Buying batteries for a whoop

Whoop LiPos are small, so connector and capacity matter more than brand. BT2.0 is the current standard for 1S whoops. LiPos ship surface-only in India, which is why checkout asks you to acknowledge it.

Check before you buy

• Connector that matches your board (BT2.0 or PH2.0).
• Capacity your frame can carry: 300 mAh for 65 mm, 450–550 mAh for 75 mm.
• Enough packs for a session: four is a good start, so one charges while you fly.

How many batteries should I buy?

Four to six. Each 1S pack gives roughly 3–5 minutes, and with a parallel board you can charge several at once.

Why do LiPos take longer to ship?

Indian courier rules allow lithium batteries by surface transport only, not air. Expect a few extra days.
