<span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important">My conclusion: unless you're flying F-23 and Unknowns, 10S 4400 mAh batteries are more than adequate and save you almost 3 ounces, compared to the 12S 4000 mAh packs. I agree that the
12S batteries will probably last longer, since they are not worked as hard as 10S packs. I could not feel any performance improvement with 12S packs.</span></div>

<span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important">Another consideration: My Mezon ESC does not automatically recognize the pack cell count. So, if I switch from 10S to 12S, I need to reprogram the ESC <span contenteditable="false" id="😟">😟</span>.</span></div>
