Also if you don't have a hv-lipo charger you only charging to 14.8 normal voltage. You could losing very estimated 500+ mah depending on your lipo capasity.
For more power and runtime i'd go with a battery with just more capasity not voltage. but you could do both.
When I practice, I only charge them to 4.2V. But for races, especially 12min mains, I charge them to 4.325V because it put 500mah more into the lipo and it last longer.
