I know mate. I read all 196 pages of the thread over on mavic pilots last night still im no further forward 
So many promising reports on multistar, 18650s, titan packs but no one seems to follow up with any real positive feedback.
I fly with either 2 x 4000mah LiHV multistar’s = 265 grams each.
2 of these are a favourite, tried and tested for a lot of the flights on the long range leader board, 11 miles out and back is achievable.
For a single battery I use 1 x 5200mah LiHV multistar = 340 grams
There’s other batteries the long range guys are using now but to have them shipped to the UK makes them too expensive

Great info, cheers Mick!
I wonder why everyone recommends 3000mAh max when you’re happily running 4k, do your cables get hot?
I take it you get better performance from two “lowers” than one “higher”?
I only use 2 x 4000’s for getting the furthest possible distance out and back as that’s the main thing I’m interested in. The cables don’t get hot, if you ain’t trying for record distances I would recommend 2 x 3000 or 1 5200mah

Hi,
I wonder can this one be used?
considering it is 11.1V not 11.4 V
I just got the dual battery mod and the 3d printed holder. I ordered two 3000 mah lipos to use for the extra batteries.
Can anyone tell me what results I should expect. I have a mavic pro platinum.
I would stick to 11.1 v
something like this perhaps
The battery clip is there a stl file for that to print it guys
