Description

The absolute ceiling of the 30×48mm format — maximum energy, maximum peak current, and maximum continuous output in this bay. The 3.7V Ternary 1,100mAh delivers 143A peak and 66A continuous from a 33g, 9.6mm soft pack in the 30×48mm footprint — the highest capacity, highest energy, and highest current the 30×48mm format delivers across every specification simultaneously. Built for FPV racing drones, compact RC cars, RC aircraft, and RC boats where the 30×48mm bay is fixed and the 850mAh’s 110A peak ceiling is the binding constraint.

 

Key Specifications at a Glance

Why Choose the Midlands Power 1,100mAh Ultra Ternary Battery?

143A Peak — The Maximum Burst Current the 30×48mm Format Delivers

Advanced electrode material formulation and the 30×48mm wide-format geometry deliver 143A of instantaneous peak burst current at 130C — the absolute maximum peak output available in the 30×48mm footprint. Against both lower-capacity cells in the same bay:

• 33A more than the 850mAh (110A)
• 78A more than the 500mAh (65A)

For motor and ESC combinations requiring peak draws above 110A within the 30×48mm format, the 1,100mAh is the only cell in this footprint that delivers it. There is no higher peak current available in this bay.

 

29.2% More Energy Than the 850mAh — Maximum in the 30×48mm Format

Stepping from the 850mAh to the 1,100mAh adds 0.92Wh of stored energy (+29.2%) and raises peak burst from 110A to 143A (+30.0%) — for 7g of additional weight and 2.0mm of additional thickness in the same 30×48mm bay. All three steps in the format compared:

At 4.07Wh, the 1,100mAh stores more energy than any other cell in the 30×48mm format — the absolute ceiling of what this bay geometry delivers in stored energy. For racing runs where the 850mAh’s 3.15Wh falls short of the required mission duration, the 1,100mAh extends run time by approximately 29% from the same frame bay.

 

66A Continuous — The Highest Sustained Output in the 30×48mm Family

At 60C continuous from 1,100mAh, this cell delivers 66A of sustained output — the highest continuous current available in the 30×48mm family:

• 15A more than the 850mAh (51A)
• 36A more than the 500mAh (30A)

For motor setups that sustain high current draws during cruise and racing conditions rather than relying solely on peak bursts, the 66A continuous rating provides meaningful headroom over both lower-capacity cells in the family throughout the full racing run.

 

The Ceiling of the 30×48mm Format — No Higher Capacity Exists in This Bay

The 1,100mAh is the highest capacity available in the 30×48mm footprint. There is no higher capacity, no higher peak current, and no higher continuous output in this bay. Moving above 1,100mAh requires transitioning to a different format — the 34×62mm starting at 1,300mAh or the 34×96mm starting at 2,200mAh. For any build where the 30×48mm bay is fixed by frame design or structural constraints, the 1,100mAh is the definitive and only endpoint.

 

143A at 130C — More C-Rating Headroom Than the 20×122mm 1,300mAh at the Same Output

The 30×48mm 1,100mAh and the 20×122mm 1,300mAh both deliver exactly 143A peak current — the same absolute output from different C-ratings and different bay geometries:

At 130C versus 110C, the 30×48mm cell reaches the same 143A absolute output with proportionally more C-rating headroom above its rated ceiling than the 20×122mm does at 110C. The decision between them is entirely a question of bay geometry — not a performance hierarchy.

 

Ceramic Separator and PVDF Electrode — Racing-Grade Construction at the Format Ceiling

Industry-first ceramic separator and PVDF electrode construction deliver thermal resistance and structural integrity at the highest output levels the 30×48mm format produces. At 130C peak and 143A output from a 33g cell — the simultaneous ceiling of both peak current and stored energy in this format — the ceramic separator’s thermal performance is at its most critical application across the entire 30×48mm family. The PVDF binder sustains electrode structural integrity at the maximum current and energy levels the format reaches, contributing to long cycle life and consistent performance across hundreds of high-rate charge-discharge cycles in competitive racing environments.

 

Full 30×48mm Format Comparison

Same Peak Current — 143A Across Formats

Stepping Up From the 850mAh

Moving from the 850mAh to the 1,100mAh in the same 30×48mm bay adds 0.92Wh of stored energy (+29.2%), raises peak burst from 110A to 143A (+33A), and raises continuous from 51A to 66A (+15A) — for 7g of additional weight and 2.0mm of additional thickness. No frame modification is required. This closes the 30×48mm format at its absolute performance ceiling across every specification it measures.

 

Charging: 2C / 2.2A — Full Charge in ~30 Minutes

The 2C continuous charge rate delivers 2.2A input — the highest absolute charge current in the 30×48mm family — fully charging the cell in approximately 30 minutes. Running multiple cells in rotation at 2C sustains back-to-back racing sessions at the maximum energy level the 30×48mm format delivers without interruption.

 

Ideal Applications

FPV racing drones with wide short bays — 130C / 143A peak, the maximum current and energy the 30×48mm format delivers for competitive FPV builds.

Compact RC cars requiring maximum current — 143A peak and 66A continuous in the 30×48mm format, the ceiling for wide short RC car battery bays.

RC aircraft with compact wide fuselage bays — 4.07Wh at 33g in the 30×48mm format for builds with wider, shorter battery compartments requiring maximum run time.

RC boats with short hull battery compartments — 66A continuous, the highest sustained output within the 30×48mm compact hull format.

850mAh upgrade builds — same 30×48mm bay, 29.2% more energy, 30.0% more peak current, for 7g and 2.0mm, no frame modification required.

Builds requiring 143A peak in a wide short format — the only 30×48mm cell delivering 143A, for motor and ESC combinations exceeding the 850mAh’s 110A ceiling.

 

Product Summary

The Midlands Power 3.7V Ternary 1,100mAh closes the 30×48mm format at its absolute performance ceiling: 143A peak — the maximum burst current the format produces — 66A continuous, and 4.07Wh of stored energy, all from a 33g, 9.6mm cell that requires no frame modification from the 850mAh. For competitive racing builds fixed to the 30×48mm bay where 110A peak is insufficient, there is nothing above this cell in the format.
