Radiomaster 6200 Lipo vs 5000 Li-ion

Which gives the longest runtime on a full charge? The radiomaster lipo or li-ion pack? The lipo has 1200 more MAH but the li-ion pack can safely run down to a lower voltage.

Running in a TX15 if that matters

It depends on what tour using it on. On a glider, long distance plane or something you are not punching (low draw plane) the throttle at all with li-ion pack would pry be the way to go. But on 3d, acro, edf (high draw plane) the lipo is the way to go.
Either way the 6200 would pry give a little more run time. If weight is a factor the li-ion would be lighter than the lipo per mah. But again only good for low draw setup.

I used to run the 18650s 3200 mAh in my transmitter but now use a 21700 5000mAh pack in my transmitter. I can go all day with either. I prefer LiIon over LiPo. they take way more abuse without failing. I have done some serious abusing of a couple Li-Ion packs in quads and planes, not just in my transmitter, and they have come back for more everytime. A lipo under same conditions would have been dead several times now.
