Longer lasting batteries

[Tacticool]

Anyone have a recommendation for aftermarket batteries for q500. I see a 74Ma on the shelves. Any luck with specific after market ones

Many have good success with "Gifi" brand batteries at a reasonable price.
Happy hunting,

Carolina Dronz sells a GiFi 7500mah. I have two of them. Work great.

Flight time on those? 16-18 minutes?

I don't know for sure. I do not push that limit with my batteries. But if it means anything I believe they are way better than the stock batteries which crapped out within 6 months.

Ok... I haven't pushed the limit on my stock batteries either, but I am getting 12-14 minutes of flight time while recording video. I have read where people are getting much less but it would be nice to add 3 or 4 minutes.

Try the Venom brand. I purchased two from Amazon. The prices were very reasonable. I used them with my Blade Chroma 1080P.

I also bought 2 of the Venom and am satisfied with performance and integrity. They were $137.98 each on E-Bay sold by wecommerce18.

I checked tonight and see the price is now $128. The GiFi brand 7500 mAh is less expensive and has a higher mAh rating than the battery I listed above at 6000 mAh. I have also purchased stuff from Carolina Drone so if thewineguy has had a good experience with the GiFi and purchased from Carolina Drone, that is a pretty good recommendation as well.

That recommendation was from Wingshooter on the Carolina Dronz GiFi. Credit where due.
