Description
The Volt Ternary/LCO 22,000mAh is the flagship of its series, delivering 81.4Wh in a 403g, 10.4mm design using the 87×187mm footprint. It offers 37.5% more energy and higher burst output than the 16k, with strong low-temperature performance. It supports 2C fast charging (~30 minutes) and is built with AI precision manufacturing for consistency and reliability.
- 25C Peak Discharge — 550A Burst
Advanced electrode material formulation and structural design deliver 550A of instantaneous burst current — 37.5% more than the 16,000mAh cell (400A) — handling the heaviest payloads, steepest climb demands, and most power-intensive flight events in the Ternary/LCO lineup. The blended Ternary/LCO cathode maintains a low temperature rise under high-rate discharge, keeping thermal load on cell and airframe lower than HV chemistry variants at equivalent current output.
- Flagship of the Ternary/LCO Family — Maximum Capacity
The 22,000mAh is the highest-capacity cell in the Volt Ternary/LCO series. There is no larger variant in this chemistry — the 22,000mAh is the ceiling. For operators who have built around the 3.7V Ternary/LCO platform across the 10,000mAh, 12,000mAh, and 16,000mAh cells and need the longest possible flight time in this chemistry, this is the definitive choice. It stores 81.4Wh — more than double the energy of the 10k entry cell (37Wh) — on the same voltage platform and with the same discharge characteristics.
- New Footprint — 87×187mm
The 22,000mAh is the only Ternary/LCO cell in the Volt family that requires the 87×187mm bay. The 10,000mAh, 12,000mAh, and 16,000mAh all fit within the 72×170mm or 68×162mm formats. Moving to the 22,000mAh means a frame bay upgrade — but within the 87×187mm format it is thinner (10.4mm) than both the 3.8V HV Ternary 22,000mAh (10.5mm) and, notably, the 3.8V HV Li-Co 28k (11.6mm), giving it a low-profile fit relative to other high-capacity cells at this footprint.
- 37.5% More Energy Than the 16k — One Step Up
Stepping up from the 16,000mAh adds 22.2Wh of stored energy and increases peak burst from 400A to 550A — both at exactly +37.5% — for 108g of additional weight and a footprint change from 72×170mm to 87×187mm. For operators evaluating whether the frame bay upgrade is justified: the 22,000mAh delivers the most energy available in the Ternary/LCO chemistry, and at 10.4mm it fits the 87×187mm bay thinner than any comparable 22,000mAh HV variant.
- 200 WH/KG — 81.4Wh at 403g
The blended Ternary/LCO cathode stores 81.4Wh at 200WH/KG — the most stored energy of any cell in the Ternary/LCO family. While 200WH/KG is lower than the 240WH/KG of the HV Li-Co variants, the 3.7V platform delivers characteristics the HV chemistries do not: lower temperature rise under sustained high-rate discharge, a 3.5V safe cutoff that provides a wider usable discharge window than HV Li-Co (3.6V) or HV Ternary (3.3V raises reverse concerns at deep discharge), and stable, consistent voltage behaviour through the full discharge curve.
- 2C Charge — 44A Input, ~30 Min Full Charge
Standard 2C continuous charge delivers 44A input, fully charging the cell in approximately 30 minutes. Consistent with every cell in the Ternary/LCO family, the 2C rate reflects the blended cathode chemistry’s prioritisation of stable cycling and controlled thermal behaviour during charge. Two cells in rotation sustain continuous field operations without interruption.
- AI Vision Stacking
Fully automated production line with AI-guided vision stacking ensures precise internal layer alignment and structural integrity across the full 87×187mm footprint — maintaining cell-to-cell consistency and reliable safety behaviour across every production batch at this highest-capacity Ternary/LCO format.
