Default RE: Expensive US made vs Chinese Batteries

I do not know cycle numbers but I have something to add. I live and fly in a remote area. For the price of one TP battery I can take say 10 turnigy lipos. Each pack can then last say 10 times as less cycles and still cost the same. The advantage is I can get ten flights without charging and in the event of a crash all ones eggs (lipos) are not in the same basket (plane!!)

I have no allegiance and hope this is constructive and not inflammatory- this hobby allows us to make our own decisions- unless you burn your neighbours house down or crash in to someone etc its all good!!!
