What to check before you buy

Capacity and weight
More mAh gives longer flights but adds weight; compare capacity with the all-up weight your frame and motors are built for.
C rating
Check the continuous discharge rating against the peak current of your motors; burst figures are only for a few seconds.
Connector
Check the plug (XT30, XT60, XT90, EC5 or anti-spark) matches your aircraft and is rated for its current.
LiPo or LiHV
LiHV packs charge to 4.35 V per cell; use a charger and a flight controller voltage setting that support it.
Dimensions
Compare length, width and height with your battery bay or top plate and strap length.
Shipping
Ask how the packs are packed and shipped; lithium batteries travel as dangerous goods.

3S LiPo batteries FAQ

What voltage is a 3S LiPo?

11.1 V nominal, 12.6 V fully charged and about 10.5 V when it should be landed.

Can I use a 3S battery on a 4S drone?

Only if the ESC and motors accept 3S; it will fly with less power and shorter punch.

What does the C rating mean?

Discharge current as a multiple of capacity: a 1,500 mAh 100C pack is rated for 150 A, though real packs deliver less.
