Default RE: motor- esc- battery- formula

ron...

I have a twin vectored D/F SU-34 Full Back from Hobby Lobby...it flies great. The problem I'm having is Battery failures. It comes with a 4cell 3000ma 20c Lipo pack. Today I measured the Watts..close to 1000 actually 960. The amp meter said I was drawing about 63 amps.

OK I tried a Rhino 4cell 20c 3700ma pack today..and it provided almost full power for a full 4 minutes..something that I can not get out of the batteries that come with the SU-34. Both have 20c displayed on the pack but one is a much stronger and actually works.

What kind of battery pack should I be using for long lasting performance.
