3S Lipo - Information overload

I've been researching 3S Lipo and as per normal there are many brands and prices out there and a trap for young players or not so young in my case.

So what does everyone reccomend brand wise for atight budget, that is reliable and well.... um a good battery?

What are you paying for a reliable well priced battery so i know what to look for.

Jase.

hobbyking.com look for turnigy or turnigy nanotech, for the price these are some of the best packs i have used.
$40ish for a 5000mah 35c 3s compared to the $115 venom packs i have with the same ratings, i reckon i get a longer run and a better ballance charge with the cheapies.

i bought mine from hk on feebay $36 for 4 1500mah 20c 3s batts delivered ....

yep thats 4 batts for $36 delivered...

I'm with Adam, go for hobbyking. I buy all my batts from there, just picked up 6x 2200mah 3s nanotechs for $80 delivered.

Just keep in mind that they have no real warranty (well they do, but the hoops you just throught aren't worth the hassle) so if you get a dud pack from new, which does happen occasionally you've just to write it off.

Easiest way to choose battiers. Pick your voltage (3s in this case), pick your mAh, and then get them in the highest 'C' rating you can afford. Done.
