I'm curious if anyone knows if the battery will be 3S or 4S battery? I hope it's 4S like the Phantom 3 to get longer flight times.

That will mean using their battery.
If you use your cheap battery and it crashes because you can't keep tabs on it then you won't be able to get a new one. It will be worth buying the smart batteries just for this reason.
Guess it's 4S. $150 from what I've read. Sounds kind of high considering the 3S for the Iris+ was $40.
For a savings of $110 I think I can deal with my Traxxas connectors!! But I bet the solo won't fly if it doesn't see a 3DR battery :[ I hope I'm wrong.
Yea I know but if the case could come apart I'm sure I could install my own 4S. You would probably then need to do a 'reset' of some sort on the logic board. I think one of the 'smart' features is it see's how many charge cycles it has been through and basically disables the battery eventually. Actually I shouldn't say that I don't know if that's what 3DR's smart battery does. But I know the Phantom does and on two occasions a battery that was just fine suddenly wouldn't work. One that was fairly new. It seems that once in awhile the 'smart' wigs out and doesn't work. The disappointing thing is it seems that it has a lot to do with mandating you have buy their battery more than just for 'safety'.
I heard other companies will make other batteries.
I wish I knew what a smart battery meant. Because it really doesn't make any sense.
