Air 3S Delivered. A Few Big (& Unadvertised) Things I Noticed.

[Droning on and on...]

That's interesting! If memory serves, Lipo battery deliver more power delivery per second, but Lion batteries have more energy density? But the Air3's already climbed like a rocket. Is there a difference in weight between the batteries?

Charge/discharge characteristics of lithium-ion chemistry batteries are flexible, and can be engineered. There are 18650 cells available with discharge specs that would make the lipoly cells in our drones look like old carbon Ever-ready cells.

The main difference between li-ion and li-poly cells is physical. Li-poly can be shaped in much more convenient ways.
