[@GeorgeN49]

4+ minute flights on those lipos is really impressive. I've been only getting 2-3 minutes on my GNB lipos so I'll have to give these a try now. Thanks for the review!

[@BrandonBeans]

Finally, BetaFPV cells that don't suck!

[@925fpv]

I saw on facebook that some guys were saying the Tattu's only lasted 2 minutes and now I know that's just fake news.

[@ChrisHarmon1]

Depends on setup and how you're flying. For example, a 65mm hovering around? 3 minutes minimum even with HDZero/Walksnail. HD 65mm flying hard? 2 minutes is easily possible. We are pushing the limits discharging lipos in 4 minutes or less, at this rate of discharge I wouldn't expect much more than 30 cycles before performance starts to degrade. If you are running HD and getting 3 minutes, performance will degrade at a much higher rate. This issue and leaving Tattu/newbeedrone/tinywhoop/webleed 300mah cells charged for more than a day will see them puffing extremely quick when compared to say a GNB 1s 550. I'm here watching this video curious about any new cells available in the 1s 8 gram space in hopes that things will improve.

[@MicheleWolfe-g9g]

Im not joking, be very careful about these batteries. I ordered 8 of them and around 6 of them were defective. the defective ones started at 4.20V, but after around 30s to 1m my quad would drop out of the sky. The tattus I mean.

[@vanlifefpv6340]

Looks like betafpv cracked the code on these type of lipos and the performance is really good. Doesn't matter that the tinywhoop lipos are out of stock because they are way overpriced imo.

[@ThumpahFPV]

50% increased flight time would require completely different chemistry. People do not understand what a leap 50% would be.

[@JoshFPV24]

It's the blind leading the blind and a lot of false information gets passed around like this because people are just dumb.

[@jondonner3521]

Thanks for the tip on the mobula6. I went ahead and placed a pre-order for one. I hope I can get one from the first batch.

[@GR8SCOTT]

Thanks Albert Kim I just picked some Lavas up!!!

[@frankcastillo8869]

If you watch the flight videos carefully you'll notice the overall voltage sag on the lava lipo is slightly better than the tattu. Might be worth it for those looking for that slight performance edge.

[@zerotasteguy]

Copied from elsewhere: >>> At the moment, the best 1S batteries are folded-cell LIHV packs made by Grepow, which are sold under their Tattu brand, and also rebranded and sold by WebleedFPV, Newbeedrone, tinywhoop and Dogcom. Current available sizes are: 270mah 300mah (dogcom labels theirs 320mah, but it's the same cell that everyone else has for their 300s) 450mah Tattu is generally recommended as they sell the 5 pack for the same price as others sell 4 packs, but see what's cheaper for yourself.

[@krish3033]

I bought some of the Lava 1s 550mah’s for my meteor75 pro and can confirm those are very good as well. I get around an extra 60 seconds of flight time vs the old blue 550’s.

[@galardo3303]

The blue betafpv lipos are garbage. On the 300mah I get around half flighttime with the meteor65 while cruising compared to the tattu.

[@krish3033]

Yeah, the blue 300’s are especially garbage. One thing I’ve noticed is that most of the blue batteries have been almost fully charged when I receive them, but the lava’s were all at 3.8v upon arrival.

[@xavierprimeto1752]

People are pushing the more expensive lipos to pad their affiliate link income, that's the only reason.

[@tazgrif11]

Thanks for the review

[@pandrews01]

Great review. Like my science teacher said, "a lot of it is hype," but there is some truth to it as every manufacturers recipe is a little bit different. You pointed out something with a lot of truth to it, same manufacturer, just a different label. Thanks for the helpful advice and suggestions regarding how much you can push these batteries, without damaging them. Appreciated.

