I'll field that one= yes.

Much as I love the zippis for being cheap, part of me is cautious as they are still budget packs. What I do currently is use a pair of 5s 25c 4000mah lipos in parallel, that cost me $200 total, but it does give me extended run times, 8000mah on tap, and cooler running temps.

In your situation, I think its well worth spending just a little bit more money and getting a pair of 3000-4000mah packs in the 25-30c range vs one big 5s 5000mah lipo. If it means having ot save up a little longer, then thats what I would do to get a more reliable battery setup...
