1. Application-Specific Battery Design for FPVs
FPV racing drones need batteries that deliver bursts of high current without overheating. Therefore, our LiPo packs are engineered for ultra-high C-rates and low internal resistance.
Furthermore, we ensure compact and lightweight designs to maintain perfect drone balance.
- Ultra-high C-rate: 70C–120C continuous, up to 150C+ burst for aggressive maneuvers
- Low Internal Resistance: Premium tab design with strict cell matching
- Compact & Lightweight: Optimized for balanced center of gravity
2. Safety, Compliance & Reliability
Safety is essential for FPV drone batteries. In addition, our crash-resistant packaging and high-temp stable electrolytes prevent damage under extreme use.
- Crash-resistant packaging: Multi-layer reinforced film
- High-temp stability: Prevents puffing or swelling under load
- Certifications: UN38.3 and MSDS compliant for global shipping
3. OEM / ODM Customization Options
We provide multiple customization options for FPV batteries. For instance, connector types include XT30, XT60, or BT2.0/PH2.0. Additionally, voltage configurations range from 1S to 6S (3.7V–22.2V).
Moreover, high-voltage LiHV (4.35V/cell) options are available for extended flight time.
4. FAQs – FPV Drone Batteries
Q1: How do you ensure consistency across high-C packs?
We use automated sorting to match internal resistance within ≤1mΩ variance per cell. Furthermore, each batch undergoes voltage and discharge testing to guarantee performance.
Q2: Do you offer Graphene LiPo technology?
Yes. In addition, we incorporate carbon/graphene additives to lower IR and improve cycle life.
Q3: Can you customize the pack shape for Cinewhoops?
Absolutely. Moreover, we adjust dimensions to fit specific frame heights while maintaining optimal balance.
Q4: Is global shipping supported?
Yes. Our packs comply with UN38.3 packaging and MSDS regulations. Therefore, you can ship safely worldwide.
Q5: What lead time is typical for OEM orders?
Production schedules vary. In addition, we work closely with your team to ensure timely delivery for bulk orders.
Client Background
The client is an FPV racing drone brand supplying 5-inch and 3.5-inch quads to professional pilots and freestyle creators in several global markets.
Their drones are used in high-speed racing events and freestyle sessions, where reliable burst power and consistent throttle response are critical for performance.
Challenges
During early events and pilot runs, the client encountered several battery-related issues:
• Noticeable voltage sag under full throttle, reducing top speed and vertical punch.
• Excessive pack temperature after a few laps, leading to swollen cells and shortened battery life.
• Inconsistent C-rating and quality variation between batches, making drone tuning difficult to standardize.
• Higher in-field failure rate, causing race interruptions and negative pilot feedback.
HIMAX Electronics Battery Solution
We designed a custom high-rate LiPo battery pack tailored to FPV racing platforms.
Typical configuration (example): 22.2 V (6S) 1300 mAh, 120 C continuous discharge, with low-impedance cells to minimize voltage sag under aggressive load.
Key design features include robust main and balance leads, flame-retardant outer wrap, and connectors rated for repeated high-current usage.
Strict cell matching and internal resistance control are applied to ensure each batch delivers consistent performance, supporting predictable PID tuning and race setup.
Testing & Compliance
To support safe global shipment and team usage, the packs underwent:
UN38.3 transportation safety testing.
Electrical and thermal stress testing under race-like current profiles.
Cycle life evaluation at high discharge rates.
High-discharge FPV drone LiPo batteries are provided by Himax.
Results & Performance
After integrating the HIMAX battery solution, the client observed:
• Stronger punch-outs and higher sustained speed with reduced voltage sag.
• Lower operating temperature and improved cycle life across multiple race weekends.
• Reduced in-field pack failures and fewer race interruptions related to power issues.
Customer Benefits
The FPV brand used the improved performance to promote their drones as “race ready out of the box,” helping to attract competitive pilots.
Teams and end users reported more confidence in power delivery, leading to positive word-of-mouth in FPV communities and higher accessory battery sales.
