Today tried the new self-assembled 3s1p 12000mAh LiPo (below picture - but with more proper insulation).
Battery: screw connectors worked fine. This is a feasible alternative when spot-welding is not available.
Drone came overweighted with ~55% throttle to hover at full charge.
Loiter and RTL were unstable in the wind (swinging), probably due to the overweight.
Manual control is still acceptable.
Will revert back to 5500mAh and test the 12000mAh in the Mk2 drone.
PS: I found out that BEC on my ESC does not stabilize the voltage - it needs a power module, otherwise 5v output is really unstable.
