SPIDER Automation | Bonka 3S 1300mAh Lithium Polymer Battery – 11.1V, 25C | Compact Rechargeable Power for RC & FPV Systems
Product Overview & Battery Technology
The Bonka 11.1V 1300mAh 25C 3S Lithium Polymer Battery Pack is designed for compatible radio-controlled platforms, FPV systems and electronic equipment requiring a compact rechargeable power source. Its three-cell series configuration provides a nominal voltage of 11.1V, while the 1300mAh capacity supplies stored energy for equipment designed around these battery specifications.
With a specified 25C discharge rating, this battery is intended for compatible applications requiring a lithium polymer power source with a defined discharge capability. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for installations where battery compartment space is limited. Potential applications include FPV drones, RC cars, airplanes, helicopters, multirotors and robotics systems, subject to the electrical and physical requirements of the equipment.
The pack features an XT60 discharge connector for the main power connection and a JST-XH balance connector for cell balancing during charging. These separate connections support the power-delivery and balancing requirements of a 3S lithium polymer battery system.
Measuring 73 × 33 × 20mm, the battery can be evaluated for compact installations with sufficient mounting and compartment space. Before installation, verify the equipment’s voltage requirements, connector compatibility, available space and electrical specifications.
