For what heli? What size pack (voltage, mAH, C rate)?
DN Power has a 2x 2150 mAH 3S 20C with balancing charger setup for about under $140.

These are Trex size batteries.

Don't forget to add the expense of the ac-dc converter.
I have the FMA CellPro 4s ($64.95) + Husky Elite Jump Pack ($40).
If you get the new Align battery (3s1p 2100mah Align Lipo Battery 22C) that's $59.95. The adapter to charge Align batteries is $10.
So, grand total $65+$40+$60+$10 = $175. Barely over budget :)
