Or just RC Car Battery.

But, what did you expect when company is probably located in China/Korea

FAQ Clearly states "The usual delivery time for a Standard Air Mail item is 10-30 days"

but 45 days is clear too excessive but keep in mind, in order to get battery from china/korea, they need to get proper authorization. They can't just package and ship batteries like that. Special paperwork is involved.

So it's a battery that runs on fat, liposucted fatty tissue? Tons of energy in that. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! "The sky was the color of a TV tuned to a dead station" - Neuromancer

I've bought lipos from Hong Kong to the UK, they sometimes come really quickly but can take up to 3 weeks. Trouble I've found is that the weights can vary and that can cause trouble for the C of G on my models. In the end I pay more for local purchases and branded lipos. I just wish they charged quicker!

In the past few months, there's been new laws about transporting batteries into the US it seems. I backed Kickstarter project for a gamepad and they had a TON of delays because the batteries took ages to be imported.
