Default Need help on battery selection/set up

I'm new to all of this rc heli but I've got myself a trex 250 plus dfc and a trex 450 pro dfc. Any suggestions on how I can get more flight time on these helos? Both helis are completely stock. 250 has a 11.1 3s 860 mah and the 450 has a 11.1 3s 2250 mah. Any help would be awesome!

The best way to get more flight time is to have more batteries and/or a fast charging setup.

You can get longer flight time by using batteries with more capacity (mAh) at the cost of adding more weight. Or you can lower headspeed for longer flight times at the cost of stability and cyclic/collective response.

There are other things one can do as well and there are guys that have been able to get long flight times on many sizes of heli.
Try searching the Main Forum or the Forum for the heli size you have for more info.

Pulse Ultra packs at helidirect (or elsewhere) are my favorites so far.

Read the "What charger" thread too
https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=476431

BTW.. you are in a old obsolete subforum of a forum of HF.. quite lost...

Update? I am wondering if you mean the charger or our post on the forum?

If you are not sure how to use the forum check out this video.
