Default Power Problems

Ok here is me problem. I own a SS and I am only getting 2-3 min worth of flight. I am using a 6 cell 1100mh battery pack and charging it with a Vision Peak Plus AC/DC Peak Charger. When I charge the batteries they only charge up to 8.89 volts on a one amp or 4 amp charge. The problem is I can get to a good height with the SS but once there the motors dies. If I go back to no throttle and them back into throttle the motor will kick back in for about 30 sec. I am also using the ICS480 20-Amp ESC on the SS. Does this problem seem to be with the battery packs or with the speed control. I know that the speed control will cut off power to the motor when the batteries go below a certian votlage. If it is with the battery pack does anyone have an recomendations on a good battery pack for this set up.

Thanks
Mark
