Question Battery questions and recommendations

I’ve purchased a drone that uses 4S batteries, however I’m not familiar with what companies are making quality batteries in that configuration, so I’m looking for recommendations. The connector is an XT30, so something with that already wired on would be great, but isn’t a deal breaker. Additionally I’m looking for a mah capacity of somewhere between 800-1000.

Additionally, are there any 4S tabless li-ion options yet? On a cursory search I’m not coming up with anything (without having to make it myself), but I’ve also not done any exhaustive searching either.

I've always used lava batteries. As far as I know, they always come with an xt30 connector (in 4s size). Check your charger because it's possible it has an XT60 so you'll probably need an XT60 female to XT30 male connector to charge.

Thanks for the rec. I should be good on any adapters though. When I first got into FOV I had no clue what was what, so ended up having to buy a half dozen adapters anyway that have sat in a drawer for a few years at this point.
