1 large or 2 med Batteries

[spikey_58]

Hi. Enjoyed my first visit today - was a lot busier than I thought it would be.

One thing which hit me was the sheer amount of kit people had, with chargers in corridors not to mention the main room. etc

Therefore, for a beginner like myself who hasn't got a whole heap of spares or parts to warrant a station, what is going to be wise with regards to batteries? Last time I bought a battery was over ten years ago and a NiCad so entering the whole LiPo (fire)world is something new and daunting.

Thus, when I go to JE to pick up an SXX and X12, what battery combo would be best? Would you say 1 larger capacity and C rating, or 2 medium sized ones? Options could be

x1 of Team Orion Carbon Pro 5500mAH 90C 7.4v @ £93.99

or

x2 of Team Orion 4000mAH Rcoket pack 25C 7.4v @ £49.99

I guess it all depends how long these packs would last? Would 1 pack do a day or more like 1 race?

Theres so much to learn with LiPo's your help would be appreciated as always

Thanks
