Replacement for Lithium Ion Battery?

Posted by Omair Khalid on September 22, 2015 at 10:47am

I recently bought a quadcopter and it contains a 900mAh Lithium Ion battery. It gives a flight time of 5-6 minutes. I want to increase the flight time.

Please suggest how. I was thinking about getting LiPo battery for it but i am afraid that the weight will become too much.

Can I use NiMh batteries in place of Lithium Ion batteries?

Regards

Sure, you can use lipo, life, nimh, nicd as long as you match the voltage of your current battery, have room for it to mount and don't have to much weight for your quad.
