I recently decided to get into boats and bought a Pro Boat Stiletto and I am a newbie. These are the recommended batteries

• DYN5351D 7.4V 3200mAh 25C Li-Po
with Deans Connector

• DYN5352D 7.4V 4200mAh 25C Li-Po
with Deans Connector

• DYN5360D 7.4V 5300mAh 25C Li-Po
with Deans Connector

• DYN5361D 7.4V 6000mAh 25C Li-Po
with Deans Connector

What would be a good choice for the battery as well as a charger. I don't want something super expensive but also something that works

LiPo Power

The larger mAh the longer your running time will be so go for 6000mAh.
I would get 1 4S 5000mAh or larger LiPo with the higher the better C rating, let's say 40C or up.
Charger that works:

You will need power supply:

It looks like that charger is out of stock. Any others? Would these batteries be ok?

Also how hard is it to change the connector? The boat comes with deans but the batteries have bullet.

Sorry but I'm new to all this. I had a blade cx 3 helicopter before this and it was all very simple

Most of the chargers on HK website are ok for what you need to do...
