[QUOTE="Dudge Jredd, post: 617, member: 70"] I did some research and found DJI uses LiPo batteries which are constantly being improved with better electrolytes as well as better cell design increasing energy storage. The Mavic and Spark are still too new to see next-gen tech in improved battery capacity but Phantom users probably noticed that they could find batteries ranging from 4480mah to 5500mah (every bit counts when drones put high drain on battery). In addition, LiPo batteries behave like cellphone batteries. Don't recharge if available energy is over 70%, drain below 50% before recharging. Partial charging counts as a partial charge cycle. 2 - 50% charges counts as a single charge cycle on battery's life. More cycles means max original capacity slowly diminishes over time. Can't wait until tech like this is put into drones. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_battery"]Magnesium battery - Wikipedia[/URL] More capacity, lighter weight. [/QUOTE]
