6s or 5s lipo usage with Naza or WKM

[john420]

i have a question if i build a hexa copter with wokong M or Naza and RC timer motor and ESC and as I read they all support 6s lipo is there any problem not to use and when to use 6s or 5s if your ESC and MOTor support it just wondering why people mostly try to use 4s or 3s is that has to do some thing with the weight or anything else thanks

A lot of folks running WKM or A2 use 6S batteries. Heck, the dji S800 and S800 Evo both use 6S batteries.

IIRC, the Naza-M V1 didn't support 5-6S; the Naza-M V2 does, but most folks that are flying large enough craft for 6S motors seem to prefer to use WKM/A2. Some folk seem to think that the Naza-M V2 might not work well on larger craft. People flying smaller craft generally use smaller motors, which in turn use 3S or 4S batteries.

Myself...well...Currently, my Vulcan Skyhook 900 Y6 is using a Naza-M V2 carrying two 6S 5000mAh batteries. It flies just fine.
