FPV Battery Basics (Voltage, C-Rate, Capacity)
Note: These LiPo packs are not just for FPV quads — they also work as reliable drone battery for cinematic drones, mapping drones, and DIY multirotor builds.
- Voltage (S): defines power headroom; always match ESC/motor spec.
- C-Rate: higher C supports racing/freestyle punch; cinematic favors smoother output.
- Capacity (mAh): more mAh extends flight time but adds weight—stay within proven ranges for your frame size.
