It will cost a few bucks but you can get 30 mins, a few miles....

Why would you push the Spark up to 48mph?! It's not a racing drone. Also with these speed there is a much higher chance of losing the drone, who knows what could happen with sensors.
Can you be more precise what parameters for the battery you've found?

How do you get that speed? I want it. Was that with tail wind?

Can you give spicefics on this ?

I like to zip around sometimes you can control speed with the stick don’t have to go all out . As far as batteries I don’t have parameters for that. Mine are for forward & reverse vertical climb & decent & braking in sport mode .

No wind . You have to have DJI assistant 2 v1.1.2 there are a few videos on YouTube on the process it’s pretty straight forward .

If you are willing to spend some money, you can get speeds of 40mph and more than double the flight time...

haha he meant you can do all of the above by buying an more expensive drone, like Mavic Pro

I’ll do it with the spark it will just take a little work the 40+ mph was the easy part I’m looking into some battery cells right now that are the same size & double the mah . Waiting on the company to get back with me now !

That is a really BAD idea. There is a reason why Spark uses intelligent batteries. I wouldn't mess with the custom batteries at all, Spark is not a toy.
