You will find you get a lot more charges out of the hyperion packs , the turnigy packs are good for about 150 charges , now i know of people that have had 500 + charges from the hyperion packs !! & stiil going strong & thats why there is the price difference ...

Looks like the Hyperion has a tamiya plug while the Turnigy's have that new TX60 plug. The tamiya isn't the best for LiPos while the TX60 is only compatible with Turnigy stuff. From a battery perspective, they are coming basically from the same source so I suspect the battery life is about the same.

I have several LiPos purchased from China vendors and they are all middle of the road as far as longevity. I think the QC on American sold batteries is better so they last longer. But I figure two of the Turnigy's at 1/3 less the US pricing is worth it. Go with the Turnigy but make sure they are in stock. HobbyKing is Notorious for taking for ever (6 months) on backlogged items.

To the OP: Hyperions are better, Turnigys are cheaper. Turnigys have poor soldering and use cheaper cells than hyperion packs, but as long as you get good packs, you can go fast with Turnigy cells too.
Most of the higher grade batteries I have bought do not come with a plug. I have never seen a hyperion lipo with a Tamiya plug either

Uh...yeah...the Hyperion packs do not come with plugs (tamiya?????????lol!) The plug that DOES come with them is a balance plug or tap... they are PQ taps on the Hyperion packs.

Hyperion all the way. Worth the extra money. I started out with less expensive packs and basically wound up replacing them all with 35c Hyperions.

Turnigy or Zippy all the way!!!!
You can get 4S, 5000mAh, 40C for $50.00 !!!! That is the 1/3 th of the hyperion price!!!
They perform very well and if they are not in stock the whole forum is red hot upset about it!!!

If you have seen Hyperion packs with plugs on them, they are NOT NEW PACKS! They do not come with any plug on them unless some car place ordered them special. We are a hyperion dealer and don't even have the option of having plugs put on them!

Been running Turnigy's and Zippys for the past two seasons in all my boats, from P-Spec to Open classes...I'll never pay rip off prices from the "Brand Name" manufacturers......Its called major mark-up.....I'm not saying they are not good batteries, but for the difference in price, I'll buy more of the others and stay on the water longer.

^yup!^

Truth be told, the poor man looking for lipos happens to have a pretty sweet opportunity right now. Neutronics (as far as I can tell) seems to have drastically reduced their stock, and their prices. I think they must have decided to concentrate on motors and blow out the rest of their lipos.

Anyone familiar with the Neu SP2 (46/92C) lipos? Lipos that used to be close to $400 each can be bought for less than $100 now. They only have certain sizes and cell counts..selection is rather limited. I got most of their stock in 4s 5000mah SP2 and 5s 5000mah SP2. The XPI lipos are also priced really low right now, so check them out.

I have purchased HK lipos in the past too, but if you can get the high dollar ones for the same or close...kinda changes the ball game.

The cat is out of the bag...MEOW!

If you click SP2 on the left side there is another page with SP2 batts instead of the XPI's.
