Battery vs payload

[Rajat Tarade]

hey i have made a quadcopter with several sensors on it as my Engineering project.... i have bunch of sensors and controller on a little board that i made... it runs on 200mA and powered using another battery...
My quadcopter runs on 2200mAh battery and gives me about 5 min of flight time...
NOW my question is this if i removed that other battery( 250 gm) and connect my circuit to the main battery causing 200mA more from it but less payload
Could it increase my flight time ..?????

I would doubt removing such little weight would do anything. How about get a 5500 battery for your main battery .

my project has already exceeded its budget so i can't buy new batteries... also the hobby items and spare parts are may to much expensive in my little village in India....

It really depends on his all up weight too Hoki. If the whole copter weighs 1000gr then that 250gr reduction would be 25%.

Although I do agree with your thinking in principal.

I think the only answer is to try it and find out.

Hi Rajat, if you can order from china suppliers it can be a lot cheaper and often with free shipping if you can wait longer.
