Source of LiPo batteries for Vapors and similar planes

Picture
It is becoming harder and harder to find decent small LiPo single cells to fly the Vapor and similar very light models. Most of the sub 100mAh cells on AliExpress and similar have very poor current delivery capability (C rate) as they are intended for low drain Bluetooth headphones and equivalent applications.

One that has been tested, has the correct connector, and has proven to work well is this one from MinimumRC.  It is nominally 50mAh but in fact delivers a bit over 40mAh at 200mA drain. It flies a Vapor or NightVapor well.

Minimum RC also have a "260"mAh 1s single cell with the Molex Picobalde 2pin connector for the small Elite, HH, Ares and other models. The 260mAh is another over-claim. This is actually a 10C constant rate, 205 mAh and is a decent substitute for other 200/205 cells that are now hard to get. It is of almost identical performance to the myLipo.de cells that IA purchased in bulk lots some time ago and which are no longer available at the price. The MinimumRC 1S "260" cell is slightly heavier than the myLiPo.de cell however  at 6.8g vs. 5.9 for the myLipo.de 205mAh and Turnigy Nano Tech 200mAh. It is US$4.98 plus shipping.
