Li-Po Batteries for RC controlled drones and quadcopters

A lithium polymer battery (commonly knows as LiPo, LIP, Li-poly, and others), is a rechargeable battery of lithium-ion technology using a polymer electrolyte instead of a liquid one. Where weight is a critical feature, Li-Po batteries are an excellent choice.

Most important LiPo battery brands and manufacturers:

  • ChinaHobbyLine (CNHL);
  • Ovonic;
  • Tattu;
  • GensAce;
  • Auline;
  • ZOPBattery;
  • Zippy
  • Giant Battery;
  • InfinityLiPo;
  • Floureon;
  • Turnigy;
  • Nano-Tech;
  • Multistar Racer;
  • Rhino;
  • Dinogy;
  • GaoNeng GNB;
  • Hyperion.

According to the number of cells, you can find 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, and 7s Li-Po batteries. The 3s and 4s are commonly used by racing drone quadcopters.

Note: Li-Po batteries are highly explosive, charge them only with a proper charger!!!
