Mavic Battery life leaderboard

Post your longest flights here! Personally, mine so far has been 30 mins with a Mini 3.
Enjoy!

Not sure what your looking for BUT I had A Air2S Battery that was going at 260 cycles with almost 20 min of flight time! never happened again and I should have saved it in a Frame! Usually high cycle bats gave me 8 min.

With the VLOS requirement, it is no longer really as relevant as it was, when we used to have a long distance leaderboards with stock and modded setups for each aircraft, where maximizing flight time with external batteries would maximize total distance base upon an optimal speed, and round trip flights were prioritized over one-way suicide missions.

Ok. So battery life is no longer relevant?

"longest flight" and battery life can be two different things

Indeed they are, which is why DJI quotes different parameter requirements for maximum flight time and separately for maximum distance. This is why maximum flight time can be easily manipulated based upon DJI's parameters for maximum flight time, but is actually irrelevant if your goal is maximum distance, as they are quite different. Counterintuitively, maximizing flight time actually decreases maximum distance.

maximizing flight time actually decreases maximum distance.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.
