Not trying to be rude... check out the search function...

Turnigy's i have two of them with no problems. I would buy them over zippy's.
I have a friend who got a bad 5s pack. He has been trying to get the issue fixed without much luck...

So i would buy turnigy again but there is a small gamble.

I have four Zippys and they perform great for me. I have had two of them for about three months and the other two for about a month and a half.

Read through the forum and you will find a lot of praise for the Turnigy batteries as well. The vast majority of people using Zippy and Turnigy have nothing but good things to say about them.

I have 6 3s 30C Zippies since months and they are simply outstanding !

Perfect, reliable and excellent perfomers. Never had a single issue even after months of hard races and bashing with Erevo

I bought my 1st pr of 3S Turnigy's last month. When I got them one of them wouldn't charge due to a low cell (0.28v). It managed to get the voltage up and it charged, but that cell was 0.4v low to the other 2. I have a charger that charges thru the balance connector and that salvaged it.

Its no diff than the other voltage wise now. As long as you're willing/able to deal with these kinds of probs, either of the brands are great deals for the money.
