OK I have re-read all your posts again... I think I know why I fly longer. The aux battery is not split DJI. It is a split HV cell by xxx manufacturer. Splitting DJI battery is a good idea as you save weight but you lose endurance. My suggestion
1. Main battery original DJI with power output and balancer leads
2. Aux battery HV lipoly at least 5200ma - split preferably. Don't get too high C rating as battery gets very heavy. Get the balance right by eight to C ratio. Don't buy cheap cells either. Use good quality cells that don't sag voltage
I have ordered G6 hyperions and will get them this week. Will see how they compare to HK HV green cells

We will see Fanti I could get 38 out of my V3 when it was new maybe 39. I'm getting the 5200 Mah add-on that should put me right around the same territory as your mod.

O.k so let me get this straight we was all sold on the horizon V3 by some of the leaders here, only to find out after purchasing & testing,none of you leaders are actually even using the V3 you're using other brand split mods and horizon is Kinda selling under false pretense then!
Yeah it's a split DJI pack. Shouldn't be any different than the ones people are getting from Horizon Midwest.

I've always taken everything you've posted to be truth, Unknown, no need for you to verify thanks for the info.
On a sidenote,Unknown, I got 7.6 this morning with the standard, a little battery to spare. It'd be fun to catch a pro record with the standard![emoji41]

7.6 miles with the standard huh? How was your Video Connection on that I figure that's got to be a rough ride not having light Bridge that's pretty **** impressive.

Nobody's more surprised than I was!
Signal was great all the way out on the way back it broke up 3 times. That was my second long-distance flight on one booster battery so maybe that caused a weak signal on the way home ,who knows
This is gonna be fun! (Distance tests)

So you're not going to share your current configuration because you're tuning for longer flight time? Is that a reason?
