There is a company in Hong Kong called Hobby King which sells cheap LiPo batteries.
I think the same stuff is sold in the USA by a company called Hobby City, which maybe owned by HK.
Check their website. I just bought Turnigy 2S batteries for like US$10 a piece. They also have inexpensive battery chargers, both fo DC and AC.
Good luck

PS stuff from Hong Kong takes around 40 days to arrive

I buy mine from hong kong and have never had a problem. 2 of my 2s 4000 are over one years old with lots of use and power still packed in them. I've always got mine in 2 weeks but you may want to pay the extra for EMS shipping.

X2 on www.hobbyking.com

They are really busy now so ship times can be sporadic, but well worth the wait. Ireceived my last shipment in a little less than a month with regular shipping.

at this point, hobbyking and city are sold out of what you need. Ive been looking at these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Or the hong kong ones on ebay.
