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...

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.
