Battery Upgrade: 7mins - 9mins!

Post by myrcfocus »

Hi i'm Mike from the UK.

The first thing i wanted to do to my CrazyFlie was upgrade the Lipo.

I have an rc planes/helicopters background so had a good idea of what to go for.

I chose a Hyperion 240mah as Hyperion are incredibly good quality.

The battery i use to get 9 mins of flight time is below...

... which you can buy at various online websites.

I soldered new connectors onto the tabs and was all set. :D

The new battery adds roughly 1.5 grams to the total weight.
