Gaoneng GNB
GNB — made by Shenzhen Gaoneng New Energy Limited — builds high-discharge LiPo batteries the way combat robotics demands: light, punchy, and able to dump serious current without sagging. GNB's own materials brand them "certified quality, global reach, reliable power," and that focus on high C-rate discharge cells is exactly what a beetleweight or antweight drive system and weapon motor need under load.
GNB batteries commonly use LiHV (high-voltage) LiPo chemistry — cells built to charge to a higher per-cell voltage than standard LiPo, which packs more usable energy into the same size and weight pack. For a combat robot, that means more punch per gram, a real advantage when every ounce of your build has to go toward armor, drivetrain, or weapon rather than dead battery weight.
Gaoneng operates manufacturing facilities in Dongguan and Shenzhen, China, with a technical team of more than 1,000 people. Their batteries are built for a wide range of applications — RC vehicles, robotics, backup power, and more — and are certified to UN38.3 (lithium battery transport safety), MSDS, and IEC 62133 (safety standard for secondary lithium batteries and packs), so you're not sacrificing safety certification for performance.
Combat robotics builders in our community have been running GNB batteries for years — the 380mAh 3S pack has a track record of multi-year reliable use, the 850mAh 4S 120C "flower pack" is a favorite for beetleweight drive and weapon systems, and both the 300mAh and 380mAh 4S packs see regular use in antweight builds. ItGresa stocks GNB in the capacities and cell counts that fit small-class combat robot builds — 3S and 4S packs sized for antweight, fairyweight, and beetleweight drivetrains and weapon systems, with XT30 connectors ready to plug into the ESCs builders already run.
