Not exactly what you are asking, but I am running a 5300 pack and can run two 5 min mains +10 practice laps, no problem. It doesn't quite have the same punch at the start of the second main, but it's not bad.
When I charge it after a 5 min main + 3-4 practice laps, it usually only charges 800 mAh or so, as indicated by the charger. I'm planning on going to a 4000 shorty soon.
