I bought a zippy 5000 mah 30c.......and only got about 40 flights at 5 min on my trex 600....these being 45c...will they do much better ? Or is a zippy battery a zippey battery?

The 45c zippys handle hard discharging in a big heli better than the 30c.
your cycle life will depend on your charging habits more than anything.I would only charge the 30c at 1c max.The 45c will charge fine at 2c.
so yes the 45c zippys are better in your application.

Yes they will come down cooler and carry more head speed. You will get more cycles out of them because your not abusing them as bad as the lower c packs.

bought 2 of these batteries and neither worked out of the box - one had a cell that would only charge to 3.89v and the other had a cell that didn't register. my bad for putting velcro over the warranty stickers...i'm sure if they had worked it would have been nice but i have to give it only one crown cause it was broken before i got it.

Perfect 6s 600 heli pack. Paired with turnigy 4030 1100kv, pack comes down at 110 f on a 95 deg day. Still gets over 100 deg (power) on a 65 deg day. Did I mention this pack is perfect for a 6s setup?

Have about thirty flights one of these and so far so good. I fly a Trex 600 fbl on a 6s setup, castle ice 100 and 600mx motor. Flys great good punch out of the hole, no hard 3d just flips rolls loops and basic flying around. Flying 5 minutes at 1900 rpm to 7 minutes at 1700 rpm, 3.75 to 3.8 per cell. Perfect for me, thinking of ordering a couple of more.
