What C rating batteries do you run?

Hey gang,

I just recently built out my first hexa after living in the world of quads for some time. I've noticed that running 6 Avroto motors has my battery little bit warm now when I land. From what I can remember, it seems this is because the battery can't output power fast enough, or the c rating is to low. I'm wondering, what C rating do you fly with your hexa (F550 or otherwise) and is there such a thing as to high of a C rating.

I'm asking because I now need to stock up on 4s batteries and want to buy a bunch at once, so I need to get the order right the first time.

Thanks!

I'm running 25C-rated 3S 3300s & 4000s (two in parallel) on my hexa with Avroto motors. They get a little warm, but nowhere near hot.

Around 10 minutes when carrying my camera (Nikon V1). Could probably squeeze a couple more minutes out of the 4000s---they're new. Voltage is a bit over 11V after 10 min. FWIW...props are APC 12x6E.
