TheFPV – The Battery V3 (6S, 1200mAh, “120C”, XT60)

LiPo’s are pricey, aren’t they? I mean, for something that will fail with time, the price tag on a lot of FPV quadcopter batteries out there is just TOO DAMN HIGH.

Aside from that, you spend a long while – hours, perhaps even days – meticulously planning, buying the parts for and building a quadcopter that not only flies sweet, but looks the part too. Buuuuuut then you’ve gotta go and throw on a LiPo to get it in the air, and it’ll be silver, or gold, or purple, red, whatever. The colour doesn’t really matter, but the fact that it, like, TOTALLY clashes with your kick-ass lookin’ build right there? That’s just a let down. So, let’s address that.

Here we have our premier foray into the full-sized LiPo space. And no, it’s not just another GNB, CNHL or GensAce rebrand. We know you’re going to abuse your LiPo’s (which we don’t endorse, so don’t go ignoring the safety warnings and trying to charge us for a new carpet – just embrace your new art piece that is the abstract black brick on your workbench), and we know that you just want a decent LiPo that will keep you in the air, perform well and just look sweet on just about any build until you kill it and need another without also killing your bank account. That’s no problem, we’re the same.

Our LiPo is designed specifically to be able to sit atop any carefully-planned quad and keep the whole setup looking fresh. You’ll find enticing colours such as black, white…. And nothing else. Not even a red wire! Minimal, clean and pretty damn fancy lookin’ if I do say so myself. On top of that, as we didn’t just go out there and make another GNB rebrand or add our own brand tax, we can pass savings on to you. You want an affordable but decent LiPo? You got it.

Let’s talk about C ratings, the hype of the FPV battery world. You know, the higher the C rating, the better the performance, right? WRONG. It’s all just a bunch of marketing BS, people trying to justify their overpriced batteries. The truth is, you don’t need a 150C rating to fly your 5″ freestyle quad with no sag, you just need high quality, factory fresh cells. But, we get it, people like to have the latest and greatest. So, we’ve labeled our battery with a “Plenty-good-enough-for-your-5″-freestyle-quad-C” rating. It’s honest, it’s real, and it won’t break the bank.
