Default Aerobird battery upgrade??

Hi All,

Has anyone done a succesfull battery upgrade for the ABC that increases flight times? I don't mean upgrading to the hobbyzone 7 cell 8.4v battery either, which to my understanding gives more power but doesn't increase flight time. I would prefer it be the same size and weight so that center of gravity is not affected appreciably. (i guess that could be adjusted though if the replacement pack was a big step up)

Or is this whole idea overkill...I seem to remember reading some posts mentioning that the ABC motor is prone to overheating and this shortens its life. Would a "hotter" pack compound this?

Should I be posting this in the battery forum?
