Good Morning,

Thank you for the drawing. I have been asking for a drawing for some time. There is a company that is willing to make batteries for this drone. Maybe if I could have generated enough interest and a greater consumer base I would not have to pay $2000.00 a set. These batteries are rated to last 5 years (with proper care). Also to have a higher rating to increase the flight time.

Good Morning,

This is what was quoted to me for a replacement batteries.

Good talking with you, here are the 2 custom options we discussed for your aircraft.

1. 9 packs total 3 per flight (Same size you currently have with higher quality cells) 4000 mAh x3 12000 mAh total $295 each. X9 = $$2,655

1. 3 packs total 1 per flight (Will fit in the dimensions) 5000 mAh x3 15000 mAh total. $1,050 each. X3 $3,150

Either option will be good for 5+ years and comes with a 2 year warranty.

Let me know if you decide to stop by with the aircraft or email us the dimensions, otherwise this 2 options will work.

Please consider the proven success other operators have experienced with a pair of Gens Ace 5000 mAh, 45C with the modification to the EC3 connector documented earlier in this discussion.
I'm playing with other options, in addition to my two Gens Ace batteries, on a small budget, until my favorite Californian supplier has H920/H920+ aftermarket batteries.

Good Morning MDT,

I would be very interested in the supplier that you have in Cal. Do you have the flight data for the batteries? I have been using Batteries from Yuneec. The problem is that they are old stock with many draw backs (A) old Stock (B) Limited Supply (C) The technology is out dated compared to the latest batteries. The flight time is not near what Yuneec advertised. Another consideration for my use is, I.E. Lithium Polymer VS Lithium Ion. I don't have much information on the difference in this application but the manufacturer is giving me some detailed information. When it is available this will be shared to those who have an interest.

(3) Gens ace 5000mAh 22.2V 6S1P 60C/120C LiPo-Amazon , you can fit two inside the battery compartment, the third is mounted under the gimbal and I had to drill a hole through the battery door to run the lead to its plugin. Hope this helps you.​

@ishollywood what are the flight times with this setup with the camera mounted?

Good Afternoon,
I like this setup from the stand point it those who own Tornado H920+ and H920 options. As if we were waiting for Yuneec to respond a person could die of old age . The supplier that I have written to has not made contact with me since I sent the batterie box dimensions. It was explained to them most owners did not want to invest more in the batteries than the cost of the drone. I will make contact with him again to see if there was a failure in the communications.

Good Afternoon,
Please share your results with flight time and results, if there was a camera or just the aircraft. Also were you able to fit 3 of these in the battery compartment? I was unable to see from the photo.
