I'm going to buy a Blade Nano QX BNF Quadcopter w/SAFE Technology for use in our indoor flying. In reading comments about this quad the common gripe is flight time (3/5 minutes) with the 150mah batteries. So my question is - has anyone who flies this quad tried a larger mah battery in it, say 200mah in size. Will it fit into the slot? I've got quite a few 150mah 1s batteries but would order a supply of 200's if they would fit. The makers web site does not mention the use of larger capacity batteries. TIA

I've got the smaller Blade Inductrix, which has the same style battery holder.

I run a MicroHeli 200mAh 35C battery on it without issues, and have read that the MicroAviation 220mAh will also work.

There is no larger battery size listed because E-Flite's next larger 1s battery is a 250mAh battery which will not fit (it's notably wider). Blade and E-Flight are the same company and only list their own batteries.

Note you'll get a longer flight time from the E-Flight 150mAh 45C battery than with the stock 150mAh 25C, because the 45C doesn't have nearly as much voltage sag under load. The MicroHeli pack I mention above lasts longer than the 150mAh 45C (I have all 3 batteries, I bought both the MicroHeli and the E-Flite 150mAh 45C as upgrades and keep getting the crappy 25C's as stock batteries in various aircraft).

Thanks Adam - this is what I needed to know.
