I eventually want to get the platinum.. Ive had many people recommend it to me. But I dont know much about the apogees and I hear there technology is alot safer than li-po. So they may be the way to go. But at this time i would say get the plat.

thats why i am torn, the apogee are safer and i can get 2 for almost the price of 1 platinum, but there 3800 mah. BUT the orion plat is 4800 mah and although there lipo, there one of the safest and best out there. and i like the fact that you hardly ever need to balance them, even though its always a good thing to do. but that price tag just gets me.

I'd get the Apogee, I generally prefer them to Orion Batteries.

After using a bunch from each brand I find the Apogee ones better overall, but its not like the Orion ones are bad.
