Gentlemen! Which 10s batteries do you use for F3A, why, and where do you prefer to buy them?

I have for the last 2 years used 10S batteries from Hyperion. The G3 VX4200 (35C) cells. After over 150 cycle I still think they are OK to use. I have a new battery pack and it performs a bit better, but for training the old batteries are still OK.

I buy them at WWW.Newheading.com in Denmark.

Best regards

Peer

3x (2x)5S Rhino 4900, Hobby King. All sets are well above 150 cycles but still going strong.

When I finish my new plane I can weigh the final weight of it. If I need somewhat lighter batteries I think of buying the XCell Lipo ECO (4900mAh, 20C, 592grams) at Lorenz (which I believe are the same as the F3A unlimited batteries).
