BetaFPV Aquila16 1100mAh 1S is a set of two original LiHV batteries designed exclusively for the BetaFPV Aquila16 brushless drone. It is the same battery that comes standard with the drone and the Aquila16 FPV Kit. The battery is a LiHV type with a maximum voltage of 4.35V per cell.
The battery has its own plastic housing that slides directly into the drone body and locks in place, so no battery strap is required. The modular design improves the drone's aerodynamics and protects the cell during impacts. However, its shape means it cannot be used in another drone, and standard 1S batteries cannot be used in the Aquila16. The battery may be tight when inserting it for the first time — the correct insertion and removal procedure is shown in the manufacturer's video.
The 1100mAh version with a 15C discharge rating and 4.18Wh energy capacity is recommended by the manufacturer for smoother flying in N and S modes, making it ideal for beginners and flight control practice. For freestyle and racing in M mode, the manufacturer offers a lighter and more powerful 650mAh 60C version (sold separately).
The battery features a BT2.0 connector. Unlike PH2.0 (4.5A), BT2.0 can handle a continuous current of up to 9A, resulting in less voltage drop at full throttle. It is charged with the BetaFPV BT2.0 Battery Charger and Voltage Tester V2, which is included with the Aquila16 drone (charger not included in this package).
