Li-Po Batteries for RC controlled drones and quadcopters

A lithium polymer battery (commonly knows as LiPo, LIP, Li-poly, and others), is a rechargeable battery of lithium-ion technology using a polymer electrolyte instead of a liquid one. Where weight is a critical feature, Li-Po batteries are an excellent choice.

Most important LiPo battery brands and manufacturers:

  • ChinaHobbyLine (CNHL);
  • Ovonic;
  • Tattu;
  • GensAce;
  • Auline;
  • ZOPBattery;
  • Zippy
  • Giant Battery;
  • InfinityLiPo;
  • Floureon;
  • Turnigy;
  • Nano-Tech;
  • Multistar Racer;
  • Rhino;
  • Dinogy;
  • GaoNeng GNB;
  • Hyperion.

According to the number of cells, you can find 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, and 7s Li-Po batteries. The 3s and 4s are commonly used by racing drone quadcopters.

Note: Li-Po batteries are highly explosive, charge them only with a proper charger!!!

Crazepony 500mAh 2S LIPO review: Brushless Whoop battery

Crazepony 2s 500mAh review
About a month ago I received two pieces of Crazepony 2S/500mAh LiPo packs for review. Unfortunately, due to ESC failure, my FullSpeed TinyLeader was stuck on the ground so I had to wait with the battery performance tests till I repair it. As most Power Whoops are sold without battery, first thing you need to do prior to your flight...

Tattu 100C R-Line HV LiPo Battery review
When I review niche products like this Tattu R-Line 4s HV LiPo battery, it is very hard to find an exciting introduction.

2s vs 3s LiPo battery: Which one is better for mini FPV drones?

GensAce Tattu 2s vs 3s LiPo comparison
Last week, I received two Li-Po batteries for review from Gens Ace. The Tattu 2s 800 mAh and Tattu 3s 450 mAh.

Both Li-Po batteries suit micro-class FPV drones like the Blade Torrent 110 and...

Tattu R-line battery review: 95C, more punch for your drone

Tattu R-Line 4s 1300mAh Li-Po battery review
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...
