Recognizing that the A2s has been out for at least a year now and tech marches forward, I still wonder if it wouldn't be worth while for Dji to come out with a new battery for the A2s that has more AH, or more fly time? Certainly there is a size constraint with both the propellers and the weight of the battery, but certainly I woud think that they can pack more juice into a smaller frame by now. So that would be a great "after market" sales tool for them if they could capture a portion of the market share with functional accesseories like an improved battery.
Thoughts?

it's only my opinion but i would think unfortunately the air 2s no longer exists on teh dji radar.  it's not eol in terms of support as there will continue to be software but i believe they are no longer thinking about making such improvements since they have moved on to the future drones and resources are limited.  dji is not into the accessories business and new accessories don't generate significant revenue or gain market share for them so it's unlike they're going to introduce yet another sku to the thousands they already have.  the goal is to reduce, not to increase.  also, replacing it in the kit makes no sense at this stage (for various reasons).

honestly i don't see how adding a few more minutes to a battery really helps that much.  many people (like me) simply use more batteries rather than trying to exhaust each battery.  if you need one hour and a battery gives you 30 minutes, use 3 batteries (instead of 2).  then if each battery gives you 35 minutes, you still need 3.  i hardly ever go below 15 or 20% but that's just me.  the only time i find myself needing every single minute is missions/waypoints where you are making that calculation.

if and when dji improves on that tech, you'll see it in air3.

my avg flight time in a2s is 20 min
+8 min is nice result for less power effective drone (compared to original a2)

These aftermarket type items are out there as pointed out.   Although the juice is rarely worth the squeeze.
