    Dean, I guess exactly the same as you, ie stock and those I used on my 200 which in this case are Overlander 860. I doubt my batteries are in the best of health but after 5 minutes of gentle hovering / figures of 8 (ish) I'm left with better than 30% remaining.

        As above, I am using the same as I used (use?) on my 200SRX:-
        2 x Stock 800mAh
        4 x Turnigy nano-tech 950mAh
        4 x Overlander 860mAh
        These batteries altogether have done about 6 hours 35mins (65 flights) on the 200srx and 4 hours 3 mins (75 flights) on the 230S and I am now getting approx. average flight times to 30% of 5 mins, 6 mins and 6.75 mins (respectively), although this is highly dependent on flying style & weather (temp & wind). This is about 40% less than what I was getting on the 200SRX albeit that the batteries were a lot newer then.
        I would like to try some batteries that are slightly bigger to help with the slightly aft CG but, at the moment,
        a). 10 batteries is quite enough to keep the this thing serviced all day at the field.
        b). with my current flying capabilities (circuits, 8's & lots of hovering (orientation practice) I don't notice any problems from the not quite perfect CG
        HTH.
