If they would have used D batteries they could
have flown three times as long!
Unfortunately they've not mentioned the type of battery used nor the connection configuration, but if they've used Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries perhaps there's some aeronautical/mathematical engineer that's prepared to venture an opinion of the above comment.
N.B.
AA battery = 2.4Ah (19g)
D battery = 19Ah (110g)
