Reducing Motor Output for 6S Battery

Hello,

I previously tuned my quadcopter with a 4S configuration following this guide. I was able to get good results and a stable flight in LOITER and GUIDED modes. However, when I switched to a 6S battery (using the same specs) and had to tune the PID again, despite having fairly good stabilize and alt hold performance, LOITER mode introduces wobbling in the quadcopter, also, I had to reduce the gains by a considerable amount to make it flyable.

Because I was able to get a decent tune before, I’m starting to think the drone is overpowered and would like to know ways of reducing the motor output or current limit so the quadcopter can behave similarly to how it does when flying with a 4S battery.

Here are my specs:

  • Holybro X500
  • Pixhawk 6X Mini
  • Xing Iflight 3110 900kv
  • VGood 80A ESCs
  • 4S 5200mAh / 6S 4000mAh
  • Weight: ~ 2400g

Also, I attached a log with the 6S battery in stabilize mode, I’ll be flying soon and hopefully bring more relevant logs.
