The price of the lipo was too high, especially since I was already crashing and damaging batteries. Yet, one day when I was looking for new batteries, there was a sale on the Tattu 1300mah R-line v3s and I decided to give them a try.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I knew that these batteries would be better than my old 6s packs, but I did not know how much better. I had prior experience with Tattu and their 1300mah 4s batteries (not R-line), and they held up really well. I expected them to be the best batteries I have ever flown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon first inspection, the packaging of the batteries is identical to many other batteries with a cardboard box, foam and bubble wrap surrounding the battery. When I took the lipo out of the box, I could immediately feel how light and small the battery was. I was excited about the lightweight and size but concerned about the durability of the lipo. I could not wait to try these batteries out!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6080&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build Quality<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By only touching and looking at the Tattu R-line, these lipo batteries seem high quality. You can tell how light the battery is by just holding the battery. The small size is also significant, and it is almost as small as some of my old 4s batteries. However, the weight of the battery could also be a downside, since there could be fewer protective measures put into the Lipo pack (metal plates) allowing the cells to dent and break easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I compare the batteries to my old China Hobbyline 6s 1300mah batteries, the weight and size are more significant. The R-lines are undoubtedly lighter and smaller than the CNHL batteries. However, the CNHL batteries tend to have more capacity than advertised and have thicker heat shrink and metal plates around the battery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than the size and weight difference of the Tattu R-line and other batteries, the R-lines also have the XT-60 connector and the balance connector (JST-xh) coming out of the same side as the battery. I do not like it this way because it is harder to plug the battery into the charger.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6081&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charging the R-lines<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before I could fly these batteries I needed to charge them. When my three batteries arrived, all the cells were holding voltage at storage charge (3.8v). Charging the batteries were simple, and just like any other lipo. There were no complications charging any of my three batteries during, and after charging. The lipos would hold their charge at 4.2 volts after charge ready to be flown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even after flights on the field, there were no problems charging up the R-line. As long as you follow safety guidelines about lithium polymer batteries (charging at 1C, keeping the battery away from flammable objects, etc.), charging up these R-lines will not be an issue. If you do not know how to charge a Lithium Polymer battery, here is an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=90C_LzpPBwc\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">excellent video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by UavFutures explaining everything you need to know.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6082&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flight Performance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the first flight with the Tattu R-lines, the performance blew me away. The batteries unquestionably had more power than the CNHL 1300mah 6s batteries. I was genuinely surprised by the throttle that I could not hit a gate during the first 30 seconds of the flight. I was crashing more with this battery than my old batteries, and it took a while to get used to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the performance itself, the battery holds up its voltage well during the flight and does not sag. The voltage does not drop under 20 volts, even during full throttle. While cruising slowly (30-50% throttle) I can get around 4-5 minutes in flight time, and while racing hard (and crashing a lot), I can get up to 2 minutes of flight. This is better than the CNHL batteries which show <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLow Battery\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">warning in my OSD after only 30 seconds of flight. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SdjXWjmFSNo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a video of the track I was running the Tattu R-lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the Tattu R-line holds up the voltage well during the flight, at some point, the cells drop to really low voltages in the 2.5-3 volt range. The drop in voltage comes unexpectedly, and the quad will not have enough power to fly. There were many times when I was flying for 2+ minutes and then the voltage dropped and I could not fly back to land. This problem can be avoided by not pushing the batteries to the limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, the R-line performed really well, providing great performance and lots of power, while giving me enough flight time to at least finish a race.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6083&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Durability<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I got this battery, I thought it would not be durable with its lightweight. However, I was wrong. I went through many crashes, hard and small, and the only thing that broke was the heat shrink covering the batteries (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HDSEADYsusQ&amp;t=3s\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of one of my hard crashes). I was pleasantly surprised by the durability of the battery, with the shape and condition of the batteries after many crashes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way these batteries stood up was astonishing. Nonetheless, with enough crashes, there will be damage to batteries and some cells will dent making the battery out of shape.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros and Cons<\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cons<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lightweight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small size<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provides power<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Durable<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decent flight time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Balance cells<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Quality Control<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expensive<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden drops in voltage at the end of a flight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XT-60 and balance connector on the same side<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, the performance of the battery is really good. It gives you more power than many other brands in this 6s 1300mah range of lipos. The durability is decent, while the light weight and small size make this battery good for racing. However, I would not recommend this battery to everyone because of its price. At $36.99 for one lipo, it is expensive to buy multiple batteries. There are much cheaper batteries at the $30 price range which will get the job done. They are not as good as the Tattu\u2019s but the price of the batteries versus the performance makes it better than the Tattu\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would recommend buying the Tattu R-lines on sale, where the price can sometimes drop to $30!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_spacer height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_separator][ultimate_spacer height=&#8221;20&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6090&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][dt_default_button link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.getfpv.com%2Ftattu-r-line-version-3-0-1300mah-6s-120c-lipo-battery.html||target:%20_blank|&#8221; size=&#8221;medium&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;btn_center&#8221;]BUY Tattu R Line v3 6s 1300mah 120c[\/dt_default_button][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6089&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][dt_default_button link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.getfpv.com%2Fcnhl-ministar-1250mah-6s-70c-lipo-battery.html||target:%20_blank|&#8221; size=&#8221;medium&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;btn_center&#8221;]BUY CNHL MiniStar 1250mah 6s 70c[\/dt_default_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_spacer height=&#8221;20&#8243;][ultimate_spacer height=&#8221;20&#8243;][ultimate_spacer height=&#8221;20&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6088&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][dt_default_button link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.getfpv.com%2Fxilo-1250mah-6s-75c-lipo-battery.html||target:%20_blank|&#8221; size=&#8221;medium&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;btn_center&#8221;]BUY XILO 1250mAh 6s 75c[\/dt_default_button][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6087&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][dt_default_button link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.getfpv.com%2Flumenier-n2o-extreme-1350mah-6s-150c-lipo-battery.html||target:%20_blank|&#8221; size=&#8221;medium&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;btn_center&#8221;]BUY Lumenier N2O Extreme 1350mAh 6s 150c[\/dt_default_button]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tattu R-line series of batteries have been popular among many in the FPV Racing community.
