Also in 6S LiPo Batteries, currently out of stock
6S LiPo batteries are six-cell, 22.2V packs and the standard choice for modern 5-inch freestyle and racing quads and for larger long-range and cinelifter builds. This page collects every 6S pack in our LiPo Batteries range. When choosing, two things matter most: capacity, which trades flight time against weight, and the connector, which must match your drone's power lead. After that, make sure the discharge (C) rating comfortably covers your motors' peak current draw.
How to choose a 6S LiPo
Start from the build, not the battery. A 5-inch freestyle quad usually flies a 1050–1500mAh pack, and 1300mAh is the common middle ground between punch and flight time. Racers go lighter to keep the quad nimble, 7-inch long-range builds step up to around 1800–2200mAh, and heavy-lift or cinelifter frames use 3500–6000mAh packs.
- Capacity (mAh): more flight time, but more weight to carry.
- Discharge rating (C): capacity × C gives the rated continuous current, so a 1300mAh 150C pack is rated for 195A. Printed figures are optimistic, so use them to compare packs rather than as hard limits.
- Connector: XT60 on most 5-inch quads, XT30 on smaller 6S builds, XT90 or AS150 on large packs.
- Weight: compare grams as well as mAh, since two packs of the same capacity can differ by 20–30g.
What we stock
The range covers Tattu R-Line V5.0 and V6.0 race packs from 1200 to 1700mAh, CNHL Ultra Black Series and Speedy Pizza packs, iFlight Fullsend, and DOGCOM packs from 650mAh up to 5200mAh, alongside AGAPOWER, OVONIC and GAONENG (GNB). For big airframes there are DOGCOM 3500–5200mAh 120C packs on XT90 and the Tattu G-Tech 6000mAh on an AS150 anti-spark plug.
Compatibility
A 6S pack sits at 22.2V nominal and 25.2V fully charged, so every part on the power bus must be rated for it: the ESC, the flight controller's input range, and anything wired directly to the battery, such as some video transmitters and LED boards.
Motor KV has to match the voltage. On a 5-inch quad, 6S builds typically run 1700–1950KV motors, while motors of 2400KV and above are wound for 4S and will overheat on 6S.
Charge at 1C (1.3A for a 1300mAh pack) on a balance charger with a 6S balance port, and store packs at about 3.8V per cell (22.8V) when you are not flying.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use a 6S battery on a 4S build?
- Only if every component is rated for 6S. Most 4S builds use motors of 2300KV and above that will overspin and overheat on 6S, and 4S-only ESCs can fail, so check each part's input rating first.
- What capacity 6S LiPo should I use for a 5-inch quad?
- 1050–1500mAh covers most 5-inch builds. 1300mAh is a common all-rounder; go smaller for racing and larger for cruising, keeping the extra weight in mind.
- How should I store 6S LiPo batteries?
- At storage voltage, about 3.8V per cell or 22.8V for a 6S pack, in a fire-resistant LiPo bag away from heat. Most balance chargers have a storage mode that charges or discharges to this level.
