Looking for deal on 4s lipos

[RickDawg]

Anyone discovered good deals on some 4s lipos?
I'm wanting 2, but, considering 4 if price/performance is good.
6000 mah range, preferably.
Post below if you guys or gals run into anything worth considering.
Thanks!

I think www.amppow.com and www.rcbattery.com are both currently having sales. The Ovonic batteries are okay I have some not bad for the price. The Liperior batteries are supposed to be pretty good.

-edit- sorry wrong name for the second place then I can't spell either.

I have had good luck with Zeees hard pack off of Amazon

Normally the dean’s connector are the cheapest and I just solder my connector of choice on

All mentioned above, but some links. Gens has it's own factory and quality control but at a cost.
CNHL, stay above the 100C and you get quality, below you could end up with junk (relative).
SMC, very strict quality control and guaranteed matched cells.

Stay away from anything Amazon or get 2-3000mAh extra as they all seem to inflate their numbers.
All the 'run-of-the-mill' vendors on Amazon have huge variations between batches. You might get lucky, but this is generally a loosing game lately.
Ovonics, HRB etc all changed their recipe over the last year and historical performance is not matched.

If I compare my 3-year-old Zee to what I got earlier in the year, it's night and day.
Zeee, used to be a very good value but since ~late last year they are bottom of the barrel. My 6000mAh packs die after ~3000mAh, got 4 of them if you want to buy some.

Don't get the flight packs for cars unless you do extreme stuff. This si hands down the best value and power.

Just make sure that you check sizes.


Overview, with real life testing, suggest staying in the top 15 of the 25C range.
