16.60 + shipping.

Lipo's have a lot of myths behind them.

You don't need 30C to push m120's, 11.1v 20C can push a M120 (400FPS, m4 length barrel) at 20-25 bbs per second and it's smaller than an 8.4v mini NIMH pack.

EDIT: I would like to state, for the record, that my battery knowledge comes from theory discussed on many airsoft/rcCar/rcPlane websites. I have no experience with LiPo batteries yet. I have ordered 2 11.1v 1600 mah lipo's from hobbycity, and they are waiting for me at my apartment for when I arrive on the 28th. I can give much better details then.
I was always talking about how superior NiMH batteries are to NiCad, and dispelling myths about them that sustain to this day... I worry I'm becoming a hypocrite by bringing up old information about Lipos. The last time I personally checked Lipo prices was only a few months ago, and I couldn't find any high performance packs that would cost you less than a hundred bucks. The industry really seems to be taking big leaps and bounds towards production efficiency.

What can I say, you may still convince me that Lipos are the way to go =P
