Bonka 11.1V 2200mAh 35C 3S LiPo Battery, XT60 Connector

Bonka has built a solid reputation in the RC and drone community specifically for consistent cell quality and genuinely accurate discharge ratings, at a time when inflated C-ratings from lesser-known battery brands are a common frustration for pilots. This 2200mAh 3S pack delivers 11.1V nominal voltage from its three cells in series, a standard configuration for mid-size drones, RC cars, and other builds that have outgrown smaller 2S packs but don't yet need the higher voltage of a 4S or 6S setup.

Continuous discharge is rated at 35C, working out to 77A continuous current draw, with burst discharge reaching 70C (154A) for brief high-demand moments like aggressive throttle punches or rapid directional changes. That combination of real continuous capacity and genuine burst headroom matters for builds pushing harder maneuvers, where a battery with an optimistic but unreliable C-rating can sag voltage dangerously under load exactly when power is needed most.

Connector setup follows current RC industry standards: an XT60 connector handles the main discharge current, a connector size properly matched to this pack's power delivery capability without being needlessly oversized, while a separate JST-XH balance connector allows a standard balance charger to monitor and charge each individual cell evenly, extending pack life and maintaining safety margins across all three cells rather than just the pack as a whole. Physical dimensions are a compact 2.5 x 3.4 x 10.5cm at 175g, fitting the typical mounting space on mid-size multirotor and RC builds.

Builders and pilots needing a dependable 3S battery with genuinely trustworthy discharge ratings for a mid-size drone, RC car, or similar build will find Bonka's reputation for consistency a meaningful factor over unknown or unbranded alternatives at a similar price point.
