Ok so I'm building my first quad. I've ordered a few things but am unsure about others. Here's my list accompanied with some questions. AUW will be a little north of 2.4kg
1. Frame - Tarot 650 sport
2. FC - Naza v2
3. Motor - SunnySky V3508 KV380

4. Gimbal - Tarot T2D or Zenmuse h4 3d
5. Camera - Gopro 4
6. Prop - Carbon fiber 15x5 (But not sure what brand)
6. ESC - ?
7. Battery - ?
For the ESC I heard good things from rotorgeeks. Especially how they power down to a safe value when they exceed the amperage limit.
Still not completely understanding battery size needed. So below is a link to data sheet for the motor. Since I'll be using 15x5 props to get enough thrust I'll need a 6S battery and will draw 12.8 A at 100% thrust. So does that mean I need a battery such that capacity (mah)*max current (C) >= 4*12.8 ?
Besides adding weight, is there a negative to going with a larger than necessary battery? Any risk of overloading the motor?

Need a recommendation on a good charger. I plan on buying several batteries so I don't care about fast charging. I want something simple to use (no huge menu), but very consistent, balance charges and most importantly safe (maybe verifies the correct settings needed for a given battery before charging). Anyone have experience with this turnigy accucel 6 charger?
