1S Batteries: Choose between Power for FPV Drones and Runtime for Radio Controllers
1S batteries are a versatile solution for ultralight FPV drones and radio controllers, available in two main types: LiPo and Li-ion. The choice between these two types of batteries depends on the specific needs of power and duration.
1S LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries are ideal for FPV drones due to their high discharge capacity and ability to provide rapid power delivery. This makes them perfect for stunts and fast maneuvers, ensuring the drone responds immediately to commands and reducing "voltage sag" under high load. They are lightweight and compact, ideal for Tiny Whoop and micro drone setups, often used indoors.
On the other hand, 1S Li-ion (Lithium Ion) batteries are more suitable for radio controllers, where signal stability and long life are a priority. Li-ions offer a high energy density and require less maintenance, making them perfect for extended sessions without having to recharge frequently. While they provide a more consistent power output, they are not ideal for drones that require high current discharges.
