Why it's trending
Batteries are the most important — and most abused — drone part. Proper care doubles their life.
Understand S, mAh and C
Cell count sets voltage, mAh sets capacity, C sets maximum discharge.
High-capacity 6S packs
Big 6S packs power long endurance heavy-lift drones.
Storage voltage
Store LiPos around 3.8V per cell, never full or empty.
