    Battery?

    I'm in the market to make the jump to lithium batteries for my 112 ultrex. I see all the name brands for xxx dollars but then again you can find some cheap ones for x dollars. Why buy name brand lithium when you could buy a cheaper version for way less?

    Two reasons. Firstly, some prefer having that great customer support from board sponsors. Secondly, the quality of the internal components, including the cells, may not be the same.

    not necessarily a cheaper version as some of the chinese "branded" are built better than some rebranded "name brand".

    it all boils down to customer service and quick turn arounds like catdude said.

    It's your boat, and your money. I recently violated the "same brand, same era of manufacturing date" rule rather than spend $600+ on three Lithium's when I went from 24 volt to 36 on my T/M. So far, so excellent.
