Batterie FPV Drone 10-inch hexacopter ( X 6 )

For a 10-inch hexacopter drone, utilizing two 6S 6000mAh 10-50C XT60 LiPo batteries (connected in parallel) is a common and highly effective power solution. This setup is designed to provide substantial power and significantly extended flight times for larger, multi-rotor aircraft, which are often employed for professional cinematic work, heavy lifting, or long-duration missions.

Here's a detailed breakdown of the components and their collective benefits:

Individual Battery Specifications (per pack):

6S (Cell Count): Each battery consists of six lithium polymer cells wired in series, providing a nominal voltage of 22.2V (6 x 3.7V). This high voltage is crucial for efficiently powering the six large motors typically found on a 10-inch hexacopter, ensuring ample thrust for lifting the drone and its payload, and maintaining stable flight.

• 6000mAh (Milliampere-hour): This is a substantial capacity for a single battery. It indicates a significant energy reserve, contributing to a good flight duration.

• 10-50C (Discharge Rate): This indicates a continuous discharge rate of 10C and a burst discharge rate of 50C.

  • 10C Continuous: For a 6000mAh (6Ah) battery, this means it can continuously supply 60 Amps (6Ah x 10C = 60A). This is the sustained current capability required for steady cruising.

  • 50C Burst: This signifies the battery's ability to deliver very high currents for short periods, up to 300 Amps (6Ah x 50C = 300A). This burst rating is vital for moments of peak power demand, such as rapid ascents, sudden maneuvers, or combating strong winds, ensuring the motors receive immediate and sufficient power without excessive voltage drop.

• XT60 Plug: A widely recognized and robust connector in the drone industry, the XT60 is chosen for its reliability and ability to safely handle the high currents drawn by larger drones, providing a secure and efficient connection.

Dual Battery Setup ( 2 in parallel) for a 10-Inch Hexacopter:*

When two identical 6S 6000mAh batteries are connected in parallel to power the hexacopter, the following combined specifications are achieved:

• Voltage Remains 6S (22.2V): The voltage stays the same as individual packs, ensuring consistent power to the motors.

• Effective Capacity Doubles to 12000mAh (12Ah): This significantly increases the total energy available to the drone, leading to much longer flight times compared to using a single battery. This is a primary reason for such a setup on larger drones.

• Effective Continuous Discharge Rate Doubles to 20C (120 Amps): While the individual C-rating is 10C, in parallel, the total continuous current capability doubles. This provides a very healthy 120A continuous discharge, more than sufficient for the sustained power needs of a large hexacopter.

• Effective Burst Discharge Rate Doubles to 100C (600 Amps): The combined burst capability becomes immense, providing an astounding 600 Amps for short durations. This ensures the hexacopter has instantaneous power for any demanding maneuver or unexpected load, maintaining excellent responsiveness and flight stability even under extreme conditions.

Suitability for a 10-Inch Hexacopter Drone:

This dual 6S 6000mAh setup is ideal for a 10-inch hexacopter because:

• Extended Flight Endurance: The combined 12000mAh capacity provides the long flight times necessary for professional applications like lengthy cinematic shoots, extensive mapping missions, or prolonged surveillance.

• Robust Power Delivery: The high 6S voltage and the impressive combined discharge rate (120A continuous, 600A burst) ensure that the six powerful motors receive a stable and ample supply of current, minimizing voltage sag even under heavy loads or during aggressive maneuvers (though 10-inch hexacopters are less about acrobatics and more about stability).

• Payload Capacity: The sustained power output helps in lifting and maintaining altitude with heavier payloads, such as professional cameras, gimbals, or specialized sensors.

• Reliability: Using two batteries often provides a slight redundancy and can help distribute the load, potentially leading to cooler battery temperatures and increased overall system reliability.
