G'day John
Greetings from downunder.
I am in agreeance with Dave, the nanotech packs from Hobby King are hard to beat.
The turnigy 3S 2650 nanotechs that I use have a discharge rating of 35 to 70C and rated to charge at 8C. From memory they were about $30 USD.
Our situation down here is a little different as our hobby stores mark up prices to a degree that stuff becomes prohibitively expensive. Your pricing in the USA is way cheaper and we often order stuff from the US to save a ton of $.
Having said that I use a thunderpower battery in a big 2m span piper cub, it is a few years old and still performs like new. However the battery Purchased here in Australia did cost more than the plane itself, and the cub was not cheap!
Cheers
Rob B
