, like the Pavo Pico, have gained immense popularity due to their small size, agility, and ability to navigate tight spaces while recording 4K footage. Choosing the right LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery for your drone is crucial for achieving optimal flight performance and duration. This review will look closer at the BetaFPV 450mAh 2S LIPO pack.
When choosing the...
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...
Hubsan Zino 2 battery: 15.2V/3800mA LIPO for $76.58
Hubsan recently launched its latest GPS-enabled 4K drone, the Zino 2. Compared to its predecessors (H117s and Zino Pro), it has longer flight time, extended range, and a better camera. While the older ZINOs is powered by 3S LIPO packs, the new second-generation Zino2 works with 4S batteries.
The advertised battery life of the Hubsan Zino 2 is a maximum...
Tattu 4s 1800mah 75C LiPo: Extra flight time for FPV drones
Today we’re going to find out how long it takes to charge the Tattu 4s 1800mah 75c and what the real world flight time is, in comparison to 1300 mAh batteries which are more common for racing drones.
When it comes to racing quadcopters, flight time is not as important as it is in the case of cruising drones. More...
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...
