Product Description
The 8S version combines a 29.6V nominal platform with 16Ah capacity. Its reference body is 190 x 83 x 97mm, making thickness and connector clearance useful starting points for aircraft integration. Review the 33.6V charging endpoint alongside the controller limits; a similar-looking 12S battery is not an interchangeable option.
Check the 8S installation space
An 8S 16Ah LiPo battery needs room for more than the blue block. Here the body is 190mm long, 83mm wide and up to 97mm thick. Measure the aircraft compartment in the installed orientation, then allow a supported route for the 130mm power leads. The listed 2650g reference mass also belongs in the balance calculation.

Dimensions and connections
Technical views based on the dimensions in this product specification. Open either drawing to inspect the vector detail.
Match the charger to 29.6V nominal
The 29.6V 16000mAh drone battery follows a 33.6V normal charging profile. Charging at the standard 8A differs from using the 16A maximum listed in the sheet. Select the charge setting with the battery’s temperature and approved procedure in view, especially where fast turnaround is part of the mission.
Read the high-rate figures with their conditions
For this 8S high discharge battery, 25C is listed at 15–45°C. The separate 100C pulse statement applies for no more than one second at 25–45°C. Neither statement establishes continuous capability through every plug and cable. Specify the actual load duration and obtain approval of the complete power path.
Freeze the ordered connector variant
The JS1180165-Q6 battery drawing names XT90-S and 8AWG power leads, whereas the BOM uses the shorter XT90 name. Confirm the anti-spark variant and mating part. The balancing connection is a nine-position JST-XH with 22AWG wire and a 75 ± 10mm lead; it is separate from the two main conductors.
Related production and handling
The production reference shows a batch of pouch assemblies with power leads. It provides manufacturing context; the nine-position balance connection for this 8S order is defined by its own drawing.
Discuss the Sample and Order
Ask New Journey for an 8S 16Ah configuration review with the tray drawing and controller limits attached. Confirm connector orientation and lead clearance before agreeing the sample quantity.

FAQ
What does the pulse rating mean?
The source restricts its 100C pulse statement to one second or less at 25–45°C. It is separate from the 25C figure and cannot be used as a continuous-current value.
Which connector should be ordered?
Confirm the XT90-S anti-spark variant shown on the drawing, including mating part and polarity. The shorter XT90 wording in the BOM needs to be reconciled.
What should an 8S sample enquiry include?
Provide the 29.6V aircraft platform, charger limits, space for the 97mm-thick body and the measured mission current. Add the required sample quantity for pricing.
Is lead time fixed on this page?
No schedule is established by the specification. New Journey confirms availability, build scope and shipping requirements when quoting the requested quantity.
