Best Lipo Batteries/Brands???

[ColinLeonard688]

I have been using venom batteries for a long time now and I really do not like them. Their prices are really high for the performance I get out of them. I want to switch battery brands but I always change my mind about who to go with. I'm stuck between Power Hobby, gensacearespammers, SMC, and Spektrum smart batteries. Can anyone help?

There are threads out there for this. But I will just say stay away from spektrum. You won’t be happy with that performance either. Their smart tech is cool but their run time is terrible (in my experience).

i run power hobby a lot, no complaints. Never had SMC but have some on the way. And I have had 1 set of gensacearespammers.. and they were good too. Not too punchy but they were only 50c

Believe it or not, most of the Lipos on Amazon are actually pretty good. I like socokin, zeee, Hrb, hoovo. A lot of people also like CNHL Lipos. Turnigy Graphene Panther is a really good battery. Ovonic seem fine. Keep in mind it can be a hit or miss with any brand. You might get 9 good Lipos from the same company and the 10th one comes with a poopy cell.

Why is this thread still going? It should have ended after the first response.
