Default lipo battery

What is a good lipo battery that is priced reasonable and a good lipo charger? Let's say I had $140 for both of these things. Could I get some good equipment? Also, is this a good battery? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...4C-74V-4100mAh

Or are all batterys pretty much the same?

SMC makes good packs nothing wrong with that pack. What are you going to run it in?

smc makes some good lipo's ... but for some really good ones look at the thunderpower's like the 5000mah 40c ... they are great cells ... i have some SMC,Orion,Tekin,Thunderpower and the thunderpower batterys are the best by far .. yes they are a little more cash but they are well worth it.

I havent ordered from Hobbycity, but I have checked them out.  It looks like i could get 2 2s 5000mah lipos, a turnigy 6-cell balance charger, lipo sack, and low voltage warning devices for around $115 shipped.  It seems like others have had good luck with them.

I have been looking into a lipo charger as well. This kyosho model from amain seems to be a good deal. Does anyone have anything bad to say about this charger?

Over 100 watts for 60 bucks seems much more for the money than most chargers are.
