Al In A Battery?! Tattu R-Line V5.0 | MaiOnHigh
Now who doesn’t like some new goodies huh? What I have here for you today is the brand new tattu V5.0, released on 8th of June. So consider this here a box of freshly baked buns…
I actually got the tattu V5.0 a bit before the release and had some time to play with them beforehand. Now as always, for your convenience - this video is split into parts, which you can find on the timeline. So jump to whichever part interests you most.
Let’s start with what’s new because… what new can tattu put into a battery? Turns out the answer is - a lot.
The new V5.0 is equipped in Al Boehmite, which is used on the battery cells. Now I know… it sounds weird so let me come with some explenation. Because what is the AI Boehmite!? Is it a chip? A tech!? I mean it’s AI! (I bet you read this as Artificial Intelligence, don’t you?) Let me put you back to the planet earth as this is Al… Aluminum…
Boehmite is a high-temperature resistant aluminum oxide-hydroxide. The functional filler is used as a carrier material for catalytic converters or as a flame retardant in printed circuit boards.
If you are interested in this topic - I’m linking you a nice study about the topic in the description below, but generally it is a promising technology for lithium ion batteries used as a separator.

But I will long story short it for you: Meaning it’s generally used in the high-temperature systems. Which LiPo batteries are. I bet you have flown your quad once or twice hard enough to warm up your hands with those. It also allows more consistent power output across the cells and the consistency between the cells.
Which in even easier words means: NO SAG
The discharge platform of the V5.0 gives you 5-10 sec of more flight time considering hard push in race conditions.
No changes in weight, probably due to adding Boehmite.
The battery performance does not decay at all even after 15+ flights close up (and we are talking some racing situations here)
Improved PVC heat-shrink which is more resistant
Sounds overwhelming? Maybe. But how does it perform?
I cannot really show you anything that would say yay or nay for this battery when it goes to my flights. Mostly because I’d use the best parts of the flight anyway, which basically proves no point. The experience will obviously vary from pilot to pilot. Racing pilots may use and abuse those batteries differently and get different results. Also, be sure that you are taking care of your batteries as much as you can, and if you are not sure how - here’s the video I have made some time ago about prolonging your LiPo battery life.
This is why out of my personal experience I can say that compared with my V4.0 I do feel less sag, especially after using and abusing them for a while. I am sure that those will last you for a while if you will take good care of them and will remain high-performance for all of my racing pilots out there, which btw… Are you following June’s calendar?
Anyway… That’s all that I wanted to say about those batteries, the links to the stores that have them available are down below in the description box, so feel free to check them out! I’m gonna try to use it on my long range quad soon but shhh…
What do you think should be the next big thing in the FPV Battery world? What would you want in your batteries? Let me know in the comments!
