After discussing the st16s battery with terrestrial imaging and after they seen how I did a modification that allowed me to use the h480 st16 battery on the h520 st16s controller. He mentioned That I should be able to use the same mod for any regular 1 cell lipo batteries on the market to power the h520 controller so long that the battery has the matching connector. If I can confirm that I can I will no longer be tied to yuneec to power the st16s controller.
 
You can DIY almost any battery arrangement as long as you supply 4 volts to the plug.
I have not measured the current draw, but I suspect it's about 1 amp.
One example might be an old 3s LiPo with a DC-DC buck converter in line.

You do know other batteries are available?
