What battery do you use/recommend? I just got an F550. I have a few various 3s batts ranging from 2200 to 5000mah and would like to have a couple 4s batteries.
 

I run a 4S 6000 mAh lipo. The F550 handles it easyily. I also run that same Lipo on my F550 conversion. With the larger AXI 2814 motors, and 12" Props, I am getting 15.36 min flight time (Battery voltage at end 14.9v).

Is that 15.36 with the conversion?
What make is the battery?

Yes that was with the Conversion. No Landing gear or gimbal. The 6000 mAh is the Nano tech 6000 4s. I also tested the 8000mAh Zippy 4S and got 16.47min (battery voltage at end 14.9v)

UPDATE: Stock F550 with 8" Props

I just did 3 flights using a 4S 6000mAh lipo. I was tuning and testing a build I just finished for a customer. 3 Flights all resulted in 16-17min flight times. That was using the 4S 6000mAh lipo, with stock DJI 8" props. I am pretty stoked to see that the conversion kit gets pretty dang close to the stock flight times.

Thank you for your response. Your information is very interesting.
