I’m a Psyker main, and I like getting my penances done. I managed Pick 'n Mix without a premade fireteam, I’ve completed almost all default Psyker penances (I’m saving Blessed By Fate so I can unlock all of the hats at once). The only Penance I seemingly cannot complete without teammate aid is Warp Battery. For those who might not bother with Psyker, Warp Battery requires that I maintain maximum Warp Charges for 5 minutes in one single mission. My current record is 4 minutes 7 seconds of maintaining max stacks in one mission; and that was with me requesting my team to let me kill the special and elite enemies, as that is required for me to get the charge stacks. It’s not fun for me to have to grind out special kills and compete with my team to kill gunners and snipers, and it’s not fun for my team having to cover a Psyker for a penance. My best bet is to hold a game hostage at the end of a raid mission so I can spawn infinite specials FOR A PENANCE. Please reduce the requirement to a maximum of 4 minutes to make it bearable to get.
Before Patch 13, this achievement was trivially easy as brain bursting any enemy would give a warp charge. I believe I got this on my first try, where I managed to keep maximum charges up for not only 5 minutes, but the entire mission.
However, a friend of mine and Sienna main from V2 got into Darktide after the patch and unsurprisingly mained Psyker. Even with a group of friends cooperating with him, like you he’s only managed a bit over 4 minutes. Sometimes there just won’t be an elite to kill before the charges decay, even on the highest difficulties, and he’s not quite ready for HiSTG or Malestrom missions quite yet.
I think your suggestion of lowering it to 4 minutes is very reasonable while still maintaining a challenge. Other fixes might be to simply hold onto at least 1 warp charge for 5min (instead of max), as they now decay one at a time unlike when this penance was made. Another (perhaps too easy) fix would be to maintain them for at least 5 minutes total in the mission, rather than consecutively. Either way, it’s not a fun penance to try to get at the moment.
Yeah… I’ve got Warp Battery using Assail and Revolver (Damnation High Intensity).
Unfortunately best option is to lose staff and go with Gun-Psyker, preferably with a gun that is prefect for killing specials (Revolver). Also don’t take 6 stacks of WB - less stacks less work.
If you try to do it with BB, it requires both coop and skill. Coop is rare in PUB, but achievable. As for skill… well I had to switch tactics so you can guess what my skill is. 
It is in total, but it is still really hard to pull off, even with decent cooperation.
