    Hello,

    I am planning to build a drone with below components
    1) A2212/13 KV1000 Brushless Motor BLDC Hex Rotor

    2) ESC 30 A Brushless Motor Speed Controller by REES52.com

    3) Arduino Mega controller

    Will the bellow batter work for all the components ?

    I am beginner so pardon me if I am asking a very basic question.

    You didn't mention the frame size, those motors work well with 1045 propellers (10 inch), so keep that in mind. I would also go for a larger LiPo, maybe 2200 to 2800mAh. You need to get at least 2 LiPos, so you can get some flight time and just in case one goes bad.

    So it seems you are probably thinking of building a 350mm or bigger. Like mentioned above a larger battery will work great. Something like a 2800 mah will be perfect, now depending on the components you want to add for video, LEDs and such. Two batteries might be needed for sure for a bigger quad and some decent flight time. Remember to buy yourself a a battery buzzer and set it for 3.6v per cell. When it reaches this level you know to bring your quad back safely and turn it off, this way your battery will last you a long time. Never store your battery full charged. Good luck out there and happy flying bud!

    3.4 is good. I have mines right at 3.6 and once I hear that loud beeping, its definitely time to bring it back down lol. That gives me time so that if I am far I know I still got time to bring it back safely. I also have a timer on my Radio that warns me when the battery is running low.
    Great deal is that my batteries love it. They last for ever!
