I see people talking about a 11.1V version and a 7.4V version. Did they just use a different battery? Are the motors different between the two versions? Why can't I find a 11.1V S033G? Were there problems with the 11.1V of motors burning out so they...

11.1 was limited. They don't make it any more. I searched all over for it. The 7.4V is fun for flying in large open spaces like a high school gymnasium, but outside is terrible. Hope that helps.

Hi - Yes, I should have posted that I also found out the 1011 is indeed the 10v. How many hours does the 3 cell last - does anyone know?In any case, I checked out the 1011 at Microcenter (hands-on), and found it to be a sturdy little number but they were selling it for $334 and were sold out. That's why when I found it here for $299 I thought it was a good deal. I would probably upgrade the memory to 2 G via Crucial. I think it sells for around $50.

I've had both electric & battery. Neither is more powerful than the other. How can anything be powerful when it runs off of 3 volts maximum? The battery units (AA or rechargeable) are more convenient because you can use them anywhere. I prefer to use it outdoors, weather permitting. The description says "spins at UP TO 47 rps", but I can't tell any difference between "UP TO" 47 and a real 30 rps.

I did a google search and found that it *might* be a 300W motor, which is pretty standard. It has three speeds so it might be more.

This is an 11.1V battery - I have one and it it excellent. The product description states that it is not compatible with the 14.8V battery. If your system needs the 14.8V, it will not work with this 11.1V battery. Confusingly, the description for this battery does state that it is a replacement for the model JN039 battery, which, if I'm not mistaken, is the 14.8V. Perhaps an Anker rep can weigh in here to clarify the situation.

The big question is: Now that we have burnt out something inside the main unit, can we replace this unit with one that has been made for 240V? If anyone knows where we can source the main body of the machine with a 240V rating, please let me know. Thanks

Yes, you can, but it's not 19.2 V. It's 3.7V, 150 mAH, if I recall. If you google "S111G Replacement Battery" you'll likely find some stores selling them. There's a seller on Amazon, but the product doesn't get good reviews. On average the battery costs $6-7. You'll need some small screw drivers, wire strippers, a soldering iron and some patience to replace it. It's not plug and play.

Hi, i bought a dell battery few months ago, but when i recieved it (im from chile) the battery was of 11.1V and not 10.8V as they said. If i buy to this supplier a 10.8v battery, will i recieve exactly that?

Beverly,I'm a bit confused. The battery I ordered from Amazon was the larger NP-FV70, not the NP-FV50. I believe I may have mentioned the NP-FV50 as a better choice for someone that wants a smaller battery between the NP-FV30 that came with the camera and the larger NP-FV70. As such, I can't comment on that battery or the vendor that sells it. But I can comment on the larger NP-FV70. It lasts a long time on the camera. I haven't even come close to draining it. But it is a fairly large (and heavy) battery on a small, light camera. It's not an issue for me, but it might be something to consider. For the money, I'd probably go with the larger battery.Rick Beverly,I'm a bit confused. The battery I ordered from Amazon was the larger NP-FV70, not the NP-FV50.

actually quite a lot with the GF1 ! I upgraded to GX1 which has a smaller battery and then I stared to notice that GF1 had great battery power... You can always get a non brand battery for great price!

Hello Kristin, We can't speak for other sellers of this product, but if you purchase from Battery Supersite, we ship the higher capacity version of this battery which IS sealed (non-spillable) lead acid and 100% rechargeable. It has the same 12v output as the 12v 4.0ah, but is rated at a higher capacity. The capacity is listed as the "ah" rating, or amp hour rating. The amp hour rating is simply just the capacity of the battery and how much reserve power it can store. It's like the gas tank in a car; the larger the gas tank, the longer it can run. We always search the market for high quality batteries that will have a higher capacity but keep the output the same. The important thing to check is the voltage as the voltage should always be the same (ie. a 12v cannot be used where a 6 volt was used). A good example of this is the 4ah and 4.5ah battery. Nearly every battery manufacturer has updated this size battery to the 5 amp hour battery which will provide up to 20% longer runtime than the previous capacity battery. Feel free to contact us with any questions. Battery Supersite "The Amazon Battery Experts"

Are you saying you just got one (from amazon or other venders) and what you got is dated as being made in 2007? If so, I'd return it since if it's been on their shelf that long, the battery will likely not accept a charge now. If you're saying you've had it since then and wonder how good it is now, that depends on how it's been treated and used. I have a different brand that I've had for 10 years and took it camping several months ago. I used it to power a raft trolling motor where it supplied ~8 amps for over an hour (it's battery is rated at 18 amp hour). I've kept it charged following the instructions of "Recharge after every use and at least once a month", so that's what can happen.

I have a DV7, I think that the base is the same for most of them, the difference is probably in the configuration. Worst case scenario, it is from Amazon, so you can send it back.
