Now that you have your plane and Power system, lets look at the Batteries And Power System:
5S battery Pack:

This will provide you with about 10-12 Minutes of Flying and Good speeds, the recommended prop is
14x6, 14x8, 14x10, 15x6, 15x8 with the 5S battery
IF you want a bit more speed, then try the 6s Battery Pack:

If these packs are not available, here are some alternatives (just make sure they are either 5s or 6s and have at least 4500 mah or better and a 20C or higher rating):
5S Alternatives:

6S Alternatives:

I highly recommend picking up AT LEAST 2 PACKS, 3 If you want to fly all day :)
Battery Charger:
You have a lot of options when it comes to choosing the right battery charger, I recommend chargers in the 150 Watt to 250 Watt range and being capable of charing up to a 6s battery pack. Once again, for the best price you should shop at Hobby King as these charges are 1/3 of the price you would pay else where:
Any of these chargers will WORK WELL FOR YOUR NEEDS:

NOTE: YOU WILL NEED A 12 volt power supply or Car Battery to charge your batteries. I would suggest picking up a 20 Amp 12 volt power supply to power your charger with, these are available in many places including radio shack and online from many stores:

DO NOT BUY A POWER SUPPLY FROM HOBBYKING, they have too many issues and are sometimes mislabeled; E.G.: A 220 volt power supply is listed as a 120volt and these will not work in the US!
