I've been using some of the 20C 2200mAh Overlander ones on a 450pro and they are quite good, Turnigy will not be bad either, and I am thinking of some of the 6S ones for my 500 at some point.

Tunny are become very popular & reliable I running 7 on my 500 with no probs but not sure on the Overlanders.

I have bought some Turnigy nanotechs recently - admittedly only for rx use, but I'm really impressed with them.

I have been running my 450 pro on Turnigy 2200 30C packs and they are superb, recently purchased 4 more 2200 35C packs and again they are excellent. They outperform my other Li-Po packs and have a very low internal resistance and at less than £10 per pack delivered from HK I dont think you can do better.

I am using Turningy batts on my 450 and my 550e - cant fault them.

Reading through the comments on the HK site it seems that if you get a good one you will be delighted but they are not all good - some comments about dry joints on the connectors and puffing cells.

They seem to be either really good or really bad.

I have also used a lot of Overlander batts and never had a problem but there is a hell of a price difference!!

Personally I will be sticking with Turnigy from HK - cut the connectors off and resolder them and balance charge them gently.

The Tipples are very popular and work well. Seem happy when charged at 2C. I've just bought 2200 NanoTech from HK and they seem the same as the Tipples. Overlander have been around for a long time and I always used them for NiCds.

I've got three Overlander Sport 2200 packs, one was replaced under warranty because it puffed after only a few cycles and one of the others has gone the same way, in contrast all of the Turnigy 2200 packs I have are all lasting well with no puffing at all plus they are usually cooler at the end of a flight than the Overlanders.

I'm not sure if Overlander are changing suppliers but they seem to be out of stock of most of the Sport range at the moment.

I'm using Flightmax ZIPPY 2200mAh from strom_trade Flightmax ZIPPY 2200mAh 3S 11.1v 20C 30C Lipo Battery on eBay (end time 02-Mar-11 20:00:42 GMT) i also bought some XT60 connectors and converted the 400 and older packs.

I did consider the nanos but I just bought more of these instead.

I use four of the Overlander for my 450 pro, am really impressed, I am also looking for some of the 6s for my 550 e
