Battery Selection opinions

[Stormyj]

Hi all. Heres my build.
550 frame
ntm prop drive 28-26 1000kv/235w motors
9x4.7 plastic props
hk 20a esc 3a
apm 2.8

was running with a 2200mah 3s which gave me about 7min flight time. Here are my weights.
item gr qnty total
motor 54 4 216
esc 30 4 120
prop 2 4 8
frame 598 1 598
apm 8.5 1 8.5
rcv 11.5 1 11.5
battery 200 1 200
gps 20 1 20
misc 20 1 20

total 1202 grams

I bought a new battery. New battery 5800mah, 4s 30c/40c and is 568 g for a total of 1570 total. Does that seem too heavy to you guys. I will be watching my amp output and temps to make sure I don't burn up motors or escs. That battery is just huge compared to what I did have on that. My goal is to increase flight time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I can't give you any practical experience as I'm just in the process of starting a build. But all the specs are very similar to this, and ecalc predicted a flight time of around 20 minutes and hover time of well over 30 minutes.

At 4S you are going to have plenty of power.
