I use the Kokam HD 1500 2-cell packs. I charge with either the Hobbico Mark II or a Triton. Gets 40 minutes or so of slow cruise. I'm not sure if that's "maximum", but it's all I can take!

I also use a 1500 mah battery (sorry don't know the brand) and use a Triton charger to charge it up. The Triton's a little pricey but handles ALL my batteries...LI-Po, Ni-Cad, NmHd. I get about a 1/2 hour flight time on it. Everything else it stock.

Go with 2s2p TP2100 - the SS can haul the weight and stay up beyond the point where your thumbs cramp and your beer has gone warm and flat!

I'm also using the 2-cell 2100 Thunderpower with a brushless Mega 16-7-8 and a 2.5:1 gear reduction. Anyway, it will fly as long as I can stand it (35 to 40 minutes) and the light weight of the battery is really great.

I run a TP 2100 on the stock 300 with a Fma Super 20 ESC 30 mins.
Pick up a Hobbico Mark II Pro series $50 charge 1-8cell NI cads or mh or 3 lipo or 3 lion
2 ports for dual charging of transmitter and batts or any other combo.
