Lipo Battery Shootout 4 – Price Comparisons
BigSquidRC Lipo Battery Shootout 4 – Price
We can do all kinds of esoteric tests, but for many buyers they only look at only one thing, PRICE. And yes, while some consumers have a limitless checkbook, most don’t, therefore we reward the win in this category to the battery that can be purchased at the lowest price.
Perhaps price is the single most important category of the shootout, yet you would think it would be the easiest to judge, but think again. Multiple prices of these batteries can be found all over the net and retail world. Whenever possible, we used the price off of Tower Hobbies as Tower tends to be close to “street price” for most products. For others we used the official prices off of Horizon’s web-site. When a battery was not listed on Tower or Horizon, we resorted to Google and/or the manufactures website. The prices we list below are our best shot at listing a true street price as of March 2012.
