Turnigy APEX 1500mAh 8S 29.6V 180C LiPo Battery with XT60 for 5 inch FPV Drone and Planes
"HobbyKing has pushed the boundaries of RC power—from the legendary Blue series to the durable, low-IR of Graphene, and the relentless, hard-hitting delivery of the Rapid.
Now, it’s time to ascend to the absolute peak of RC performance. Welcome to APEX.
Engineered specifically for the brutal demands of modern FPV drone racing, freestyle, and high-speed RC flight, the APEX series introduces a boxy, near-square cell architecture. Designed to sit perfectly under FPV frames or aircraft fuselages, APEX optimizes your center of gravity while maximizing power density.
At the heart of APEX is a pure Cobalt formulation paired with Z-Fold structure. This eliminates the internal resistance bottlenecks found in traditional rolled cells, delivering 180C discharge rate. The APEX maintain rock-solid voltage stability when you punch the throttle hard.
Available in versatile capacities from 1100mAh to 4000mAh and configurations spanning 4S to 8S, APEX is the definitive power source for pilots who refuse to compromise."
Turnigy APEX FPV LiPo Battery Series: 180C Pure Cobalt Performance
The Turnigy APEX Series is the next iteration of FPV drone power, building on the legacy of the Turnigy NanoTech, Graphene, and Rapid battery lines.
Designed for FPV drone racing, freestyle quads, and high-performance RC aircraft, the APEX series introduces Pure Cobalt LiPo chemistry and Z-Fold cell technology. This combination provides an ultra-high 180C discharge rate, low internal resistance (IR), and stable voltage under heavy throttle load.
From lightweight 4S packs for 5-inch freestyle builds to high-voltage 8S setups for professional cinema rigs, Turnigy APEX delivers reliable, high-draw performance.
180C Discharge Rate
The APEX 1500mAh 8S LiPo delivers execllent performance. Built for aggressive throttle changes and rapid acceleration. The 180C rating ensures consistent punch-out power without voltage sag during demanding FPV maneuvers.
Low Internal Resistance (IR)
Low IR keeps your voltage curve flat under load. This provides smoother motor response, cooler operating temperatures, and sustained power from start to finish.
Optimized for 5-Inch Quads
Achieves a high capacity-to-weight ratio tailored for 5-inch FPV racing and freestyle setups. Thanks to its shorty and nearly square design, the APEX battery sits flush on your drone, minimizing the chances of overhang.

Field-Ready Durability
Constructed with flexible high-strand silicone leads, a genuine AMASS plug, and a heavy-duty outer protective wrap to withstand daily flight use and impact vibration.
Compatibility
Perfect for 5-inch racers, freestyle quads, long-range FPV, RC aircraft, and other high-performance applications.

⚠️ Pre-Purchase Checklist & LiPo Safety
Check your drone frame dimensions, weight, and mounting space before purchase. Suggested frame sizes are for reference only.
Always use a proper LiPo balance charger. Never leave charging batteries unattended.
Telemetry: FPV flight drains voltage rapidly. Use a telemetry voltage sensor or OSD to monitor real-time cell voltage and avoid over-discharging.
Storage: Store batteries at a safe storage voltage (~3.8V to 3.85V per cell) in a cool, fireproof location when not in use.
