Battery mod options??

Why two 1300's instead of one twice the capacity?? Anyone know!

I think so it's 22.2v in total or something on those lines, as well as what he said above^^^

It's still only 4s (they are connected in parallel rather than series). The reason for two smaller batteries is for balance.

The military have been trying out drones that land on power lines to recharge - would be awesome but then we would need electric meters on our P3s or they will fine you for stealing electric!!!

Realistic flight times are 23-25 minutes, depending upon the externals that you use. With 1600's I am getting 23 minutes, while with expensive, lightweight (255g) 2800's I am getting 25 minutes. Stock, I was only getting 15 minutes on average. You quickly reach a point of diminishing returns, as the extra weight from higher powered batteries must be carried throughout the entire flight.

I have them (see other threads). I get 30:00 to 10% with new motors. Don't think any battery is better weight/power and I have tested dozens.
