I have been testing 300mAh LiHV with a 1S PH2.0 toothpick and BT2.0 whoop; both weigh 24g without battery and both have the same electronics and motors.
PH2.0
Several 1S 300mAh PH2.0 LiHV PILLOW batteries I bought a year ago can barely manage 15 seconds of flight time. Brand will remain unnamed.
When I use 1S 300mAh PH2.0 LiHV FOLDED batteries I can get upwards of 2 minutes from the same 24g drone.
BT2.0
I also have 1S 300mAh BT2.0 LiHV PILLOW batteries from the same unnamed brand as above. They perform fairly well.
Yes, we all know that 1S batteries sag really bad when armed and flown, but then recover well when disarmed. Fact of life with 1S.
However, the combination of 1S PILLOW and PH2.0 is one to avoid.
People have been recommending BT2.0 over PH2.0 for some time already. However, if you have to use PH2.0, be sure to get only FOLDED batteries.
Overall summary:
FOLDED BT2.0 is the best. 3:30 flight time.
PILLOW BT2.0 is ok. 2:30 flight time.
FOLDED PH2.0 is ok. 2:00 flight time.
PILLOW PH2.0 is bad. 15 sec flight time.
