As I've said in my earlier post, I'm new to electric helis and I'm in the market for a few 6S 5000mah packs. So, I'd like to ask all of you what is your favorite 6S batteries and why they are or what makes them your favorite. I don't want to get into a brand war so please don't. Thanks to everyone for any insight you give.

Flightpower right now. I would love to try the Kong Power 6s cells for the extra flight time but because they are oversize they won't fit my heli. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Enerland based lipo cells.

Neu is not made by Enerland. I don't know who makes them, but Steve Neu has said they are not from South Korea. I think he said Taiwan.
I like these:
Kokam 4000 30C.
Air Thunder 5000 25C.
While Air Thunders are incredible, I have a 6S 4000 Kokam and 2 3S 4000 Kokams waiting for a 600 when I get around to getting one.

All my 6s 4900's are FP......... I like the consistent power throughout the flight, and you can't beat their customer service and warranty. Air Thunders are my second packs..... I like them becvause when I forget my timer, I don't cringe that I am going to ruin my pack. They have good power through the flight, but I think It drops a little near the end.

What exactly is FlightPower's warranty? And where is the best place to buy them in the U.S.? Thanks

Flight Power has a 90 day warranty and a 50% crash replacement warranty. I believe Air Thunder has followed with the crash warranty. I don't know about the others. I would just shop around to see if there are any coupons off your total order. I only buy from one shop online.
