❓ 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 (racing, photography, etc.)

As a general rule, larger capacity (mAh) means longer flight times but also adds weight. For example, a typical 2200mAh 4S LiPo battery might give 15-20 minutes of flight time on a medium-sized drone. According to IEEE Spectrum, most commercial drones use batteries ranging from 2000-5000mAh.

To calculate your needs, consider that every 100g of drone weight typically requires 25-30W of power. Choose a battery that balances weight and capacity for your specific use case.
