Description
The most weight-efficient step in the 34×62mm format — 5g and 0.9mm for 15.4% more performance. The 3.7V Ternary 1,500mAh delivers 195A peak and 90A continuous from a 38g, 8.0mm soft pack in the 34×62mm footprint — the first Ultra cell to cross the 90A continuous threshold, and the most physically economical upgrade available in the 34×62mm family. Built for mid-size FPV racing drones, RC cars, RC aircraft, and RC boats where the 1,300mAh’s 169A peak ceiling is the binding constraint and minimum additional weight is the priority.

Why Choose the Midlands Power 1,500mAh Ultra Ternary Battery?
Most Weight-Efficient Step in the 34×62mm Format — +5g and +0.9mm for +15.4% Performance
The 1,500mAh is the most physically economical capacity upgrade in the 34×62mm family. All three steps in the format compared:
| Step | Weight Added | Thickness Added | Energy Gained | Peak Gained |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,300mAh → 1,500mAh | +5g | +0.9mm | +15.4% | +26A |
| 1,500mAh → 2,000mAh | +12g | +2.7mm | +33.3% | +65A |
The step to the 1,500mAh costs 7g less and 1.8mm less than the step to the 2,000mAh. For builds where the 2,000mAh’s 50g and 10.7mm exceed the platform’s weight and depth budget, the 1,500mAh delivers meaningful performance gain at the lowest possible physical cost within this format.
195A Peak — First Ultra Cell to Cross 190A Instantaneous Current
Advanced electrode material formulation and the 34×62mm wide-format geometry deliver 195A of instantaneous peak burst current at 130C — the highest absolute peak current of any Ultra cell across all formats up to and including this capacity tier. Against the entire smaller-format Ultra range:
- 26A more than the 34×62mm 1,300mAh (169A)
- 52A more than the 30×48mm 1,100mAh and 20×122mm 1,300mAh (143A)
- 85A more than the highest peak of any 20×96mm Ultra cell (110A)
195A is a level no cell in the 20-series, 30×48mm, or lower 34×62mm format reaches regardless of capacity. For motor and ESC combinations calibrated to draw above 169A peak, the 1,500mAh is the first cell in the entire Ultra lineup that clears that threshold.
90A Continuous — The First Ultra Cell to Sustain 90A
At 60C continuous from 1,500mAh, this cell delivers 90A of sustained output — crossing the 90A continuous threshold for the first time across all Ultra cells in the 20-series, 30×48mm, and 34×62mm 1,300mAh. The progression to this point:
| Cell | Continuous |
|---|---|
| 30×48mm 1,100mAh | 66A |
| 34×62mm 1,300mAh | 78A |
| 34×62mm 1,500mAh | 90A |
| 34×62mm 2,000mAh | 120A |
For motor setups sustaining current draws approaching or holding 90A during racing conditions, every smaller-format and lower-capacity Ultra cell falls short. The 1,500mAh is the entry point in the Ultra lineup that meets this requirement, at just 38g and 8.0mm.
15.4% More Energy Than the 1,300mAh — For Just 5g and 0.9mm
Stepping from the 1,300mAh to the 1,500mAh adds 0.74Wh of stored energy (+15.4%) and raises peak burst from 169A to 195A (+26A) — for just 5g of additional weight and 0.9mm of additional thickness in the same 34×62mm bay. No frame modification is required. For any build currently running the 1,300mAh where the 169A peak ceiling or 78A continuous limit is the binding performance constraint, the 1,500mAh is the direct, same-bay upgrade at the minimum possible physical cost within this format.
The Only 34×62mm Cell Between 8.0mm and 10.6mm Depth
At 8.0mm, the 1,500mAh is the sole cell in the 34×62mm format fitting bays too deep for the 1,300mAh (7.1mm) to be the constraint but too shallow for the 2,000mAh (10.7mm). For depth-constrained builds where the 2,000mAh is ruled out by bay depth and the 1,300mAh is insufficient in performance, the 1,500mAh is the only option in this footprint — there is no alternative at this depth in the 34×62mm family.
Ceramic Separator and PVDF Electrode — Racing-Grade Construction
Industry-first ceramic separator and PVDF electrode construction deliver thermal resistance and structural integrity at the demanding output levels of competitive racing. The ceramic separator maintains safety under 195A peak events — the highest peak current in the Ultra lineup to this tier. The PVDF binder sustains electrode structural integrity through the combined stress of 90A continuous discharge and 195A peak events, contributing to long cycle life and consistent performance across hundreds of high-rate charge-discharge cycles in demanding racing environments.

When the 1,500mAh Is the Right Choice
The 1,500mAh is the correct cell within the 34×62mm format when three conditions apply.
The 1,300mAh is insufficient — its 169A peak or 78A continuous does not meet the motor and ESC configuration’s requirements.
The 2,000mAh is too much — its 50g and 10.7mm exceed the platform’s weight or depth budget, or bay depth is available to 8.0mm but not 10.7mm.
Minimum additional weight is the priority — at just +5g and +0.9mm over the 1,300mAh, the 1,500mAh is the smallest possible physical step to meaningful performance gain in this format.
Stepping Up From the 1,300mAh
Moving from the 1,300mAh to the 1,500mAh in the same 34×62mm bay adds 0.74Wh of stored energy (+15.4%), raises peak burst from 169A to 195A (+26A), and raises continuous from 78A to 90A (+12A) — for just 5g of additional weight and 0.9mm of additional thickness. No frame modification is required. This is the most weight-efficient and thickness-efficient single capacity upgrade available within the 34×62mm format.
Charging: 2C / 3.0A — Full Charge in ~30 Minutes
The 2C continuous charge rate delivers 3.0A input — the highest absolute charge current in the 34×62mm format at mid-capacity — fully charging the cell in approximately 30 minutes. Running multiple cells in rotation at 2C sustains back-to-back racing sessions at the mid-range energy level of the 34×62mm format without interruption.
Ideal Applications
Mid-size FPV racing drones — 130C / 195A peak at 38g, the most efficient weight step to 195A in the 34×62mm mid-size format.
RC cars with standard mid-size battery trays — 195A peak and 90A continuous for motor setups requiring current above the 1,300mAh’s 169A ceiling.
RC aircraft with wider mid-size fuselage bays — 5.55Wh at 38g in the 34×62mm footprint for medium-scale racing aircraft requiring above 169A peak.
RC boats with mid-size hull compartments — 90A continuous, the first Ultra cell sustaining above 90A for hull motor configurations exceeding the 1,300mAh’s limit.
1,300mAh upgrade builds — same 34×62mm bay, 15.4% more energy, 26A more peak, 12A more continuous, for just 5g and 0.9mm, no frame modification required.
Depth-constrained 34×62mm builds — at 8.0mm, the only cell in the format between 7.1mm and 10.7mm for bays ruling out the 2,000mAh.
Product Summary
The Midlands Power 3.7V Ternary 1,500mAh occupies the mid-capacity position of the 34×62mm format with a clear purpose: the most weight-efficient upgrade in the family, the first Ultra cell sustaining 90A continuously, and the only option between 8.0mm and 10.6mm depth in this footprint. At 195A peak, 90A continuous, and 5.55Wh in 38g — just 5g and 0.9mm more than the 1,300mAh — it delivers everything the entry cell cannot at the minimum physical cost the format allows.
