How to Choose the Right Lipo Battery for Viper 70mm EDF Jet BNF Basic

The Viper 70mm EDF Jet BNF Basic is an exciting and high-performance remote-controlled aircraft that requires a reliable power source. One popular choice among RC enthusiasts is the Lipo (Lithium Polymer) battery. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of Lipo batteries and discuss their features, benefits, and considerations when choosing one for the Viper 70mm EDF Jet BNF Basic.

The overview of the Viper 70mm EDF Jet BNF Basic

This BNF Basic version model includes a factory-balanced and installed 12-blade 70mm fan, matched to a larger 1900Kv brushless inrunner motor, plus an 85amp Avian Smart Lite ESC that works together with the optimized ducting to deliver an abundance of speed and thrust. With this updated and upgraded power system, the Viper 70mm now has even better vertical performance and approximately 10% more speed than the previous version making it capable of level flight top speeds up to 120+ MPH and nearly unlimited vertical performance with 6S 3200mAh to 4000mAh batteries. It's also equipped with a factoryinstalled Spektrum AR631receiver featuring exclusive AS3X and optional use SAFE Select technologies. When using compatible AirWare equipped transmitters, the receiver and Smart Lite ESC supply overall battery voltage, current draw, motor RPM, and other telemetry data in real-time — with Smart and non-Smart batteries. With a 7–8+ channel transmitter, you can also take advantage of the optional-use thrust reversing to shorten rollouts after landing and for other special ground handling capabilities. It all adds up to deliver a mid-sized, full-house, and high-performance EDF jet experience unlike any other for low time to experienced jet pilots!

The lipo battery for Viper 70mm EDF Jet BNF Basic

The recommendation battery for Viper 70mm EDF Jet BNF Basic is usually 6S 3200–4000mAh 30+C which will deliver excellent performance and flight times.

There are few thing you should know first before choosing the right battery.

1. Voltage and Cell Count: Lipo batteries are available in various configurations, denoted by the number of cells or the voltage. The Viper 70mm EDF Jet typically requires a battery pack with a voltage range of 4S (4 cells) or 6S (6 cells). It is crucial to choose a battery that matches the voltage range specified by the manufacturer to ensure optimal performance.
2. Capacity: The capacity of a battery is measured in milliamp-hours (mAh) and determines how long the battery can power your aircraft. The capacity required for the Viper 70mm EDF Jet may vary depending on your flight style and duration. It's advisable to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the optimal capacity to achieve a balance between flight time and weight.
3. C-rating: The C-rating of a Lipo battery indicates its maximum continuous discharge rate. A high C-rating ensures that the battery can supply power without voltage drops or overheating. For the Viper 70mm EDF Jet, it is essential to choose a battery with an appropriate C-rating to meet its power demands during high-speed maneuvers and takeoffs.
