RE: Where to buy least expensive quality Lipo batteries?
Wow this is a really quality thread. I just bought a NexStar EP and was saddened to find out how much the recommended batteries cost through Tower Hobbies and other big name shops. The cheapest were the heavy NiMH that were around 50 a piece. The NiMH I had to look elsewhere were even more and I won't even mention the $130+ chargers I needed for the 2 battery backs. I was just regretting not getting the gas engine version after seeing those prices and was just about to pull the trigger on 2 Ebay batteries when I found this thread and looked up the sites recommended. I am in IL so I probably would try Value Hobby. I sent them an inquiry to see what they recommend for my application. Thanks for saving me some $$$ now I can get several packs and spend more time flying than watching them charge. On a side note do you guys recommend the temp sensor used when charging LiPO's?
Thanks
Joe
