SPIDER Automation | Bonka 4S FPV U2 Series LiPo Battery – 14.8V, 1500mAh, 180C | High-Rate Power Delivery for FPV & RC Systems
Product Overview & Battery Technology
The Bonka 14.8V 1500mAh 180C 4S FPV U2 Series Lithium Polymer Battery Pack is designed for compatible FPV and radio-control applications that require a compact battery with a high specified discharge rating. Its four-cell series configuration provides a nominal voltage of 14.8V, while its 1500mAh capacity supplies the rated energy storage for suitable power systems.
With a specified 180C discharge rating, this battery is intended for applications with demanding power-delivery requirements. Actual performance and suitability depend on the connected equipment, electrical load, battery condition and operating conditions. The supplied C-rating is the stated discharge rating; continuous and burst classifications have not been specified.
The pack features an XT60 discharge connector for the main power output and a JST-XH balance connector for cell balancing. These connectors support use with compatible equipment and balance chargers, provided their electrical requirements and connector configurations match.
Measuring 80 × 40 × 25mm, the battery is suited to compatible installations where available battery space and connector arrangement are important considerations. It can be considered for FPV drones, RC cars, airplanes, helicopters, multirotors and other suitable electronic power applications designed for a 4S lithium polymer battery.
