Battery for the BeagleBone Blue

Has anyone got a link on element14 for a suitable battery for the BeagleBone Blue? I know it has a 2 cell connector, but can't seem to find any battery units with the right connector on the end. Any help would be appreciated!

You mean Farnell/Newark as supplier?
It's a consumer/hobby-grade RC battery, so I doubt Farnell/Newark sell this (but I'm not sure).
These RC LiPo batteries have a separated charge/balancing connection so unless you're prepared to assemble your own cell pack (I guess not good without using cells from the same batch usually, but I'm no expert), I'd go with the HobbyKing one, that is what the BB-Blue has been tested with.
