BETAFPV Lava 450mAh 3S LiHV 75C FPV Battery (XT30) – 2-Pack for Pavo20 & Pavo Pico Drones

Compact power for FPV races: BETAFPV Lava 450mAh 3S LiHV Battery 2-Pack

The Lava 450mAh 3S LiHV batteries are designed to fit tight airframes while delivering dependable power during fast laps and tight turns. Each battery measures about 63 × 15.5 × 21 mm and weighs roughly 37.8 g, keeping weight in check for smaller quads like Pavo20 and Pavo Pico frames. The XT30 connector with 16AWG silicone wire keeps wiring tidy and ready for quick swaps between sessions, while the 11.4V (3S) LiHV chemistry supplies steady voltage under load for a confident flight experience.

BETAFPV highlights a Z-Folding process for these packs, claiming roughly a 5% energy density upgrade over traditional winding methods. In practice, pilots may notice a more consistent power delivery during rapid maneuvers and a smoother throttle response when you punch through a sequence of moves. The impressive 75C C-rate supports quick bursts, which translates to snappier climbs and sharper mid-air changes in direction. Paired with LiHV chemistry, the cells tend to hold voltage more robustly under strain, potentially aiding overall flight stability across a session.

What’s in the box and how it fits your drone

• 2 × Lava 450mAh 3S LiHV batteries with XT30 plug and 16AWG silicone wire for 11.4V power
• Compact form factor: 63 × 15.5 × 21 mm; weight ~37.8 g per battery

These packs are built for 3S FPV platforms such as Pavo20 and Pavo Pico frames, as well as other 3S quads that use XT30 connectors. In real-world usage, you may experience reliable bursts during aggressive flying and a steady fold of power across a race lap, reducing the need for frequent pack swaps while chasing consistent performance.

Practical care and flight-ready tips

• Charge with a charger designed for LiPo/Li-ion packs, and never leave a charging battery unattended
• Avoid discharging below 3V per cell under load; store long-term between 3.8V and 3.9V per cell

In short, BETAFPV’s Lava 450mAh 3S LiHV batteries offer a compact two-pack solution with a strong emphasis on energy density, high-power bursts, and practical compatibility for popular 3S FPV frames. While individual results depend on your drone setup and flying style, the combination of a lightweight build, robust C-rate, and versatile XT30 wiring makes these packs a compelling option for pilots seeking reliable, on-course power for practice and competition alike.
