Looking for good cheap 3s 800mah-1000mah batteries and is JST or XT-30 better?

[CrazyFastFlying]

Hi,

I am getting some new 3s 850mah-1000mah batteries, but I don't know where I should get them or what brand is the best. I need a reliable but cheap battery. Also, is JST or XT-30 connectors better?

What are your thoughts?

Thank you!
Jeremy

I like the tattu batteries, I use xt-60's on all of my batteries so I don't have to worry about compatibility...

Aren't they kinda expensive?

 

[CrazyFastFlying]

You use XT-60 even in the mighty minis?

Xt30 is much better than JST for current handling. But if you are running cheap batteries, that may not be an issue. You need to be more specific on what you consider cheap. Did you have a price you are looking to stay under?

Cheers!

Yeah, but they're also have high C ratings and I abuse them whenever I fly my Shrubsmacker and they've held up very well.

Yup

I'm trying to stay under $12 per battery. Also, from the US.

Yup

Yeah, it't probably worth the extra money.

The Tattu's normally go for 12-15 bucks on Amazon

 

[CrazyFastFlying]

Yup

How do you fit everything into the fuse? Do you use 9g or 5g servos?

THIS?

5g servos, I normally don't position my servos near my other electronics.

 

[Grifflyer]

THIS?

Yup that's what I have.

Where do you get your 5g servos?

Sorry for all the questions!

 

[CrazyFastFlying]

Yup that's what I have.

I don't know if I can justify spending $15 on each battery. I need at least 2 so that's $30+!!

I use the Ebay servos, if no one asked questions no one would ever learn

Whoops I messed up, I actually use the 3.7g servos. They've gone up in price recently they're hovering at about 2$ a servo...
