Default lipo battary - which one to use

Hi
I am using a 3200 mah, 20C 3S lipo for my E-flite apprentice 15e. Lately, i have been looking for lipo with higher mah hoping to have more flight time. Is the following cofiguration ok to use for my E-flite apprentice 15e.
a) 3800 20C 3S
b) 5000 20C 3S
c) 4000 20C 3S

What i am not sure is that with 20C and 3S as the same as E-flite stock lipo battary, can i use a higher mah one like 4000 or 5000. I hope to have longer flying time.

thanks, Ted.

Larger mah will just be longer run time - its like having a bigger fuel tank. As long as the bigger capacity lipo will fit and their added weight doesn't mess up anything, you're fine. The bigger capacity lipos will weigh more than the lower capacity lipos.


Are the lipos you're using now hot when you're finished?
