I have a DJI F550 just think a stock 30 esc, stock motors. I was wondering if 25c battery is ok to run on it I currently use a 40-60c 6000mah 4s lipo that gives about 5-9 minutes of flight.

I ordered one but I'm wondering if it might not have enough power for the chopper. I also run a gimbal and tx off the same 4s It works great so far.

The weight difference is 400g which is like me flying with 2 gopros (it's nothing)

30A X 6 = 180A max pull. Although motors will pull significantly less.

Battery, 10.4 X 25 ~ 250A. Therfore plenty enough to cover Max esc capability.

I am using 25c lipos on my pig of a F550 with H3-2D and Lightbridge. I am running 2x4000ma 4S lipos. I get about 10minutes flying.

Ok I just got back from flying in 16 Km/H wind I got 16 minutes of flight and that was moving around and doing things up down foward back ect not just hovering. I hovered for a while to see what sort of drop in voltage I would get it sure goes down slow. It's impressive for the weight I run 2 6000 mah and they were sluggish to fly with but I did use the plastic dji props and now I use the grabner 9.5 props which increased my flight time with the 6000 by 2 minutes. (1 battery per flight)

I'm happy with the weight vs flight time for sure it was snappy not to heavy to fly. Everything was luke warm to the touch meaning it was slightly above the outside temprature so I could just barely feel the motors, esc and battrey. It was less then letting it sit in the sun.
