Using the Larger Air 3S Battery in an Air 3 for Greater Range

[BlairAir]

This nearly identical conversation occured when Air 2S came out

• DJI Air 2 3500 mAh batteries: Have a voltage of 11.55 volts
  
  
• DJI Air 2S 3750 mAh batteries: Have a voltage of 11.04 volts

Putting the 250mAh battery in an Air 2 yeilded a statistical nothing. Some 20-24 SECONDS of additional flight time.

The 3S batteries are more expensive because of the Sleep/Wake capability, not because of a few MAh increase. They MIGHT endow an Air 3 with sleep/Wake capability, if the Firmware is modified to allow it. They will do nothing, nada, nyet, poop fir additional flight time.

 

[Droning on and on...]

What is this new sleep/wake capability? I can't find anything about it...

After you shutoff the drone the USB file system is still powered for about 12 hours. You can just plug the drone into your computer to transfer files without having to fully turn the drone on. After 12 hours if you press the battery once it powers up the USB file system for another 12 hours.

It is pretty handy. The internal storage and microSD card mount as two different drives.
