14V 7000mAh Li-ion Battery for DJI Phantom FC40

Building video of a compact 14V 7000mAh 8 cells Li-ion high density battery and "Y" type wiring designed to work as a secondary / paralleled battery for a DJI Phantom FC40 drone.

In this case the battery works without electronics (as a Lipo Pack) so the discharge goes raw through the main leads (XT60) and charge is always done as a "balancing charge" with any balancing charge hobby charger like "IMAX B6"

Although the increment in energy were a 133% higher than its original 3000mAh Lipo Battery, the practical range is not a 133% higher, because the differences in weight in a drone makes a dramatic difference. In this case the range (flight time) were doubled.
