How much current can it deliver?

Flight time with this battery

Where this data comes from

Size withheld: the listing prints "Dimensions: 79x23x34mm" beside "Weight: 212.5g (+/- 1%)", which is 3.44 g/cm3 - denser than any lithium cell sold, so the two figures cannot both describe this pack. The weight is the one that survives its other check (146 Wh/kg, ordinary for a 3S LiPo), and at this class's 1.7-1.9 g/cm3 the pack would be about 112-125 cm3 against the 62 the three figures give. RDQ Series is RaceDayQuads' own house brand, so there is no second source to take a replacement from
