Cheapest places for batteries

[Batfish]

I also use the SPTs (Solder-less Power Tubes) from MEC. They've got good customer service as well. I have both 6- and 8-cell SPTs with IB3600 cells that consistently out-perform my GP3300 packs.

I'd just like to make one comment about other businesses on this forum. I believe it's in poor taste to come on RC-Monster.com's forums and suggest that people shop elsewhere for products sold here. If you think there's a better deal elsewhere, PM Mike and (if he can't beat it) PM another member to tell them to shop there.
I, too, believe that it is important to keep options open and shop around. I spread my business between my local hobby shop, which a friend owns, RC-Monster.com, Tower Hobbies, and other smaller assorted online retailers. However, I'm not going to post public messages on this retailer-hosted forum to shop elsewhere for a product he has in his catalog. It's basically a matter of respect.
I think Mike showed great restraint coming to this thread and posting, without comment, that he had competitive pricing on products that people suggested shopping elsewhere for.

I'll get off the soap box now.
