Best lipo battery’s ?

Can't go wrong with Turnigy or Turnigy Nanos...
Surprisingly there's actually only about 4 factories that make Lipos and they're all in China. So many brands are likely to have come from the same factory and been rewrapped. Or a 25% chance anyway... :lol:

I'm just about to go lipo to so interesting reading all the replies.
I'd be normally happy to stick with my 9.6 NiMH but new stock has zero space for a nunchuck style so need to go smaller.
Not to hijack the post BUT what lipo chargers do people use/recommend. Most I've seen are quite pricey.

Imax b6ac from hobby king £35.

You could get the slightly cheaper non ac variant, but then you have to find a power brick for it as well. The AC one runs on mains power so it's all self-contained.
It's not powerful enough for gang charging, but you shouldn't be doing that if you need advice on chargers.

If I wanted pricey I'd go with the Skyrc Q200.
4 channels and capable of 5 amps on each channel without needing special provision. It'll probably be my next charger TBF unless something new comes along in the meantime.

It's a clone of the V1 b6. So use paypal so you can send it back if it's a dud.
Other than that watch it like a hawk for the first couple of charges to make sure it doesn't get too hot and it cuts off at the correct voltage.
There are hundreds of clones out there, a lot of people don't even realise their clones.
I can't advise you to pick it up or avoid tho. You know what it is, and buy it knowing the risks.
It's also the stock B6 and uses a power brick, rather than the inbuilt design.

I got these as its a very good deal:
https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/kong-power-74v-1300mah-20c-lipo-rechargeable-battery-stick-packdeans-2-packs
To replace any standard NiMH battery (even 9.6v), get 7.4v LiPo. Do not get 11.1v
The mAh, get highest you can fit.
...and convert to DEANS (Read up on it. Not that hard to do. Reduces resistance so helps battery life while reducing heat build-up)
