Congrats on the 5 year anniversary!
My Novena still works too, but the battery is gone, and I would like to buy a new one.
Unfortunately, it says "International shipping not available for this item" (probably because of regulations).
And I live in Norway.
Is there an option for buying a battery on this side of the big pond?
The one they originally used was this:
ok, the original battery was out of stock, and the suggested replacement too.
This one might work?
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nan … wxt60.html
Physically a bit smaller, and the connector is different but other than that it looks compatible to my untrained eye.
Any reasons why it would not work?
Novena board schematics say the power connector is compatible with 2-cell Li-on, 3 cell Li-on (preferred), 4 cell Li-on (preferred), 6-cell lead acid, 6 to 12 cell NiMH.
Ok, do I need to worry about the discharge (C) rating? Or is "same or higher" good enough?
(batteries on HobbyKing sure do get out of stock quickly)
I asked MadHacker in the #kosagi IRC on OFTC about the discharge rating for you and got this:
19:07 <MadHacker> Jookia: Same or higher is fine.
19:11 <MadHacker> There's no way the laptop is going to pull anything like the discharge current rating of these drone batteries.
19:11 <MadHacker> Some of them are rated to hundreds of amps.
19:11 <MadHacker> The pack he's suggested is a 30C one 3000mAh one, which means 90 amps in context. 
19:12 <MadHacker> Unless he's got a kilowatt novena, that's plenty. 
That is useful. Thanks!
