Title: need suggestion for battery power selection for quad
Post by: sdev on July 21, 2020, 08:21:49 PM
I am building my first quad LOS. i have motors which supports 4S Lipo. So, very basic things i ll using like FC, ESC and receiver and motors which will consume power. And i am planning to use quad for 4-5 mins approx.
So, how much power battery shall i select to fly the drone for 4-5 mins?

is there any calculation has to do for battery selection?

Well then look for a 4s 1500mah atleast 50C, best would be to see other folks setup and choose a lipo that they have used as well!
