– Posted in: Useful
We explain, what mean the designation s, P and C on FPV batteries, How different LIPO, LihH said liа yours, and how to handle batteries in practice. Below are separate voltage tables for each type, 1s to 8s: Full charging, storage, par, minimum.
What is s, P and c
S (Series) - Number of jars, connected in series. The larger s - the higher the battery voltage. For example: 4S = 4 Banks × ~ 3.7v ≈ 14.8V.
P (Parallel) - the number of parallel branches. It depends on the total capacity and permissible load on the current. Example: 4S2P - two groups on 4 Banks, in parallel.
C (C-rate) - discharge factor. Defines, What is the maximum current (In ampere) can issue a battery. Formula: C × ємність (у Ah) = максимальний струм (A) For example: 1300 Mage × 75 C = 1.3 × 75 = 97.5 A
Types of battery
LiPo (lithium-polymer)
Par: 3.7 In/bank
Full charging: 4.20 IN
Storage: 3.80 IN
Minimum: 3.00 IN
Work with high currents, Standard for FPV-oka
Grind (High Voltage LiPo)
Par: 3.8 IN
Full charging: 4.35 IN
Storage: 3.85 IN
Minimum: 3.00 IN
Give a little more tension and thrust, But they are degraded faster
Li-ion (18650, 21700)
Par: 3.6–3.7v
Full charging: 4.20 IN
Storage: 3.70–3.75v
Minimum: 2.5–3.0v
Higher energy intensity, but limited output of current. Ideal for Long Range

How to use batteries correctly
Use Balance charger, Especially for lipo/lihv
Store batteries at ~ 3.8 in/bank (or 3.7–3.75 in for li-ion)
Do not overdose: 4.2 B - maximum for lipo / Li-ion
Do not discharge deeply : Do not fall below 3.0 IN (or 2.5 In for Li-Ion)
Land at 3.5–3.6 in/bank - Below will be a sharp subside and wear
Do not keep fully charged for more than 24–36 hours
Transport refractory: Lipo not like overheating
What is it all for
Knowledge of tension, Types and modes of operation of batteries allows:
Avoid batteries and degradation of batteries
Land in time without feed failures
customize BetafLight/Inav with correct LVC
choose the right acum under the task: race, freestyle, Long Range or Shooting
