The battery is a 3 cells high grade Lithium-Polymer battery, with a capacity of 1,000 mAh at 11.1 volts and a discharge capacity of 10C. It includes a PCM (Protection Circuit Module) which protects the battery against over charge, over discharge and short circuits. The battery is protected by a rigid casing, and complies with UL2054 safety standards.

It has two connectors: one discharge connector to provide current to the drone, and another smaller one for balance charging. The balance charging ensures an optimal charge of each cell to provide a better capacity and longer lifetime.
