Default Best quality 2s Rx battery and charger

I'm getting ready to order the flash point 2s pack but wanted to know if there are any better options out there. I've posted in a few battery threads with no luck. I'm not looking to get the best deal. I want the best quality 2s pack for my receiver. I also need a 3s battery for a starter box and also a LiFe battery for my m12s unless the one that it comes with is pretty good.

I just run flashpoint 2s packs in my mt4 and m12.

I'm assuming you are outfitting a mugen so I'll say this, I like the flashpoint packs but I've also tried the proteks. They take forever to balance charge and just frustrated me. I'd stick with the flashpoint. If you can afford the few extra bucks.

Most people run 4s on starter boxes. If so a cheapo smc works fine for that.

I'm not trying to cheap out on anything so is the smc a good quality battery and could you also point me to a nice charger?

I've heard nothing but good things about the iChargers. They have a few different ones depending on price range.

If price is not a factor, the LRP. They have them in stick or hump configuration, LiFE or LiPO. Their hump LiPO is also smaller than the Zippy 2100 from the HK range (that being their only advantage)

Is this the LRP you're talking about and is it higher quality than the flashpoint battery?

Yes, if you need a stick pack. Rx batteries also come in the hump configuration, named after the most common configurations of NiMH packs in the old days (stick or hump). As stated, it would be great if you'd say what car you're installing it into

That one seems to be out of stock on every site. And I've never heard of that brand. Is it worth hunting down for the quality?
