Frequently Asked Questions
What drone platforms is this 22.8V 16000mAh HV battery designed for?
At 190 × 73 × 60mm and 1743g, this pack is built for large 12"+ 6S HV industrial drones — minimum a large quadcopter (4-rotor), up to hexacopter (6-rotor) and beyond. The XT90S plug connects directly to ESCs with XT90/XT90S input.
Typical fits include:
- 12"+ large quad industrial spraying / cargo drones
- 12"+ hexa heavy-lift mapping, inspection, and cinematography platforms
- Agricultural drones with 10L+ tank capacity
- Power line / pipeline / solar inspection large quads and hexas
Before ordering, verify:
- Battery bay clearance: at least 190 × 73 × 60mm
- Connector: XT90S on your ESC
- Voltage: ESC rated for 6S HV 22.8V (26.1V max input)
- Your ESC and charger support 3.8V/cell HV platform
What does 15C mean in real-world amperage? Is it enough for my drone?
15C continuous means a sustained 240A (16Ah × 15C), with a peak burst up to 480A (30C).
For a large 12"+ quad or hexa with 150–500KV motors and a 100–250A ESC, 240A continuous covers sustained full throttle with margin. A 12" quad drawing 120–180A at full throttle, or a 12" hexa drawing 200–250A at full throttle, both fall within this pack’s capability.
If your platform draws sustained peaks above 240A (e.g., a 14"+ heavy octocopter at maximum thrust), a higher-C pack would be more suitable.
This is an HV battery. What does that mean for my charger and ESC?
This is a 6S HV pack — 3.8V per cell, 22.8V nominal, 26.1V full charge (4.35V/cell). It is not a standard 6S pack (3.7V/cell, 22.2V, 25.2V full charge).
Charger: You need a charger that supports 6S HV mode (4.35V/cell max). Most modern smart chargers (iCharger, SkyRC, HOTA) have a dedicated “6S HV” profile. If you use a standard 6S charger (25.2V max), it will undercharge this pack — the battery will work but deliver less than its rated capacity.
ESC: Most 6S ESCs tolerate 26.1V input, but verify your ESC’s max voltage rating. If your ESC is strictly rated “25.2V max,” it may not be safe at 26.1V. Check with your ESC manufacturer if in doubt.
Do not use this pack in a standard 6S (22.2V) system, a 4S system, or an 8S system.
What are the recommended charge settings?
- Charger mode: 6S HV (4.35V/cell max, 26.1V total)
- Charge rate: 1C (16A) for daily use; 2C (32A) maximum for quick turnaround
- Balance voltage: 4.35V/cell (HV default on most chargers)
- Discharge cutoff: 3.40V/cell minimum — do not discharge below this
At 1C (16A), a full charge from empty takes approximately 55–65 minutes. Avoid sustained 3C+ (48A+) charging — it accelerates cell aging and reduces total cycle life.
Store at 3.80V/cell (22.8V) if not in use for more than a few days.
How long will it last in flight?
With 364.8Wh of energy and 240A continuous capability, typical endurance on a large 12"+ 6S HV industrial platform (5–10kg AUW including payload) is approximately 30–50 minutes, depending on:
- Prop size and motor KV: larger, lower-KV props (e.g., 14×7 on 150KV or 12×7 on 200KV) favor the upper end
- Payload weight: a 10L–20L spraying tank or 3–5kg camera/payload rig pushes toward the lower end
- Throttle profile: steady 60–80% cruise vs. frequent full-throttle maneuvers
- Wind and altitude: headwind and high altitude increase current draw and reduce flight time
A 12" quad with a 10L tank in calm conditions will trend toward 35–45 min; a 14" hexa carrying a 5kg payload in crosswind will trend toward 25–35 min. Actual flight time varies with your specific motor, prop, and ESC configuration — treat these as planning estimates.
What’s in the box? Can I change the connector to something else?
- 1× PCEONAMP 22.8V 16000mAh 6S HV LiPo battery (Model: XY160156XT), XT90S plug pre-soldered
- 1× JST-XH 7-pin balance lead
The XT90S plug is factory-soldered to 8AWG silicone power leads. If your ESC uses a different connector (XT60, Anderson, Deans, etc.):
- Use an XT90S-to-X adapter (simplest, no soldering)
- Cut the XT90S and re-solder your preferred connector — 8AWG gauge supports up to ~250A sustained, which matches the 15C rating
If you’re not comfortable soldering, an adapter is the safe route.
How is this different from the standard 22.2V 16000mAh 6S pack?
Both packs share the same capacity (16000mAh), weight (1743g), size (190 × 73 × 60mm), and connector (XT90S). The only differences:
- This pack (22.8V HV): 3.8V/cell, 26.1V full charge, 15C continuous (240A), requires an HV-rated charger and ESC
- Standard pack (22.2V): 3.7V/cell, 25.2V full charge, 18C continuous (288A), works with any standard 6S charger and ESC
In short: if your drone is already set up for standard 6S (which most are), the 22.2V pack is the one you want. This 22.8V HV pack is for builds specifically designed around the higher cell voltage — it delivers slightly more energy per cell but requires matching HV hardware.
