Buying Guide: Tattu R-Line V6 1480mAh 6S 160C SQ LiPo Battery
The Tattu R-Line V6 1480mAh 6S 160C SQ LiPo battery is designed for pilots who want responsive power from a 5-inch 6S racing or freestyle drone without moving to a heavier endurance pack. Its short, wide SQ shape concentrates the battery mass near the centre of the frame, while the 1480mAh capacity provides a practical balance between agility and usable flight time.
MEPSKING Expert Review
Our expert assessment combines the official specifications with the supplied independent discharge-test footage. In that test, a V6 1480mAh SQ sample weighed approximately 221.7g and delivered 1.485Ah during a 15C constant-power discharge. It also maintained roughly 0.4V more pack voltage than the previous V5 pack across much of the discharge curve.
From a pilot's perspective, these results indicate sharper throttle response, less noticeable voltage softening during repeated acceleration and a more consistent feel near the end of a racing lap. Compared with the heavier V5 1480mAh sample used in the same independent testing, V6 is the more attractive choice for pilots who value power-to-weight ratio.
Tattu R-Line V6 SQ vs ST
| Buying Factor | 1480mAh SQ | 1480mAh ST |
|---|
| Dimensions | 69.5 × 42 × 36.5mm | 77 × 37.5 × 36.5mm |
| Listed Weight | Approximately 220g | Approximately 220g |
| Pack Shape | Shorter and wider | Longer and narrower |
| Best Choice | Compact top plates and a centred mass | Narrow top plates and flexible fore-aft placement |
Choose this SQ version when your frame can accommodate its 42mm width and you want the pack positioned closer to the drone's centre. Choose the Tattu R-Line V6 1480mAh ST battery when the top plate is longer but narrower. For more flight time, consider the Tattu R-Line V6 1600mAh 6S SQ battery if your build can accept the additional weight.
What Does the 160C Rating Mean?
The 160C label identifies this as a high-output performance pack, but it should not be interpreted as a recommendation to draw 236.8A continuously. Independent extreme-current testing showed that the XT60 connector can become the thermal limitation before the cells. Select motors, propellers and an ESC according to measured current, and check the battery lead, XT60 and pack temperature after initial flights.
Fit, Charging and Installation
Confirm that your power system supports a fully charged 6S voltage of 25.2V. Measure the top plate before ordering, place the battery on an anti-slip pad and use two straps where the frame permits. Keep the XT60 lead and balance connector away from the propellers. Unless the battery label specifies otherwise, balance-charge conservatively at up to 1C, approximately 1.48A, allow the pack to cool before charging and store it near 3.8V per cell when it will not be used soon.
Final Recommendation
Buy the Tattu R-Line V6 1480mAh 6S 160C SQ battery if you fly a compatible 5-inch 6S racing or high-performance freestyle build and prioritize low voltage sag, rapid throttle response and centred battery placement. Choose a larger 1600mAh pack for additional flight time or the ST version when frame width is the limiting factor.
