What Is a 22.8V 6S LiHV Battery?
A 22.8V 6S LiHV battery is a six-cell lithium polymer battery built with LiHV (High Voltage) chemistry. While a standard 6S LiPo charges to 25.2V (4.20V per cell), a 6S LiHV battery safely charges up to 26.1V, providing more usable energy and improved voltage stability.
Many users search for 6S LiPo batteries when upgrading high-power RC setups. In practice, 22.8V LiHV batteries offer a measurable performance improvement over standard 6S packs without increasing system voltage complexity.
22.8V LiHV vs Standard 6S LiPo
| Feature | Standard 6S LiPo | 22.8V 6S LiHV |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal Voltage | 22.2V | 22.8V |
| Max Charge Voltage | 25.2V | 26.1V |
| Usable Runtime | Standard | Longer |
| Voltage Stability | Drops earlier under load | More consistent output |
| Charger Requirement | Standard LiPo mode | LiHV-capable charger |
Common Applications for 6S LiHV Batteries
6S LiHV batteries are commonly used in high-power FPV drones, large RC airplanes, and performance-focused RC vehicles where sustained voltage and output consistency are critical. They are often selected as an upgrade over standard 6S LiPo packs to improve throttle response and runtime.
