Battery replacement for Beast SG906

Good Evening.

I have the Beast SG906 and I would like to buy a second battery for it.

Does anyone know if the battery for the SG906 Pro model or the SG906 Max model

also work for the Beast SG906?

Also, there are batteries with 3,400 mAh and 5,000 mAh (approx.) but

from what I have read the increase in flight duration is not proportional to the increase in mAh. Anyone have any thoughts/experience on that ?

Thanks

I wish you Happy Holidays with Health and Joy!!!!

I don't own a SG906.
I did some googling and found the following. Apparently SG906 and SG906 Pro share the same version of battery, but they are of lesser mah.

As to your last question........ I am not an expert. This is just my personal opinion only:
Increase of mah should increase flight time, provided you were flying under the same options.
However, it does NOT increasing range (flight distance.) It is because Range depends on Drone's Wifi connectivity.

Quads have a bit of "the rocket equation" problem to them. The more mAh in a battery the heavier it is so the more thrust you need to lift said battery so some of the power you just added is being used to lift the source of the power into the air and at some point you are adding more weight but not able to create the thrust need to fly and at to efficiently run things, you're just losing flight time by adding the weight.

Basically a motor is just a bunch of wires and magnets, if you increase the current in the wire you increase the magnetic force or torque but at some point a motor becomes "saturated" you can't push more current through it and it's just burning off the power being pushed through it in the form of heat (vibrating the atoms of air around it) and electro-magnetic radiation, as heat goes up so does resistance and so things either level off or you burn the enamel coating off the wires and a short happens and then the wires themselves or other components tend to get roasted. Running motors at high RPM also puts the fluid in the ball bearings under "stress" from heat build up so eventually blow out the bearings holding the shaft in the motors but point being there's just some upper limits of how much power can push through a given motor before hit it's max RPM or start cooking components.

If somehow we could add more power onto the quads without adding more weight then this would be a non-issue but basically if adding more weight then need more thrust to overcome gravity, if need more thrust then need to either drive the motors at higher RPM (fighting wind drag on the prop blades) or need bigger surface of prop blade, again more weight of prop and more drag means harder to spin at high RPM if is bigger though so is trade off there too. Feel like 9/10 posts I have here I link to this site but ecalc.ch good site for running numbers even with free options to see how adding more mAh or changing prop size on a given quad will effect the thrust and flight time numbers. Basically a quad with 1:1 thrust to weight doesn't get off the ground, it needs more thrust force than downforce from gravity to get in the air, but to stay stable it needs even more power because the thrust vector it creates isn't pointing straight down as soon as it tilts a bit from wind or any other external forces, basically the higher thrust means more control for the end user because the quad isn't spending all it's power just staying in the air and level.
 
Another way to look at it is basically you just increased the inertia of the thing by adding mass to it so it wants to stay put if it's already not moving and once in motion it "wants" to keep going assuming no other forces acting on it, but again without change to voltage/rpm or the thrust output of the motors you now have heavier thing with less control overall (is a trade off in flight time vs agility)
 
Good morning from GREECE.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thanks for the replies
From what I read the battery for the SG906 does NOT work for the SG 906 PRO.
On the contrary, I don't know.
I was interested in the longer flight time and I think this is done by
the increase in mAh.
I found parts on a site in China but I don't know if it's reliable.

just checking , are you enquiring about sg906 Pro 2 ? Because there is a difference in battery length
