Since the Flex list of Maestro battery packs is short and contains some that no longer are available, I thought we should build a current community list of what people are using in their Maestro, and if they are still available for ordering.
If you are willing to share with the community, please post a reply as follows:
1. Battery pack model and capacity in mAh:
2. Link (URL) for ordering:
3. Fits inside Maestro (Yes/No):
4. Auto Starting (no button push needed to turn it on)?:
5. Run time in hours that you are getting on your Maestro:
This should result in a more usable list for people purchasing a Maestro (like me), since
the advertised capacity is often "alternative fact" in this market :-)
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Neal

Like David, I also have two of the Polanfo 2000M, but just recently purchased two of the Quslly 20000mAh batteries here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0792Y6XTP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They fit in the Maestro, auto start, do not know run time. I use some of these for other purposes-take them to the beach incase the phone or Bluetooth speaker batteries die. I am going to take the Maestro to the beach tomorrow for field day.
Yes, David this is a good find. I ordered a blue one, it arrives Sunday. With a 20000mAh rating it should last even longer than my other batteries.
So I know the Maestro likes 2.5A so the 2.1A from this battery pack isn't an issue?

Guys
Do a run time test when you get that battery. Many vendors lie about specs, and that battery is not twice as large as the 10,000 mah.

I can not take the credit for this as someone posted that battery find a few weeks ago.
I purchased 16 18650 Lithium Ion batteries and paralleled 4 sets of 4 batteries in series. Fully charged it is 3.7 volts X 4 batteries = 14.8 volts which is under the 15 volt spec. Paralleling four packs of four gives me 12 amp hours which lasts a very long time (haven't ever run it long enough to deplete it).
The whole thing fits in a small travel pouch dimensions 4.5" X 7.5" X 2.5".
