Battery Changes

     Today I realized that two 2200mah 3S batteries are not going to be enough for any susteined flight.  Thus I am moving towards bigger batteries, much bigger.

This is also going to address the weight problem as the hexacopter is currently too powerful for the amount of power its producing. Thus the batteries will get it above the current 17% hover throttle to at least 30+%, an ideal value being between 40-60%.

I am thinking of the following batteries:


Or possibly something like this:



So these options should be fine in series with XT60 connectors, will probably have to use XT90 at the endings as XT60 is only good up to 90Amps and I could be drawing 180Amps between the two batteries. XT90s are generally good for 220Amps each. They are huge though. 

I'm still looking at a better power delivery. There are different options
