Hi Chris,
I'm a big proponent of lipo's these days......
Especially since a 9V battery clip cost me an important rocket,,,,, altimeter browned out on launch........
Now I eliminate as many weak links as reasonably possible,,,,,,,
nice shiny solder joints and good connectors with something to fix them in place (tape is fine ).........
This battery in my humble opinion,,,, works better on Q2G2's then a 9V. because they are
just a touch lower in voltage,,,,, not quite as quick to burn the bridge wire........

Also it will run your electronics for much longer then you'd be comfortable on 1 - 9V. and when it's time
you don't throw it away,,,,you just charge it......
The bang for the buck is massive.......
But,,, you have to buy a charger,,,,,,,
https://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__6478__IMAX_B6_AC_Charger_Discharger_1_6_Cells_GENUINE_.html
My charger I've had for years,,, I love it,,,, I paid $125 for mine and $60 for a 12V. DC power supply
for my workbench to run my charger....... my charger will do from 2s thru 6s lipo and just about any other battery chemistry
lead acid motorcycle batts, ni cadmium, ni metal hydride......
This Imax B6 will charge any battery chemistry and it will do 1s thru 6s lipo's ,,, the 1s is good for circuit board batteries.....
and the B6 has a built in power supply,,,, you can use it on your workbench and take it with you to the field and use it off of your car battery.....
The B6 will also cycle batteries as well,,,, brings batteries not doing to well anymore back to life by cycling them...........
I wish I had this charger,,,,,,,,mine is almost as good,,,, I paid 5 times the money.....
Absolute,,,, most important with lipo's ,,,, the secondary white plug is for your charger,,,,,
the charger is a balance charger,,, or computer charger,,,,
the white plug on the battery will fit into a board that comes with your balance charger.
You balance charger will refuse to begin charging if it does dot see voltage from the white plug.......
The white plug allows the balance charger to charge each cell in your lipo pack individually,,,,, and balance them.....
We've all heard horror stories about lipo packs exploding when being charged.......
They don't explode,,,,, but violently ignite like a road flare....... those stories have some sustenance to them.......
If you don't charge a lipo properly ( with a balance charger ) the cells can become so out of balance that one is still calling for current and another overcharges.....
To better understand the white plug look at the pics of a 5s or 6s lipo,,, the balance plug is very wide with many conductors,,,
it gives the charger access to each cell individually......
I use to fly RC,,, I've charged lipo's for a very long time,,,,,do it right,,,,,,never a problem......
Now,,,,,,,
The power plug on the battery your interested in is called a JST plug.............
I am using them everywhere I need a plug in my avionics bay,,,,,,,,
I like them,,,they seem solid,,,,,particularly with a piece of tape on the 2 plugs when you put them together,,,,,,just for piece of mind.........
and since they come on the batteries I like,,,,I don't have to cut them off of the battery to switch to another plug,,,,,,,,,,,,
so here ya go,,,,,,,,

Now your ordering from the other side of the planet,,,,,, your order isn't going to be here in 3 days,,,,,,,,
plus you'll need fill for the package weight,,,shipping cost is by weight,, right,,, ( your not going to like the cost of shipping )
but much of the stuff is not available in the USA warehouse,,,like the JST plugs.........
So here's some fill stuff for your package,,,,,,,
pick which size heat shrink you'd like,,, very handy,,,,,

Ok,,, Chris,,,,,, it's been a pleasure shopping for you,,,,,,lol,,,,,,,
but seriously,,,, you can find a cheaper charger,,,but how much cheaper do you need it to be,,,,,,,,,,
You will be very happy with these items,,,, I promise,,,,,,,,,,
