 i am using two Chinese sites i.e banggood which does not ship to india  due to ban and aliexpress which ships lipo to india at very high price

so intimate Chinese site which are selling lipo battery to India at economical courier charges.

Kamal, you would be well advised not to go for this.

Recently there has been a notification banning imports from most of these sites due to misuse of the "gift" concession, and under-invoicing

Personally, I find it better to buy LiPo locally. Many of the LHS keep good quality like GensAce, Tatu etc. Although quality may seem initially expensive, these batteries give double the life of the cheaper ones - and that includes batteries from Hobby King!

I agree. But its not always available in the capacity we look for.
Rcmumbai is the only place I know GensAce, Tatu are being sold.
But nowadays even they don't seems to stock much. No tattu available under 5000mah.

1. Mr. newpg202 obviously you haven't bothered to read my post and link. Further, a lot of stuff on Ali is duplicate
2. Mr. sim-tcr what is the relevance of stocks in LHS to the post? A warning has been issued that Customs are cracking down on all these Chinese Sites. So, whether stock in LHS or not, chances are if you try to import, at the least you will lose your money, and at the worst could have to pay a penalty over and above. Besides which, LHS usually refresh their stocks with fresh (legal) imports

Sorry. I should have mentioned, I never bought or will buy lipo from international sites.
All mine are form rcmumbai.
I was just saying, Even if you are ready pay more, it’s becoming little difficult to source them local.

You are absolutely right. Even the LHS are finding difficulties in importing. And though a lot of development work is on in India on Lithium batteries, it's focussed on Automobile and Solar applications

I ordered batteries from aliexpress and i ordered again and again but battery parcel always stuck at customs or sometimes, parcel is untrackable and i haven't got any parcel.
I lost foreign currency exchange fee and my time.
I will suggest you to buy lipo from importer or RC SHOPS.
I was wasting my time in buying lipo internationally because i didn't knew about rcIndia forum
Don't waste your time in buying few lipo from outside.
If you need lipo in large quantity, then buy lipo from outside.
I don't know why you want to buy lipos from outside at high price & high risk?
sim_tcr sir &  sanjay sir is right.
=>Support LHS and importer.

Note: Sorry for my bad English. Try to understand....

Dear Mr. sanjayrai55, I do read your post.
Mr kamalsahai has the following points
1. Want to  buy lipo battery from chinese sites: So aliexpress is a Chinese site.
2. Chinese site which are selling lipo battery to India at economical courier charges: if you visit the link i shared you can see the shipping cost.
As you have written most of the stuff in Ali is "Duplicate" is mostly depends upon what you are choosing.
"Buy cheap buy twice"

Now, the point is, why should I chose Aliexprss, over LHS or Indian sites? I have been cheated twice by two famous Indian Hobby stores. They simply get the e-payment and did not bother to send the items, even after repeated emails and phone calls. On the other hand there are incidents I got my full money refund, for delay in receiving the product from Aliexpress!
This is my personal experience. I am not saying it for universal.

Thanks

Hi newpg202,

Recently I bought a 5000mah Lipo from xyzHobby... came in couple of days.

Also there is a site for Lipo called... https://www.electronicscomp.com/
They offer COD so much less anxiety for you

And also RCHyper also supports COD.

Thanks.

I don't know who you bought from, but I've never had a problem, and I've been buying for years. Further, I don't think you've read carefully through the link I have posted, an article from The Economic Times.

However, you or anybody else is absolutely free to buy from anywhere you please!

Hi,
I do buy from XYZ hobby store and its a nice store. Fast delivery, good products. I am not a Chinese Product lover!
My "Anxiety" is to get a 1800 mAh (6S 40C or higher) lipo locally. Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

how about  quality of lipos of hobbyxyz

kp

Hi,
Are u really serious about the article that was published in Economic Times. I am not!

XYZ selling GIGA lipo and other brand lipos. I have used GIGA and they are good. They take charge to the marked capacity. I have also experience with Robu's orange brand lipos. They are also good.

I won't believe economic times, they have put fake news.
But whatever, try to buy Lipo's from LHS

Do you have a particular instance you are referring to ?
It does have a pretty good reputation

thanks for the comment. here is the direct link
