Hi, I am using a Quadcopter with Holybro 920KV BLDC, EMAX 20Amps ESC, Orange Lipo 14.8V 5200mAh 40C battery and the flytime I am getting is 15min. I want to improve my Flytime even if the responsiveness is less can I use Pro-range 14.8V 5600mAh 11C battery to improve the flytime. Also recommend if any other components i need to change.
Hello,
Here are a few points you can consider based on my experience.
1. Switching to a Pro-range 14.8V 5600mAh 11C battery can definitely give you more flight time because it has a higher capacity. But, the 11C rating means it can’t deliver power as quickly as your current 40C battery. This might make your quadcopter a bit sluggish during quick rapid climbs.
2. Higher capacity batteries are usually heavier. Make sure your quadcopter can handle the extra weight without becoming unstable.
3. Your Holybro 920KV motors are pretty efficient, but if you’re looking for even better flight time, you might consider to try motors with a lower KV rating, like 700-800KV. These motors are more efficient at lower speeds, which can help extend your flight time but they might not be as responsive.
4. Look for frames made from carbon fiber or other lightweight materials. A lighter frame can help offset the weight of a bigger battery.
If maximizing flight time is the primary goal, the Pro-range battery could be a good option, even with reduced responsiveness.
