Batteries Wanting To Understand Lipos

I really am not sure what the difference will be in two scenarios. A given quad that has ability to use either 3s or 4s. You have a 3s 850 and a 4s 650. How would the quad act with each of these? Would it be less power, more flight time on the 3s?

The biggest difference is more voltage on the 4S. With more voltage comes more rpm from the motor. As for flight time outbound have to figure out the watt hours of the packs to see if your gaining or losing flight time.

With higher voltage comes lower amp draw. So your electronics will operate cooler and better over the flight.

Flight time for those two packs will be roughly the same all things considered.

OK thanks. 4s it is.
