Hej Søren
Either the Gaui 800 mAh or the Aplus 850. Both 2s.

Acorrding to Ray Stacy, The best battery he tested was the Gaui 7.4 V battery. I have only tested some cheap Parkzone batteries and they truly were crap. I just ordered some Gaui batteries though and I am about the test them tomorrow. I will post the results in the thread labled "Tail is not steady at all" Hope this helps.

I have the 6 x Gaui 2S packs, and I'm beginning to wish I went 3S instead. With 2S, I find I'm limited to about 4:40 of flight, they loose power early, they bog, and there's not enough power for me to do tic tocs ( which is basically as 3d as I can get ). I guess I need to work on my collective management :)
I've tried an EFlight 3S pack, and the thing screams with the stock pinion, I have to cut the power back to 80-75-80. It has more than enough juice to carry the extra weight, which will probably help in the wind. I think I can tic toc this setup. The downside is that the ESC is getting quite warm this way, so I think a new pinion would be required so the throttle could be raised.

MRivers,
Total agreement on what you've said.
I've seen the same, almost to the second on time, and I'm actually pretty happy to heat up an ESC!! Feels like about 110-130d F to me, but you know how accurate that is...
I'm looking for a smaller pinion, and about 900-950ma 3s batteries, gotta keep it light. But this little girl can WHAIL!!!
Got a TP charger and balancer (both do massive amps and 10s ;-) courtesy of Nikki-the-Great, bat volt meter, got the GAUI ESC manual courtesy of Master Buzzkill. My IR temp gauge will be here soon, about to order a good tachometer. Once I get stocked up, I'll be ready to move faster.
So, like I Just blew $300 on <one> battery for my 600! Flew my 200 twice today, (gee! no time to drag out the lawnmover??? ;-) getting better, vveerryy sslloowwllyy on $25-$35 2s&3s leftover, burned up E-Flites!!!. Who's kidding who? Any aspiring 3d goob out there should have a GAUI-200, or they're just plain lame... my 2$ (adjusted for fuel prices..).
