Explains the update to using a 4-battery configuration.
Explains the potential to use 6200 mAh batteries.
Summary of findings
Following 2024-01-20 Pegasus 4v6 battery Flight Test , we determined that 4 5000 mAh batteries in poor condition were able to sustain flight for 20 minutes, showing a total voltage drop from 49v → 43v (ending with the battery around 3.6v).
Knowing the flight test was done in the cold, we extrapolate to expect around 50 minutes of flight time for 4 batteries, which is more than we need for a 45 minute maximum flight window.
