❓ How do I choose the right battery capacity for my drone?

Selecting the right battery capacity depends on several key factors:

• Your drone's weight and power requirements
• Desired flight time
• Type of flying (photography, racing, etc.)

For most consumer drones, batteries range from 2000mAh to 5000mAh. A general rule is that larger capacity batteries provide longer flight times but add more weight. According to IEEE Spectrum, most modern consumer drones use lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries rated between 11.1V (3S) and 22.2V (6S). Calculate your drone's power consumption (in watts) to determine the ideal capacity.
