Batteries & Charging

Lipo batteries

LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries are the go-to power source for FPV (First-Person View) drones due to their high energy density, lightweight design, and ability to deliver massive bursts of current for agile flight.

These batteries are spec'd for performance over longevity (you should use them 50-200 times/cycles

Permanent damage - If you drain too much energy out of a lipo battery or put too much in, you will permanently damage it or potentially cause a fire, which is why it is very important to keep an eye on the energy left in your battery as you fly.

When you get a new lipo battery it will already come partially charged.  This partial charge is called the Storage Voltage.  Storage voltage is where each cell is charged to approximately 3.8 volts.

The usable voltage range for a standard lipo battery cell is 3.2v to 4.2v.  Any lower than 3.2v and the battery may be permanently damaged.  Any higher than 4.2v and you significantly increase the risk of a battery bursting into flames.
