LiPo and Axe CP

[pd417]

Excuse the newbie question, but I want to upgrade to LiPo batteries and get a good charger for my Axe CP.

I don't have a ton of cash to spend on batteries, but I also don't want to buy junk either.

Any suggestions (Size, brand etc..)?
(Links also appreciated).

well i'm a heli newbie, but am well versed in nitro cars and trucks as well as ep cars/trucks. i've got the axe cp too (first heli ever) and upgraded to a 3 cell 1320mah 11.1v lipo that's made by thunder power. $50 each at my lhs and these things about double the flight time and increase power nicely.
