BLHeli Series 80A Brushless ESC - Professional Heavy-Lift Speed Controller

Specifications

• Continuous Current: 80A

• Burst Current (10s): 100A

• Input Voltage (LiPo): 2S to 6S (7.4V -22.2V)

• UBEC Output: 5V,5A (High-Efficiency Switching)

• Firmware: BLHeli Series

• Motor Connection: Three heavy-duty pre-tinned phase wires

• Battery Connection: High-gauge silicone power wires (Red/Black)

Key Applications & Projects

• Heavy-Lift Multirotors: Ideal for octocopters and hexacopters used in agricultural spraying or cinematic filming.

• Large Scale Fixed-Wing: Perfect for high-power electric planes requiring a reliable switching UBEC for multiple servos.

• Industrial Robotics: Reliable speed control for high-torque brushless propulsion in ground or marine vehicles.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution)

• Feature Upgrade: The switching $5\text{A}$ UBEC allows you to power entire arrays of high-current peripherals (like LED systems or specialized sensors) without needing an external power module.

• Effort Level: Intermediate. Professional installation requires soldering high-current connectors (e.g., XT90 or AS150) to match your battery system.

Package Includes:

• 1 x BLHeli Series 80A Brushless ESC

• Pre-installed High-Current Capacitor Bank

• Standard Signal Input Harness

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. What is the maximum cell count supported? It supports up to a 6S LiPo battery (22V).

2. Does it have a built-in BEC? Yes, it features a powerful 5V,5A UBEC.

3. Can I use this for a 2212 motor? No, 80A is overkill for a 2212; this is designed for much larger 40mm to 60mm diameter motors.

4. What firmware does it use? It is pre-flashed with the professional BLHeli series firmware.

5. How do I calibrate the throttle? Follow the standard BLHeli procedure: power on with the transmitter at full throttle, wait for the beeps, and then lower to minimum.

6. Are the wires silicone? Yes, it uses high-temp, high-flex silicone wiring for power and motor phases.

7. What is the burst current rating? It can handle up to 100A for short 10-second intervals.

8. Does it support DShot? This specific standard series typically supports OneShot and PWM; check your specific hardware revision for DShot support.

9. Why are there multiple capacitors? Large motors create significant electrical noise; the capacitor bank filters this to protect your electronics.

10. How do I reverse the motor? Swap any two of the three motor phase wires.

11. Can it power 5V servos? Yes, the $5\text{A}$ UBEC is specifically designed to handle multiple high-torque servos.

12. Is it compatible with 2S batteries? Yes, it operates from 2S up to 6S.

13. Does it include battery connectors? Wires come pre-tinned; you must solder your preferred connector (e.g., XT90).

14. What are the signal wire colors? Orange/White (Signal), Red (5V), and Brown/Black (Ground).

15. How should I mount this? Secure to a flat surface or drone arm where it can receive airflow for cooling.

16. Is it waterproof? No, avoid exposure to moisture.

17. What is the current rating for the UBEC? It provides a steady 5A output.

18. Can I use this for a brushless boat? Yes, provided the cooling and current requirements are met.

19. What is the switching frequency? It utilizes a standard high-speed switching rate for smooth motor operation.

20. Does it have low voltage cutoff? Yes, it features a soft-cutoff protection to prevent battery over-discharge.
