@Aut I didn’t find specific power draw numbers, but here are some battery recommendations
- Minimum 2A output (2.5A+ recommended for Pi 3/4 with SDRs)
- 10,000+ mAh capacity for 3-4 hour flights
- Quality brand that won't auto-shut-off when Stratux briefly reduces power draw
Popular choices in the community:
- Anker PowerCore series (10000+ mAh, 2.4A output)
- RAVPower models with 2.4A+ ports
- Avoid cheap no-name brands — they often shut off or deliver inconsistent power

@JohnOCFII @Aut Over the years, I've been recommending the Anker 323 (A1334) because of its fire-proof casing and polymer cell for aviation safety, but it's really really really hard to find these days. https://www.soundcore.com/ca/products/a1334
