Mini CP battery question

[Aftab]

We all know that stock batteries on Mini CP last only few minutes at best. Which is the best Lipo in others experience, that would give at least 4-5 minutes of solid power. I read about 400 mah battery but I don't want to burn my motor.
Thanks,
Aftab.

I'm currently using the Walkera 350mAh batteries with quite a few recharge cycles already past and no problems so far.

I get a strong and consistent 5 minutes flight time using these compared to the 3:30 minutes I got with the Hyperion 250mAh batts I also have or the 2:30 minutes from the stock batts.

The motor isn't stock but it's not brushless either.

The batteries I use are heavier though so while one can get a longer flight time for practicing orientations and similar non-energetic types of flight, the overall performance isn't up to doing much in the way of 3D.

One other issue though is that these batteries are a little larger than the original batteries so they won't fit the battery cage but I cut the battery cage off of mine soon after I got it in favor of holding the battery on with a strip of velcro.

Between batts, I let the motor cool down for about half a minute and the temperature seems to remain within a fairly safe range.

Im getting about 3 1/2 out of the Walkera 240mahs.

Bit of a delayed addition to the thread but how are these?

I know you've got to reverse the terminal ends somehow as they're meant for nine-eagles - I am aware they use the same connector but different polarities.

Anyone try these lipos yet? If so how did you reverse the leads?

Thanks

Im using these and they work great . You will have to adda little tape around the battery so they stay in the battery holder but not a big deal . As far as switching the polarity you just push down the holding tabs on the connectos and pull them out and flip them and put them back in the correct position . Very east to do and these are the best batteries i have tried yet on the mini .

Cheers, I'll order some and if I can't figure out the process I'll PM you lol

Thanks again!