[@jaechoe]

Thank you for sharing and your honest opinions about the 1s batteries. Great comparison between the lava and the tattu batteries. Thanks for the Amazon used PSA, yeah never get used batteries. Unless you know the previous owner. 4.5mins of flight time, awesome great flying and comparison Albert!!! Tattu for the win, cheaper for same, a win to me!!!!! 👍

[@tanzelini9]

Good to know the Tattu's are the same as the we bleed and tiny whoop batteries. Will probably pick up a pack of those soon

[@xavierprimeto1752]

those people pushing the expensive lipos are making some good commissions for sure

[@frankcastillo8869]

I might have a bad batch but I bought a pack of TW lipos about a year ago and they all puffed within a month.

[@KidCe.]

​@@frankcastillo8869 did you storage charge them after each session? we have alot of people in our local group who are very happy with the tattus and they all storage charged them. while one newbie didnt know about storage charging and he had them puff up in 2 months too. mine still feel almost like new after 5 months

[@scottstevens7569]

Thanks for the info. Good testing. Another negative thing about WeBleed and Nitro Nectar is that they are propriatory to US companies, making it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT and EXPENSIVE to get anywhere else, like Canada. Basically have to buy a drone in order to get them delivered because they won't sell otherwise and shipping requirements about the same as TNT. :)

[@arthurgiourdjian9071]

Thanks for pointing out that these are basically the same batteries. I swear every time I try to grab some they're always sold out, glad to have more options available!

[@jalkingforjesus]

I have a number of Tattu and NBD folded cells and the voltage on all of them drop off a cliff at about 250mah, giving me about 5 seconds to land before they drop below a minimum safe voltage. 250mah seems to be the most reliable metric for how depleted the pack is, since voltage sags without warning. I still have some GNB27 250mah HappyModel batteries from my AE65 and DE65 v2 that still give reasonable flight time, and I find them to be significantly better batteries (lighter, longer flight times, more gradual/predictable voltage sag, better percentage mah discharge) than any of the folded cells I have used. Definitely keen to give the Lava batteries a go if they don't sag as badly at the end of the pack, particularly given they seem to be pretty competitively priced and can be purchased direct from BetaFPV from the world outside of the US.

[@flighttrain71]

Thx for the comparison

[@pablowasserman]

Can i charge the LAVA and Tatubwith the same charger that comes with the Meteor65 Pro? The BT 2.0 with Output: 4.35V/1A

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yes, I use that one with no issues.

[@pablowasserman]

​@@AlbertKimTVthanks for the quick response!

[@rodolphelacquemant1692]

Could you compare their weight?

[@bigfootgoesboom]

If my tiny whoops weren’t all broken I’d be all over this

[@ADfpv]

Got both the betafpv 550 1s, and the new lava 550 1s. The difference is significat, getting 1-1.5min more of fly time, and way less sag

[@galardo3303]

The manufacturer from tattu and the other black batteries should be grepow. There are only 3 or 4 (mother) companies left who manufacture lipo cells

[@jlarson42]

Just recently bought a set of the BetaFPV 1S Lava lipos. Reasonably priced, performed well for me so far. Very similar to the Tattu lipos I've used in the past. Great review and test video. 👍😎

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks for all the testing, Albert! 😊 I definitely need to get some of those! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@zerotasteguy]

Tattu is owned by grepow who makes the folded cells

[@AlbertKimTV]

Now BETAFPV also makes folded cell lipos with their LAVA series.

[@zerotasteguy]

@@AlbertKimTV we don't know that, they might be buying them from tattu aswell...

[@rigvedmahadeshwar4390]

cinewhoop build pls

[@bretrowlinson]

Thanks for the review. Always nice to know different ways to save a few dollars. Not going to finish scanning QR's on this one, pretty cumbersome. Kudo's to whoever is patient enough to find the valid QR for prize entry....

[@xavierprimeto1752]

Only took a few minutes to scan them all. Not a big deal.

[@GeorgeN49]

@bretrowlinson I'd stop complaining as he might make things even harder than it already is.

[@bretrowlinson]

@@GeorgeN49 :) Not possible I would say.

[@DaZelli]
