Best batteries for mCP X?

[Hover_X]

I've been out of the hobby for a while and just went to do some flying and all my batteries are dead. What are the best 200-300 mAh batteries these days and where is the best place to purchase some?

I have upgraded to theSteve brushless mod if that makes a difference.

Thanks

I have been using these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=26736
Every now and then I get a dud but for the most part they are a good cheap pack
I will say I found doing the first 5 or so cycles on the charger increased the lifespan considerably.
I have upgraded the main only to brushless and still get 4 minute flights from mine, all with more than 150 flights
Just my 2 cents

I use the Lectron Pro 300mAh 35C...good performance for 3:30 - 4:00 flight times

Easy to find on ebay

I've been happy with the performance longevity of these on a 4:00 min. flight timer:

However, they are too wide for the stock battery holder. I have the "cram" them in on a diagonal to get them in. I purchased mine last fall (2013). The current run may fit better, may not. The six I purchased are all holding up well.

I had no luck with the previous generations of the Nanotec cells (not the one linked earlier) that I never bothered with the current gen. Thunderpower cells had great performance, but died before the Turnergy cells did. So far the Hyperion and E-Flite cells have lasted the most cycles. I just retired the last of my Hyperion and E-Flite cells this past weekend. Once they can't fly 4:00 min. w/o hitting LVC, into the bin they go.

Gotta agree, they work great!
