The Ultra 3.7V Ternary 1,000mAh 20×122mm is the entry cell of the 20×122mm format and the thinnest 1,000mAh in the Ultra lineup. At 22g and 5.0mm, it delivers identical performance to the 20×96mm 1,000mAh — 110A peak (110C), 60A continuous (60C), 3.70Wh — in a cell that’s 0.5mm thinner and 26mm longer. Not competing options: the 20×96mm serves compact short bays; this cell serves longer, shallower compartments where 5.5mm doesn’t fit but the extra length is available. Ceramic separator and PVDF construction ensure stability under extreme rates. Charges at 2C in ~30 minutes.

The same 110A peak and 22g as the 20×96mm 1,000mAh — in a cell that is 0.5mm thinner and 26mm longer. The 3.7V Ternary 1,000mAh delivers 110A peak and 60A continuous from a 22g, 5.0mm soft pack in the 20×122mm footprint — identical performance to the 20×96mm 1,000mAh, in a thinner profile built for the long shallow bays that the shorter format cannot fit. Built for FPV racing drones, RC aircraft, RC cars, and RC boats where the 20×122mm long shallow geometry is the fixed constraint and full 110C rate capability at minimum depth is the requirement.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Why Choose the Midlands Power 20×122mm 1,000mAh Ultra Ternary Battery?

0.5mm Thinner Than the 20×96mm 1,000mAh — Identical Performance

The 20×122mm and 20×96mm 1,000mAh cells share every performance specification exactly. The only differences are physical dimensions:

0.5mm thinner, 26mm longer — identical capacity, weight, peak rate, continuous rate, and stored energy. The choice between them is purely a question of bay geometry. For depth-constrained long bays where the 20×96mm 1,000mAh at 5.5mm does not clear, the 20×122mm delivers the full 110A peak at 5.0mm.

110A Peak at 5.0mm — Full Rate Capability at the Thinnest Available Profile

Advanced electrode material formulation delivers 110A of instantaneous peak burst current at 110C from a cell that is just 5.0mm thick and 22g — the same output as the 20×96mm 1,000mAh, in a thinner profile for shallower battery bays. For builds where depth constraints previously forced a step down to the 800mAh or a move to a different format, the 20×122mm 1,000mAh delivers the full 110A peak at the minimum available thickness across all 1,000mAh Ultra cells.

The Thinnest Cell in the 20×122mm Format — The Only Option Under 6.0mm

At 5.0mm, the 1,000mAh is the thinnest cell in the 20×122mm family — 1.0mm thinner than the 1,300mAh (6.0mm). For builds where the 20×122mm bay geometry is required but depth is constrained below 6.0mm, the 1,000mAh is the only option in this format. There is no alternative at this depth in the 20×122mm family.

For Depth-Constrained Long Bays — Where the 20×96mm Cannot Fit

The 20×122mm format exists for platforms the 20×96mm cannot serve: FPV frames and racing platforms with longer, shallower battery compartments where 5.0mm depth is available but 5.5mm does not clear; RC aircraft routing cells through fuselage channels or wing roots where depth is the binding dimension; RC car platforms with elongated battery bays where the cell sits longitudinally and depth is the critical fit parameter. For all of these applications, the 20×122mm 1,000mAh is the answer — full 110C rate capability, no performance trade-off, in the geometry the bay requires.

Entry to the 20×122mm Format — Starting Point for This Bay Geometry

The 20×122mm format contains two cells: the 1,000mAh at 5.0mm and the 1,300mAh at 6.0mm. The 1,000mAh is the entry point — the thinnest profile and lowest weight in the format. For builds where 6.0mm depth is achievable, the 1,300mAh steps up to 143A peak and 78A continuous for 5g more weight — the full capacity ceiling of the 20×122mm format. For builds where depth is strictly constrained below 6.0mm, the 1,000mAh is the only option.

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 reduces thermal runaway risk under the sustained 60A continuous load. The PVDF binder maintains electrode structural integrity throughout the full 122mm cell length under the mechanical stress of high-rate cycling, contributing to long cycle life and consistent performance across hundreds of charge-discharge cycles in demanding racing environments.

20×122mm vs. 20×96mm — Same Capacity, Different Geometry

Stepping Up to the 1,300mAh

The only step available within the 20×122mm format moves from the 1,000mAh to the 1,300mAh — adding 1.11Wh of stored energy (+30%), raising peak burst from 110A to 143A (+33A), and raising continuous from 60A to 78A (+18A), for 5g of additional weight and 1.0mm of additional thickness. No frame modification is required. For builds where 6.0mm depth is available and more current is needed, the 1,300mAh closes the format at its absolute performance ceiling.

Charging: 2C / 2.0A — Full Charge in ~30 Minutes

The 2C continuous charge rate delivers 2.0A input, fully charging the cell in approximately 30 minutes — identical charge behaviour to the 20×96mm 1,000mAh. Running multiple cells in rotation at 2C sustains back-to-back racing sessions without interruption.

Ideal Applications

FPV racing drones with shallow bays — 5.0mm thin profile fits depth-constrained frames where the 20×96mm 1,000mAh at 5.5mm does not clear.

RC aircraft with wing or fuselage channels — 20×122mm length suits elongated wing root and fuselage battery routing at minimum thickness.

RC cars with long shallow battery trays — 110A peak in a 5.0mm profile, maximum rate for long shallow battery tray formats.

RC boats with thin hull compartments — 60C / 60A continuous in a cell thin enough for shallow hull battery compartments.

Gun models with elongated battery cavities — 20×122mm length at 5.0mm fits long narrow battery cavities at the highest thin-format rate.

20×96mm 1,000mAh alternative for depth-limited builds — identical performance, choose based solely on bay geometry: short and deep versus long and shallow.

Product Summary

The Midlands Power 3.7V Ternary 20×122mm 1,000mAh delivers the same 110A peak, 60A continuous, 22g, and 3.70Wh as the 20×96mm 1,000mAh — in a 5.0mm profile that is 0.5mm thinner and 26mm longer. For depth-constrained builds in the long shallow 20×122mm bay geometry where the 20×96mm does not fit, this cell provides full 110C rate capability with no performance compromise. It is the entry point to the 20×122mm format and the thinnest 1,000mAh cell in the entire Ultra lineup.
