Description
RED V3 6S4P High Power battery pack built with Molicel P50B cells, with 20 Ah capacity and 21.6 V nominal voltage.
Cell origin & purchasing requirements
Pack assembly: United States. Components may be internationally sourced. The answers below apply to the stated criterion, not to every government purchase or a complete aircraft.
Molicel P50B — origin & eligibility
Cell manufacturing country: Taiwan.
- Requirement: no China-manufactured cells. Yes, for cell manufacturing country. These cells are manufactured in Taiwan. This does not establish the origin of all internal materials.
- FY2020 NDAA §848, as amended — does cell origin alone trigger its listed-component restriction? No. Battery cells are not among the enumerated components. This is not a determination of compliance with all of §848 or approval of the complete UAS.
- FY2024 NDAA §154 — is this cell brand explicitly named? No. The provision names CATL, BYD, Envision, EVE, Gotion and Hithium, plus their successors. It also covers batteries for which those entities provide a majority of components. Not currently offered as compliant with the full §154 requirement. If your purchase requires it, contact us before ordering to discuss a documented configuration; the brand name alone does not establish compliance. The statutory restriction begins October 1, 2027; programs may apply it earlier.
- Drone Dominance Phase II / III — non-covered-country pack assembly criterion: Meets. This pack is assembled in the United States. This answer covers pack assembly only; entity screening and applicable electronics/BMS requirements remain separate.
- Drone Dominance Phase III preferred (February 2027) / Phase IV minimum (August 2027) — cell sourcing: Meets the cell-country requirement. Taiwan is a non-covered country. Not currently offered as compliant with the full cell-sourcing requirement. This also requires §842-compliant cells. Contact us before ordering to discuss a documented configuration.
- Drone Dominance Phase IV preferred — U.S.-manufactured cells: Does not meet. These cells are not manufactured in the United States.
- FY2026 NDAA §842 / 10 U.S.C. §4865 — documented eligibility: Not currently offered as compliant with this requirement. If your purchase requires it, contact us before ordering to discuss a documented configuration. Availability must be confirmed in writing. It covers functional cell components and technology, with exceptions and waivers. Statutory applicability begins January 1, 2028 for new acquisition programs, January 1, 2029 for standard batteries and January 30, 2031 for existing programs, for covered contracts entered after December 18, 2025. Program requirements can apply earlier.
Buying for a restricted program? If your purchase requires documented §154, §842 or full Drone Dominance eligibility, do not place an online order on the assumption that it qualifies. Contact sales@upgradeenergytech.com before purchasing. Include the product, quantity, applicable provision or program phase and delivery date. We must establish the allocated cell model, manufacturing route and required supplier evidence before representing the order as eligible.

Observe both the power and current limits. Use a suitable balance charger and monitor individual series-group voltages. Pack voltage alone does not verify every series cell group remains within its limits. The 80 °C maximum is a pack temperature limit, not an ambient-temperature rating or a charging temperature allowance.
