Is this the future?

I put a solid state lithium battery in my ArduPilot drone/UAV VTOL quadplane, and it flew, and flew and flew.
I bought these batteries with my own money and I'm "recommending" these batteries, but I'm pretty impressed.
You can buy them here. I make nothing if you buy.

I wish they would manufacture smaller 2s/3s versions

[@timtheplaneman]

How does the weight and volume compare to a similar capacity and rate lipo?

[@timtheplaneman]

Great question. I don't know the answer, I'll see what I can find.

No mention of cost Tim.
Would this be cost effective for let’s say a comparable for a Riot for example?
I currently use a 3350mah 11.1v 3s. Are these available and would it be useful for me?

[@timtheplaneman]

That's a very good question Nick, and I must admit I haven't checked. These guys don't seem to have small batteries like that, but I will guess (bet?) they are coming. These things are great.

I guess this company only goes down to 11000 mAh, but I'm guessing others might start making them.
