Lightweight batteries - which brand?
 

Looking to lighten the R1 for 'Ring usage. So firstly I'm looking at batteries.

Well on ebay there's this:

862g, £159.95

Cheaper and lighter than this:

1050g £240-250

So is the first one dodgy, or is it just because of the non-exciting make/brand? -I've heard of racing batteries, and would be happy buying one of theirs, but lighter and cheaper always catches the eye...

Lithium Ion sounds interesting. I thought such batteries needed control circuitry to get the longevity out of them, but looking at the Skyrich website they say its a fit and go solution.

Also seen a brand called Shorai, marginally heavier than skyrich but slightly cheaper...

Shorai makes a respectable battery. Stick with the brand name LiFePO4 packs.
