    Hi,
    I'm thinking of buying a second battery for my A8Jr. Does anyone know if the A8js/A8jp/A8jr..ec all use the same battery?

    ... unfortunately, yes all of the A8's use the same exact battery... I know most with the Js model would have liked something with a little more kick, but they're all 6 cell 4800mAh batteries.

    That's correct, sometimes some people want more battery life, like the W3J and its multi-bay, but obviously the A8js/a8jp doesn't have a multi-bay.

    So we then recommend another main battery and carry that with them. It is not too big either, more like the size of 2-3 deck of cards or so. This will allow users to 2 hours and 30 minutes or so on each battery.
