GNB 850mAh 3S 11.1V 80C LiPo Battery - High-Performance XT30 Micro FPV Battery (Square Type)
The GNB 850mAh 3S 80C is a premium Lithium Polymer battery designed for pilots who refuse to compromise on power. With a continuous 80C discharge rate and a massive 160C burst, it provides the high current required for rapid punch-outs and technical freestyle maneuvers. Its compact square form factor is optimized for modern micro-frames, ensuring a balanced center of gravity and excellent crash resilience
In the 2026 FPV scene, the GNB 850mAh 3S is the "sweet spot" for 3-inch builds. Gaoneng utilizes ultra-thin cell-stacking technology to pack high energy density into an 80g package.For Indian pilots flying in varied climates, these cells are specifically built with low internal resistance to resist voltage sag during high-throttle sequences in summer temperatures.
Key Technical Advantages:
Reliable 160C Burst: Engineered to handle split-second recoveries and aggressive vertical climbs without the battery "bottoming out," providing a safety margin for unexpected power demands.
Lightweight Efficiency: At just 80g, it provides the flight time of an 850mAh capacity without the weight penalty of larger 4S packs, keeping your 3-inch builds feeling responsive.
Square Form Factor: The unique "square" design is more structurally sound than traditional long-type batteries and fits perfectly on the top or bottom plates of Cinewhoops like the Cinelog series.
Gold-Plated XT30 Connector: Fitted with a high-quality XT30 plug to minimize resistance and handle high current flow during extreme maneuvers.
Fast Charge Ready: Supports safe charging up to 5C, meaning you can be back in the air in under 15 minutes when using a modern smart charger.
FAQ: Top 5 Questions on GNB 850mAh 3S
Q1: What is the typical flight time with a GNB 850mAh 3S battery?A: On a standard 3-inch toothpick quad, you can expect 4 to 6 minutes of flight time. For a heavier Cinewhoop carrying a naked camera, flight times typically range between 3 to 4.5 minutes depending on the throttle usage.
Q2: Is this battery compatible with Cinelog35 or Protek35?A: Yes, it is a perfect match for 3.5-inch Cinewhoops. While some pilots prefer 4S or 6S for those frames, the 3S 850mAh version is ideal for pilots looking for a lighter, "floatier" feel or indoor cinematic proximity flying.
Q3: Can I charge this battery at 5C (4.25A) every time?A: While the GNB cells are rated for 5C, we recommend a 1C (0.85A) or 2C (1.7A) charge rate for regular use. Consistent 5C charging will provide faster turnarounds but will reduce the overall number of cycles the battery can perform.
Q4: What is the minimum voltage for safe landing?A: To avoid damaging the cells, do not fly below 3.5V per cell (10.5V total). For maximum battery life, landing at 3.7V per cell (11.1V total) is recommended so the battery naturally settles at its storage voltage.
Q5: Why choose the "Square Type" over the "Long Type"?A: The Square Type is generally more crash-resistant as the internal cells are less likely to bend or deform. It also fits better on shorter micro-frames, helping to keep the center of gravity more centralized for better flight performance.
