New High-Capacity Battery for the Elios 3

June 26, 2025: Flyability have announced the availability of an all-new high-capacity battery for the Elios 3. This new battery is designed to give Elios 3 users up to 50% more flight time per charge. The battery is available to order now.

The high-capacity battery offers 13 minutes and 30 seconds of flight time in a standard configuration (Elios 3 with the Rev 6 LiDAR fitted), compared to 9 minutes and 10 seconds with the standard battery. In addition to extended airtime, the battery delivers twice the number of recommended charge cycles (100 cycles) compared to the standard battery (50 cycles), maximising long-term value by combining longer missions with a significantly improved battery lifespan.

The new high-capacity battery empowers greater confidence and productivity in the field. With up to 50% more flight time per charge, this battery enables pilots to cover more ground with fewer interruptions: this means greater distances can be covered in culverts and tunnels, greater heights in vertical shafts, and greater area coverage in large, complex spaces. 

All Elios 3 payloads are compatible with the high-capacity battery; however, different payloads and environmental conditions may affect flight performance. A mandatory firmware upgrade will be needed for users of the high-capacity battery to enable the Elios 3 to fly with the new unit.

The new high-capacity battery is available today from Dronesurvey Asia. Sold in a pack of 3 with a new high-capacity charger, contact us today for pricing and to place your order.

Standard batteries will continue to be available.
