So far I have a bunch of hardcase CNHL 4s 6600mah batteries and they've been fine. One was problematic (went below 3v for no reason) and CNHL sent a new one for free. I call this great customer experience.

I also have one softcase Ovonic 6s 6500 mah battery which is fresh (6-7 bashes or so). Doing alright so far.

Really waiting for SMC to make their batteries easily available in Europe. Was in touch with them and there might be something happening this spring or so. Maybe direct order/shipping from China or from a warehouse in Europe. Would love to check out their batteries.

For me, most of my batteries currently are CNHL G+ Pinks, I have multiple batteries in 3, 4 and 6s versions and for the quality and price point in my opinion you can’t beat them, I recently got a pair of 4s G+’s for under £45 in one of their flash sales..!!
My others are Graphene Panthers 3, and 4s also very good, but only buy them in the sales or special deals
Also have Onyx, they are very good but just too expensive in my opinion.
Couple of ageing HRB’s 6s 6000mAh, I think they’ll get retired soon though as their resistance is all over the place, they were my first 6s packs

CHNL for bashing
