Runtime evidence · sourced load
Drone batteries draw 65 W while running. 77 stations clear the capacity, inverter, and startup checks at that load.
01 · Runtime ladder
Nominal capacity × depth of discharge × inverter efficiency ÷ sourced average draw.
| Capacity class | Estimated runtime | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 300 Whstep 1 | 3.5 hr | Drone battery (one charge) load · 2026-07-06 |
| 500 Whstep 2 | 5.9 hr | Drone battery (one charge) load · 2026-07-06 |
| 1,000 Whstep 3 | 11.8 hr | Drone battery (one charge) load · 2026-07-06 |
| 2,000 Whstep 4 | 23.5 hr | Drone battery (one charge) load · 2026-07-06 |
These are comparison projections, not a promise. Temperature, inverter behavior, cycling, and the individual station's measured delivered capacity can change real runtime.

Easy-carry fit
Why it fits
3.5 kg, 11.5 kg below the 15 kg preferred limit
Main compromise
0.5 kg heavier than the lightest eligible model (76 of 77 eligible models have this sourced value)
Best all-round fit
Why it fits
71.1 BatteryRank score — the highest of any station that fits this plan
Main compromise
8.6 points below the highest-scoring eligible model (75 of 77 eligible models have this sourced value)
Extended runtime
Why it fits
99.4 projected runtime hours
Main compromise
1,186.1 hours less projected runtime than the longest-running eligible model across 77 eligible models
