Hi,

I'm unable to purchase https://www.modalai.com/products/seeker-battery locally and am looking into other options. Are there any other Li-Ion or LiPo batteries that meet voltage requirements (7.4V - 22.2V according to https://docs.modalai.com/power-module-v3-datasheet/) and are known to fit the Seeker's battery compartment?

Thanks,

Stefan

@Stefan I'm guessing you've also looked up [here](https://www.racedayquads.com/products/auline-11-1v-3s-3000mah-10c-li-ion-battery-xt30)
Also the data sheet recommends Battery	11.1V 3S 3000mAh 10C Li-Ion Battery - XT30
3S SONYVTC6 (recommended) 18650 (triangle orientation packaging)

@Stefan the Seeker has been optimized for a 3S battery, but you could adapt any battery 6S and under(since the apm would be able to take it). Only thing would be fitment. You could fit a rectangular battery or make your own battery with 18650's or similar as an option

Thanks, Adrian! I will look into building two batteries with Sony VTC6 cells.
