larger battery for DJI S900?

I'm currently flying the S900 with GH4 Zen and 16000ma batteries from TBM. Is anyone using larger batteries and getting decent flight times? I'm landing at 21.5v so as to be nice to my lipos and getting 10-12 minute flight times.

I am using the TBM 21,000 lipo. I land at 21.3v. I am getting more time than that on my 15,000 lipos.
 



I was told by a retailer that that sells a 16000ma battery that the 21000ma batteries were too heavy and would burn out my motors with the s900/gh4/z15. I find this hard to believe but is it true? I do believe that you reach a point where the extra amps are not increasing flight times much due to the extra weight but burning up motors???

I have two Tatuu 10000ma and I'm getting 16' of flight. With other packs of 8000mah I'm getting 12'. So in my case the heavier ones (and bigger, they are hard to fit inside the s900) are giving me better performance
 

I'm going to try a TBM 21000 pack. It still is below max weight with my Gh4 and gimbal so I'm assuming it won't "burn up my motors" as I was told. I'm assuming Ed's motors haven burned up yet.
