I suppose that you own those relatively new NiMh batteries which are great and have better capacities than the old NiCd.

If you really want more flight time here is a hint, some guys at the field now use Lipo Batteries in their 3D and Pattern planes, you just have to add a BEC and you will be rewarded with a battery with less weight and more capacity, those batteries can be charged (with an appropriate charger in an hour).

There is something that I really never do, I just do not like to leave batteries charging at home while I am out, so I do prefer to charge them overnight with my wal wart and if I forgot to charge them then I use my Hyperion field charger which handles many Lipo, NiCd, NiMh and other kind of batteries as well.

Regards.
