Best Batteries for BETAFPV Pavo20 Pro and Pavo20 Pro II
The Pavo20 platform performs best with compact, high-quality 3S XT30 batteries. CNHL offers a full range of options from lightweight 450mAh packs for tight indoor flights to higher-capacity 600–850mAh packs for longer outdoor sessions and stable HD recording. These batteries deliver smooth power, strong punch, and consistent voltage output for both the Pavo20 Pro and the Pavo20 Pro II.
Fully Compatible With Both 1st and 2nd Generation Pavo20
Both the original Pavo20 Pro and the newer Pavo20 Pro II use the same power system: 3S LiPo or LiHV with an XT30 connector. This ensures full cross-compatibility regardless of which version you fly. There is no need to prepare different batteries for different generations; one well-chosen set of packs will work across your entire Pavo20 fleet.

How to Choose the Right 3S Battery for Your Flying Style
Indoor and lightweight freestyle: 450mAh packs keep your Pavo20 quick, light, and agile, making it easier to hit small gaps and recover from mistakes.
Urban cine cruising: 600–650mAh batteries provide extra flight time and smoother footage without making the quad feel sluggish.
HD recording with DJI O4 or O4 Pro: 650–850mAh packs are recommended if you want longer, more stable flights and fewer battery swaps between takes.
Aggressive power-demanding flying: High-C packs such as the Pizza Series 600mAh 120C deliver strong punch-outs and better voltage stability under load.
Safety Notes for 3S XT30 LiPo and LiHV Batteries
Always verify XT30 polarity before plugging in and avoid forcing the connector. Use a balance charger, monitor cell voltage during charge, and do not leave batteries fully charged for long periods. After each session, check for swelling, excessive heat, or physical damage, and store packs at a proper storage voltage. LiHV batteries should be charged using the correct LiHV mode up to 4.35V per cell.
