Default LIPOs!!

So guys, I’m in search of some decent lipos!! I’ve used 4s REEDY Zappers for awhile and they have been flawless (they always balance out well and i get good runtime with them) now I’m building a 12s 5t so i need some 6s packs!! Can anyone cut through all the marketing BS and just tell me what’s junk and what isn’t?? I am confident that only a few manufacturers in China actually produce lipos and they get rebranded and marked up in cost.. I’ve had Lectron pros, and while their customer service has been great, the batteries arent.. i always lose a cell And after a few cycles they struggle to balance out properly. Think They’ve replaced 5 or 6 of them.. I just want decent runtime and not have cells read 0.0v.. anyway my rant is over. I just hope someone here can dispel the marketing behind the Lipo cartel for me!! Oh bty the search engine on this forum is absolutely horrid

thanks in advance

I find that gens ace are a very high quality battery. I feel they rival batteries twice their cost.

Very important to read this article for running packs in series: I have been very pleased with any of the following brands: SMC, Zeee, ValueHobby and RCJuice

What a crap story. As if 4 cells in one case can not be seen as 2x 2 cells in serie (in one case) Als long you use 2 same model 2S packs it will be the same as one 4S pack. Yes, one pack can go bad, so can cells in a 4S pack also go bad.
