Whether for mapping and surveying, agricultural spraying, or aerial cinematography, drones are indispensable—and drone batteries are the power source behind them. They directly determine flight time, operational efficiency, and safety.
As drone professional, do you often face issues such as insufficient battery endurance or poor compatibility? This article analyzes the core specifications of drone battery and introduces a high-performance battery suitable for various applications — the Apsenx 8000mAh 21700 6S2P 22.2V 10C drone battery — along with customized high-discharge battery pack solutions.
Common Drone Battery Specifications
Voltage (V):
Voltage directly affects motor speed and power output. Common configurations include 3S (11.1V), 4S (14.8V), and 6S (22.2V). Take the Apsenx 8000mAh 21700 6S2P 22.2V 10C battery, for example—its high voltage design of 22.2V delivers strong power for large industrial drones, making it ideal for long-range mapping and heavy-lift operations. In contrast, 4S batteries are more suitable for small to mid-sized consumer drones, balancing power output and energy consumption while keeping equipment costs low.
Capacity (mAh):
mAh indicates the battery’s energy storage capacity and is directly related to flight duration. Agricultural drones, which require long-duration continuous operation, typically use batteries over 10,000mAh. For aerial cinematography, where reducing weight is critical, 5000–8000mAh batteries are more common. The Apsenx 8000mAh battery ensures sufficient endurance while maintaining a lightweight design, making it ideal for weight-sensitive FPV racing and creative shooting scenarios.
Cell Type:
Mainstream cell types include 18650, 21700, and lithium polymer (LiPo). The 21700 cell, with its higher energy density and longer lifespan, is increasingly favored for industrial drones. The Apsenx 8000mAh 21700 6S2P 22.2V 10C battery utilizes 21700 cells, offering 20% higher energy density compared to traditional 18650 cells, significantly enhancing endurance.
Discharge Rate (C):
The C-rating determines how much current a battery can discharge instantaneously. A 10C-rated Apsenx battery can deliver 80A (8000mAh × 10C) of current in short bursts, meeting high power demands during drone takeoff and rapid acceleration. Agricultural drones, which frequently stop, start, and hover, typically require high-discharge batteries rated between 15C–25C. For inspection drones, a lower discharge rate of 8C–10C is generally sufficient.

The Apsenx battery features a built-in intelligent BMS (Battery Management System) that continuously monitors voltage, temperature, and charging/discharging status, effectively preventing overcharging, over-discharging, and short circuits. Its modular design allows for quick battery swaps, significantly improving operational efficiency—especially in high-frequency FPV flight scenarios. Whether it’s the extreme demands of FPV drone racing or complex terrain mapping missions, the Apsenx battery delivers stable performance you can rely on.
