People finding lithium batteries expensive. Yes, but I use batteries coming from an old laptop computer. You can get or buy several packs from a computer shop for few $ and discard the poor cells. I use 3 of them in series in my transmitter, 3 X 4 cells in series for the starter or control panel. The big advantage is that you can charge them anytime, they have no memories and great capacity.
