According to Andy Draper:
> SM14337 LiFePO4 Batteries
> An aircraft with one of the EarthX Hundred series batteries (the
largest available capacity) is currently on flight test and, all being
well with it, this should allow all of the Hundred series batteries to
be added to the Standard Mod. It=99s probably best to wait for
this to be completed rather than to submit a mod application of your
own,
