What is the difference between 4S and 6S LiPo?

What is the difference between 4S and 6S LiPo?

4S batteries have four cells with voltages ranging between 4.2V and 3.7V in each, which means that they will operate in the range of 16.8 to 14.8 Volts. 6S batteries, on the other hand, operate between 25.2V and 22.2V since they have 6 cells.

Can I use 4S battery on 6S motors?

Even if your motors KV are for 4S LiPo (for example 2208 2500KV), you can still put a 6S LiPo on your quad. This is a new feature in Betaflight that auto adjust motor output to compensate for the voltage difference.

Is the 6S faster than the 4S?

Generally, a 6S setup with low kV (1600-1900kV) motors can provide more torque and equivalent top speed to a high kV 4S setup (2600kV+). High kV motors on a 6S setup (~2100kV+) produce less torque but higher motor speeds than a low kV 6S motor.

What does 4S mean in drones?

In early 2018, MultiGP, a large American drone racing league announced a change in regulations derestricting the battery cell limit in races from the conventional 4 cell (4S) LiPO limit to open.

What is a 6S drone?

Commonly, 6S drone racing setups will use of kV motors with a battery of equivalent energy storage to a larger capacity 4S pack. The idea behind a low kV 6S setup is to achieve the same motor RPM as a 4S setup using a high kV motor.

What amp should I charge my 4S LiPo?

For the vast majority of LiPos, the Charge Rate is 1C. The equation works the same way as discharge rating, where 1000mAh = 1A. So, for a 3000mAh battery, we would want to charge at 3A. The safest charge rate for most LiPo batteries is 1C, or 1 x capacity of battery in Amps.

What does 6S mean in drones?

What is a Cinewhoop?

What is a cinewhoop and who is it for? Cinewhoops are drones specifically designed for capturing chrisp, stable, high-definition video that DJI drones can’t capture. They are small, stable and much safer than your 5” FPV drone. They usually run 3” propellers that are protected in ducts that give them more lift*.
