You do bring up a good point. I noticed my hyperion pack I put 95% capacity back in. But my other packs (more than just the zippy) it seems to be only 85%. The next time I charge the zippy I'll pay closer attention and report back.

Are you finding that over time you can't put as much back in? This leads me to believe that the battery can then only deliver less.

Your 7.6A battery is 20% more than my 6.3A so I would expect about 28 mins of runtime. I suspect my brushless converted nitro-revo weighs more than yours and the LST Tires and maximizer wheels are adding more drain. So you batteries sound about right.

I did just read about a guy having much better success w/ Turnigy than Zippy.
