I weighed my existing lipos; the 2200mAh 3s packs are around 197g. That's a capacity to weight of 11.1mAh/g.
The Zeee lipos I'm looking at are around 15 to 18 mAh/g, approximately 30-60% more energy density. Very impressive!

Ordered a couple of 3200mAh 3S batteries from zeee today, and another five 3S 850mAh batteries from china hobby line.
Should keep me going for a while.

Yes, using an adapter would be fine as well, I'm a bit space constrained in my plane though and I don't like deans connectors so I will change mine.
Making up an EC5 to XT60 adapter would be very easy

Zee global shipping is quite slow. Ordered on 17 July, tracking finally updated 27 July to say that it has been picked and packed and is on its way.

I've been considering buying some more 3200mAh 3S Zeee batteries, as I've found the first two to be excellent. The idea of waiting another month for them has turned me off though.
Had a look at the eBay store tonight, they have the same batteries in stock, free shipping, 2 pack for $61. This compares favourably to the Zeee global store at $85, and $21 shipping.
I then went to look at 2S batteries for my RC car. Zeee global warehouse was $75 for 2x 5200mAh. Zeee ebay store $41 with free shipping for the same items!
And there's a promo at the moment, 8% off on their eBay store!
So $93 shipped for 2x 3200 3S and 2x 5200 2S batteries. Promise of 3 day shipping.
Zeee global warehouse would have been $148 for the same items, with potentially a month of shipping again.
