We all struggle for the batteries and the cost involved with it.

I prefer to use the HK Nano-tech or RCDhamaka IND-POWER batteries, as found them better than others and budgeted.

You can try the below way to get 2200mah 3S batteries on reasonable cost and i am sure most of the people must be doing the same:

1. Login to Hobby King website (Most of them have )
2. Open the website http://hk.rc-international.info/swarm and enter the keyword nano-tech 2200
3. The result will show the list of lot of batteries, click on the battery link saying Turnigy nano-tech 2200mah 3S 25~50C Lipo Pack (you can choose other C rating as per your need)
4. These batteries are only for $10.27 instead of public display price of $17.99
5. Try to add 2 batteries, so that the total weight comes in 500gm slab and you will still have 26gm to fill the packet.

Now the cost which turnouts to be:

Battery Cost: $10.27 x 2 = $20.54
Shipping Cost: $9.99 (International (Registered) Air Mail 301-500 gm)
--------------------
Total: $30.53 =  INR 1985.45 ($1 =  INR 65)
--------------------
* the batteries get ship very fast from HK as comapre to otehr orders, as this is a easy pack; normally within 1-2 days only.

Custom may be applicable but chances are your parcel may be released without customs as package size/cost is on lower side.

so effectively you can get a nano-tech battery just around INR 993.00 even with this higher $ rates or if you don't want to wait for 1-2 weeks then RCDhamaka IND-Power (20C) for INR 1,049.00 is another choice.

i hope this helps 

Wow! Nice one Anand  . Not only Turnigy nano-tech 2200mah 3S 25~50C Lipo Pack, we can use this site for other stuffs also from HK with a lesser price!

I WISH RCDHAMAKA GUYS STOCK THE BATTERY SOON

Please wish without making it look as if you are shouting.(this rule needs to be implied a little strictly)
They should be back in stock soon

Anand - you have disclosed the secret of your success

thanks anand sir for giving this information I have a doubt how to use the buddy codes tried a lot googled it but still didnt find what I wanted

@rcrcnitesh

1. Buddy code is integrated into the url only, but you need to be login first to the hobby king website (see attached).
2. Many time buddy codes gets expired also, so just ignore them, try another one.
3. If the buddy code is active, then you shall see the price change with a * sign (see attached)
4. You can use only 1 buddy code per order
5. There are quantity restrictions also, but should be ok for individual order or multiple orders can be placed. (3 nano-tech batteries can be purchased with buddy code in single order)

try doing the above, and see if it works for you.
