No, 1 x 5200 6S Multistar . Next test 2 x 2200 6S Zippys. After that 2x 5200 3S Traxxas in series.

I predict the 2200's will still be top dog but post those results! I could be wrong.

Where are you mounting the single and doubles? That can make a difference.

My next test since I'm Thunder Power poor at the moment will be with 2 nano 2650's. That holds promise I think to get beyond my 27:36 mark with the 2200's.

The brand is Multistar. Mounting them like Damon, on the sides. The 1 x 6S under the belly. In general, mounting them is a pain. So will only do when I need extra flight time. Receiving my V2 tomorrow. Lets see how that performs.

I've got 5 t48 and 1 47 . I need to modify at least one as 15 min is too short. So which batteries single or double is giving the best bang for the weight?

Maybe you want to view guys that are experts in this auxiliary battery feel will decide to manufactures some auxiliary battery is all wired up Russ novices to warn so great understanding the electrical circuit?

I would do the 48

 

[Fanti]

Zippys 2 x 2200 mah NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good ! Even the 40C Versions that I have. At 15% all cells in the red. Only 24 mins flight time :-(

Zips were down to 3%. So for now, Multistars are much better.

Remain to see the Traxxas ones.

6S?

 

[Fanti]

Yes of course

 

[damoncooper]

Yes of course

Interesting. What do they weigh, where did you mount them and you are using a modified 48 as main correct?

My best time so far is with 2 25+C 2200 6S nano's mounted close to CG.

 

[Fanti]

They weigh 370g each. Mounted on the sides, like you did. Main is TB48, yes.

X3 or X5? Can you post a if of the bird with batteries mounted?

 

[damoncooper]

They weigh 370g each. Mounted on the sides, like you did. Main is TB48, yes.

Also those seem a bit heavy. The nano's I'm using are 351g each. Did you try them?

What else have you tried? Anything longer?

 

[Fanti]

Just tried 2 x 5200 3S Traxxas in series. No good either. 23 mins. Was windy though.

Next try 2 x 5200 6S Multistars.

So far best has been 1 x 5200 6S Multistar.

Flying X3.

What time did you get with the 6S 5200? Two of those I think will be way too heavy.

 

[Fanti]

I got 27.10 mins. But it was cold and a little windy. So I guess there is some improvement possible.

They may be heavy, but worth a try...;-)

Definitely worth a try! Please post back your results. It's s community effort now!

I'm still confused by the 6S 2200 results, but maybe it's just the difference between the Zippys and Nano? I got 27:36 to 10% on the nano's but you only got 24min.

How are you planning to mounting the 6S 5200's? Be careful with props. I had to change mount position with my 5200 3S's as they are so much bigger than the others. Things looked ok but then I did an inside landing gear transition and it was clear I would have punctured the packs in flight if I had gone out that way on landing gear up.

 

[Fanti]

Will try to mount them under the arm. 1 on each side. If results are good, will look for a better mounting possibility.

Want to try the TP Lihv but cant find them anywhere in Europe...

 

[Fanti]

On the V1, I can mount the battery under the belly.


But on the V2, the bottom is different. So far cant mount under the belly, have to find a solution.

 

[damoncooper]

The TP LiHV's hold the most promise for 30min+ on the Inspire but it's a $500 investment to try.

some new changes. new battery tray.
Been testing it this afternoon, everything seems fine, will carry 4 6s next time.
2 x 2200 on the side
2 x 1550 under the main unit.
