Any one know where i can find a 5S 2000 mAh 70 - 80C battery?  I've found  a 2200 mAh, but not a 2000 which is what I would really like to have.  I would try an 1800, but I haven't seen that either.  Looked everywhere I know of.  If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate hearing them, thanks!! 

Couldn't find a 2000mAh either....I did find an 1800mAh, at 65c-130c for all that really means anymore.....Curious why you don't want to go bigger in the mAh range?

Weight.  I am not sure the extra amps would offset the additional weight.  I may find that it would actually work better, but I thought I would start a little lower.  Thanks John!

I just looked at that 1800......it weighs in a 468g. The 2200 I was looking at was only 323g (if memory serves) Thats a big drawback of those graphine batteries...the weight. Maybe I will go for the 2200. Thanks for the help John....appreciate it!

I hear ya on the weight issue.  FWIW, my 4s 6inch works very well with 2200mah....I didn't see a drop off in range until I got to 2600mah...and yes the graphenes suck for weight.  I'll keep looking and if I find something I'll let you know.  

Getting down to picking batteries,,,gonna be in the air soon.....right?

Thanks John, I appreciate it.  I would  like to get in the air soon, but lots of irons in the fire at the moment.  I need to get some flights in around here just to get a feel for the flight characteristics....I have flown it a couple of times just for very short periods of time using the tune out of the box.  I have since adjusted my rates, but haven't had a chance to try it yet.  Additionally I may have some GPS problems...with 11 sats yesterday the position was several hundred feet off.  It was only carrying it out to the minutes....that may improve if I can get it to carry it out to seconds.  I may be expecting too much....I am used to GPS with sub centimeter accuracy, but I suspect thats not happening with a 20 dollar unit

Damn....I even looked on the Max Amp site and didn't see it.  Thanks voodoo, that may be what I am looking for.  It's a little out of my price range at the moment but ill keep it at the top of the list.

I can't imagine spending $90 for Max Amp.

Thanks Voodoo...you are obviously better at finding these things then I am. I got a 2200 from RDQ and it is approximately the same weight although it was more expensive. I'll see how this one performs and then I may order the ZOP as well. Thanks for your help!

what do you guys use 2000 5s for what?  I saw gens ace did have 1800 5s battery, but it on the Europe site. @sirdude

Some of us here have started dabbling with long range quads...those capable of flying out 5km or more.  In order to achive that kind of range. they require a little more longevity in the battery.  I bought a 5S 2200mAh battery.  I will see how that works and if it turns out to be a little heavier then I like I'll try something a little smaller.  Thanks for the response!
