    Hi All,

    I am just about to upgrade my cinestar 8 with the new quadro cool board and MK3644 motors. My question is I am currently running 4s 10,400 batteries which are currently getting me 9-10 minutes flight time and I have noticed that there are now 16000 4s & 6s batteries available. My question is the 6s 16000 batteries are almost 800grams heavier than the 16000 4s batteries, so what gains would I get if any upgrading to the 16000 6s batteries if any ?

    Cheers
    Anthony

    The same size battery in 6S has 50% more effective power than a 4S battery. That can make a big difference. But that’s why they weigh more, too. You really have to do the math in something like Ecalc to see if it makes sense.
