Status: offline 		Anyone had any experience with cheap lipos,such as ones from ebay like this -
http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-2200mAh-11-1v-15c-20c-11-1-LiPo-3-cell-RC-Battery_W0QQitemZ160307314916QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio_Control_Parts_Accessories?hash=item160307314916&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

The more expensive lipos you will be looking at poaying atleast twice as much.
Rated at 15c,2200mah,and their is 2 for under $40,seems to goo to be true?

So anyone tired them/anything like this and had any problems?

http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7299&Product_Name=Rhino_4900mAh_4S_14.8v_20C_Lipoly_Pack

That's the battery I have on the way to me now. The ones I've seen work well, amazing deal.

Status: offline 		i have 4 of the mystery lipos. 2400mah 15c 11.1v all fine for me. maybe their discharge rating is a bit over-rated.
in my experience, they are cheap and they work

people may disagree with me

I just bought that 6000mah lipo a few minutes ago on Ebay, $70 shipped to Washington seems like a good deal to me, the seller says it new.
Does that look like a good deal to you?
