Overview
About CNHL MiniStar 1500mAh 6S 120C LiPo.
The CNHL MiniStar 1500mAh 6S 120C is a versatile lithium-polymer pack for 5-inch FPV freestyle and racing drones that run on the 6S standard. Six cells in series deliver a 22.2V nominal voltage, and the 1500mAh capacity offers a useful step up in flight time over smaller 1300mAh packs while remaining manageable in weight.
Rated at 120C continuous discharge, the MiniStar pushes high sustained current with good voltage stability, giving consistent punch through fast manoeuvres and power loops. The pack ships with a pre-installed XT60 connector and a JST-XH balance lead, and its 6S architecture keeps operating current lower than an equivalent 4S setup, helping electronics run cooler. The MiniStar line is positioned as CNHL's well-rounded everyday series, balancing performance, durability and value.
This pack suits pilots who want slightly more endurance than a 1300mAh 6S pack without moving to a much heavier battery: long freestyle lines, racing, and general sport FPV flying. It is a dependable daily-driver for 5-inch 6S builds where the extra capacity buys a bit more time in the air.

Buying guide
How to choose.
Make sure your quad is set up for 6S before choosing this pack: the 22.2V nominal voltage requires a 6S-rated flight controller and ESCs. The MiniStar 1500mAh sits between a light 1300mAh racing pack and heavier high-capacity packs, making it a balanced choice for pilots who want a little more flight time without a big weight penalty.
At 120C continuous, this pack delivers solid, stable power for 5-inch freestyle and racing. If you fly very aggressively and chase maximum punch, a 130C pack will sag slightly less, but for most pilots the MiniStar's combination of capacity and discharge is more than adequate. Charge through the JST-XH balance lead and stay within the rated 5C charge limit.
Keep a few packs in rotation so you always have a charged battery ready while others cool. Store at roughly 3.8V per cell when idle for several days, inspect packs for any swelling before flying, and use a fireproof bag for storage and transport to protect both the cells and your workspace.
FAQ
Common questions.
How is the MiniStar different from the Black Series?
The MiniStar is CNHL's well-rounded everyday line, while the Black Series targets the highest discharge ratings. This MiniStar pack is rated 120C continuous versus 130C on the Black Series, but it offers a larger 1500mAh capacity in 6S, trading a little peak punch for extra flight time.
What craft is the 1500mAh 6S MiniStar best for?
It suits 5-inch 6S FPV freestyle and racing quads, especially pilots who want more flight time than a 1300mAh pack provides. The extra capacity adds a bit of weight, so very weight-sensitive racers may still prefer a smaller pack.
What connector does it use?
The pack ships with a pre-soldered XT60 discharge connector and a JST-XH balance lead. XT60 is the standard for most 6S FPV builds, so it usually connects directly to your quad, and the balance lead works with any common balance charger.
How much does it weigh?
The pack weighs around 283 g including its wire and connector, and measures roughly 56.5 x 34 x 78 mm. That is heavier than a 1300mAh 6S pack, reflecting the larger 1500mAh capacity, so factor the added weight into your build's handling.
What charge rate should I use?
CNHL rates the pack at up to 5C charging, but charging at 1C to 2C is gentler and extends cell life for everyday use. Always balance-charge through the JST-XH lead, use a quality charger, and never leave a charging pack unattended.
How should I store and care for it?
Store the pack at about 3.8V per cell if you will not fly for several days, and keep it cool and dry in a fireproof LiPo bag. Check for any puffing or damage before each flight, and avoid leaving it fully charged or fully discharged for long periods.
