Need reccomendations for a good 2s/3s battery within a reasonable budget

Hi Guys,

I just found out my specs can take a 2s/3s LiPo battery. I need recomendations for a good LiPo battery that wont blow up or set on fire straight away and i want a good but reasonably priced LiPo. If you know any good ones from personal experience or something, please let me know. Also I'm in Europe so id need something so that the shipping doesn't cost a ton.

I've found my way to smc recently and am happy. Previous battery companies include traxxas, venom, and lectron pro. I really can't notice a difference in them performance wise.

There is a member here who is supposed to be testing and checking lipos soon.

A lot of people use Zee brand batteries. I use Gens-Ace and Venom mostly, but basically, I just buy whatever I find the best deal on. I have cheap chinese ones that I have had over a year that are still doing fine, and I have had name brand batteries that haven't been worth

I would personally pick this:

But I have tried 2 cheap Hoovo LiPos from Amazon and they seem to be doing pretty good. I over-discharged one by accident down to 2.5V/cell (left the car on for half a day), and still doesn't seem to have any issues that I know of (yes, I'm still using it, but I am paying more attention to it for signs of puffing, etc). Zeee and Hoovo batteries seem to be the most popular among the cheap batteries.

They make dragster batteries, as well as normal 2 and 3s. I have the graphene 5200 hard case in my crawler and stampede brushless.
