If I suspected an electronics experiment might cost me my drone in a puff of smoke, I'd probably shelve the idea of conducting that experiment. Speaking of Mavic Air 1 battery upgrades, Ali Express now offers TWO versions for the Mavic Air 1. The $65 after-market extra capacity battery boosts the battery capacity from 2375 mAh to 3500 mAH, which translates to a flight time increment from the piddling 15 minutes to a much better 22 minutes,

The slightly higher capacity battery is rated at 3580 mAh and promises a flight time of 23 minutes for the lowly Mavic Air 1, but at a steeper cost of $117 for that additional 2-minute flight duration increment in comparison to the $65 battery whose link is above.
For me, paying nearly twice the cost of the $65 battery for a mere 2 minutes of additional flight time is not worth the $117 price tag. Needless to say, I am buying a few of the $65 batteries to breathe new life into my old Mavic 1 Airs.

I am in no way affiliated with Ali Express, but their website search function often fails to yield the desired results, so I went ahead and posted the links here for any fellow Mavic Air 1 owners who would like to fly their drone for 21 minutes on a single charge, rather than the 15 minutes that the stock battery allows.
