Thunder Power and Orion make some great batteries. For the money the ProTek batteries from Amain are pretty good as well. I haven't tried the Helios packs yet but i've read some good reviews on them.

I’ve only used revolectrix on my 1/10 stuff, it was the power labs chargers that drew me to revolectrix though.

Great thread, I'm still in the process of trying stuff out and figuring out what to use.
Sounds like I might give SMC and Turnigy a try.
One thing I do want to do is explore 3S. Everything I have is still 2S.

MaxAmps! I've used a fair bit of turnigy and zippy stuff with no complaints but thats only over a year or so, my MaxAmaps batteries have proven them selves now over 3 years of abuse! the hobby king variety have gotten puffy and crunchy. I have to say tho the cost has taken a while to make sense and i do my damnedest to keep all my batteries healthy but on the long end the MaxAmps make sense. hope i don't start a fire with this the zippys and turnigy batteries are awesome esp for budget minded people but I'm now a MaxAmps believer!

:lmao:, never to try 3S, because you will hate 2S after it.

Dynamite reaction 2s packs just because they are easy to get here and i had one exhibit puffing after about 11 months two emails to dynamite with a pic of the battery and they arranged one from a hobby store and had it shipped to me at 100% no cost to me
EDIT: Maybe this isn't the right response for this thread but its my favorite battery.
I've not had a ton of testing time maybe a dozen or so cycles so far, but the ProTec LIHV shorty 3S packs (soft packs) have been pretty great so far. The silicone graphene chemistry is supposed to take a slightly higher charge (12.6 V when charged as Lipo and 13.05 V if you have a LIHV charger) while also being less likely to puff. The run times have been great too, I ran a comp (2.5-3 hrs) with my heavy TRX-4 with the lights on and only ended up changing batteries on my walk back after finishing.

So I just realized I wasn't taking full advantage of these because I was only charging in Lipo mode and getting 12.6 V instead of charging in LiHV mode which I'm fairly sure is safe (the reverse is not) you just miss out on the extra voltage. I had to get a new charger that offered that mode (Hitec X2).
I dont know how much capacity that half volt is worth but its good already, should only get better

Smc. 4s 5200 90c's for 50$ each for my xmaxx. 15 cycles so far so good. I set 2 lvas to 3.6 since stock esc wont let me change cutoff. I get 30 min straight on the 1/8 scale track... 40 min bashing. Cells are matched well and i always balance before charging, which does not take long since cells are so close after discharge. Very happy with my 1st go with smc. I couldnt find any company to touch the price for these specs, and all batteries testing at 3 ohms internal resistance tells me the 90c rating is on point. If these last and dont fall off or puff, this will be the best battery value ive ever had.
Used to be an spc guy. I miss Tom Himes... Best cs ever. When my 2s spc packs finally wear out, im gonna go to smc for their replacements...

Dangit - sorry, I gave up and deleted my post - I have had insomnia and have not slept in 2 days!
Nice catch - thanks for that...
