Edit: Me being stupid, they are 18$

Why? Because they are great. Usual cost is 26$. Shipping in EU for up to 10$.
Only 18 hours more

I've had great experiences with turnigy graphenes for the last two or so years. I regularly pull 150 amps+ from my 1300mah 5s/6s lipos and they just keep going strong. Great lipos at a great price.
I use my 4s 1500mAh to jump start cars sometimes haha.
I've tried many batteries and the only cheap battery ive found that compares to something like a tattu r line is cnhl, I was not impressed with the tgy graphenes at all. not sure about eu but the 1300mah 4s 100c packs were on sale the other day for $16.50
Yeah, 30$ shipping, no ty
Do any of your local retailers carry them? As of lately lots of miniquad retailers here started carrying cnhl. I picked up 12 more the other day with a 5% off code from helination for $15.70 a piece. Free shipping.
EU shipping is usually worse. Also for some reason I can no longer ship batteries from many stores because Lipo shipping policy and what not. HK, betafpv and some other smaller stores ship stuff here, noone else, unless I want to pay 30$+
I think its just hobby king, i live in canada ontario and its 35$ shipping, hobby king has the worst shipping prices out there, if it wasnt for this i would buy ALOT of stuff from there
Banggood also ships batteries to EU, but they have an european warehouse in Sweden I think
2016 graphenes - yay!
2017 graphenes - nah...
EDIT: turnigy graphenes
The cnhl G+ series are grahpenes
Sorry, let me correct myself. I meant tgy graphenes.
Tattu batteries from my experience sagged as bad if not worse to the Nanotech. Graphines and volts were much better.
I had really bad luck with these packs when they first came out. Ordered 3 to try. Amazing for the first few cycles, was pulling 120a (KISS telemetry at the time) no problem. I had only flown nano-tech batteries up until that point so it was a whole new experience.
And then 1 cell in each of the 3 batteries just stopped pulling its own weight. Would fly fine for the first 15 seconds and then just drop to almost no power. YMMV but I haven't purchased any since. I've purchased so many batteries since then and have not experienced a failure rate anything like with these.
I think 1500mahs never recovered, since pretty much noone wants to buy them (big, bad cells, huge weight). I own 45C version of 1300s and they are great, cells are still same or close to (0.02V difference) but the highest I can use is under 100A (not really stressing). My motor/prop combo never want more and ESCs are only 20A anyway.
Mine were the 1300mah 65c version.
Ordered some, thanks!

I bought 20 of these about a year ago. At first, they were great. As I started pulling more amps from them, they started showing their true colors. I can only get about 1:30 of racing out of them until they are kaput.
For lower amp draw situations, like freestyle, maybe these would still be worth it.
Favorite batteries: ONBO, R-Line, ERC Graphene
I only do freestyle. Funnily enough, 1000mah version can fly longer than 1300 45C hk and zop batteries. Only RTF (1350mah) beats them, but they have similar sag like 1000mah.
For racing tho, you want better batteries so you wont be looking at cheap options. These are great for getting in air for not so much money (atm, tomorrow they bump back to their original price)
