This 2S LiPo battery delivers the perfect balance of voltage and capacity for mid-range RC vehicles, making it an excellent choice for both experienced racers and hobbyists looking to upgrade their RC car power systems. With 5000mAh of capacity, this battery provides extended runtime for longer play sessions and competitive practice runs, whilst the hardcase protection ensures your investment remains safe from impacts and damage during transport and storage.
The 50C discharge rating means this battery can deliver consistent, high current output to demanding brushless motors and electronic speed controllers (ESCs), making it particularly well-suited for high-performance RC cars that require responsive acceleration and sustained power delivery. Whether you're running a 1/10 scale off-road buggy, a short course truck, or a stadium racer, the Dynamite 7.4V 5000mAh 2S LiPo provides the electrical foundation for competitive performance. The EC3 connector is a widely recognised and reliable connection standard in the RC car UK market, ensuring compatibility with most modern ESCs and allowing for quick, secure battery swaps during racing events or casual driving sessions.
Dynamite is a trusted name in RC battery technology, recognised for manufacturing robust and dependable LiPo packs that perform consistently across thousands of charge cycles. The hardcase construction protects the battery cells from physical damage, swelling and punctures that can occur with softer alternatives, whilst allowing the pack to fit securely into standard RC car battery trays. This is an ideal choice for anyone serious about their RC hobby who wants a reliable, long-lasting 2S LiPo battery that delivers performance when it matters most.
Key Features
- 7.4V 2S Voltage Configuration — This two-cell lithium polymer battery delivers 7.4 volts nominal, which is the standard voltage specification for 2S LiPo systems and is compatible with the vast majority of 2S-capable RC car ESCs and motor combinations available in the UK market today.
- 5000mAh Capacity — The 5000 milliamp-hour capacity provides substantial runtime for extended RC car driving sessions, allowing you to enjoy longer periods of uninterrupted operation before requiring a recharge with your LiPo-compatible balance charger.
- 50C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 50C rating means this battery can safely deliver up to 250 amps of continuous current (5000mAh × 50C), providing responsive power delivery and acceleration for brushless motors in competitive and recreational RC car applications without thermal stress or performance degradation.
- Hardcase Protection — The robust hardcase design shields the internal lithium polymer cells from physical impacts, punctures and accidental damage that can occur during transport, storage or aggressive driving, extending battery lifespan and maintaining safety.
- EC3 Connector — This industry-standard EC3 connector provides a secure, low-resistance connection to compatible ESCs, allowing for quick and reliable battery installation and removal without tools, and ensuring consistent electrical contact throughout your driving session.
- Trusted Dynamite Brand — Dynamite is a recognised manufacturer in the RC industry, known for producing reliable, performance-oriented batteries that maintain consistent output characteristics across extended use and numerous charge cycles.
Technical Performance
The Dynamite 7.4V 5000mAh 2S 50C LiPo battery represents professional-grade energy storage engineering optimised for modern brushless RC car systems. The 50C continuous discharge rating, combined with the substantial 5000mAh capacity, creates a battery capable of delivering the high current demands of contemporary brushless motors whilst maintaining voltage stability under load. This electrical characteristic is critical for competitive RC car racing in the UK, where acceleration response and power consistency directly influence lap times and competitive performance. The hardcase enclosure utilises rigid protective material that surrounds the lithium polymer cells, preventing physical deformation and protecting against the swelling that can occur with inferior soft-case alternatives. The EC3 connector is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring a fit that remains secure even after numerous insertion and removal cycles, which is essential when you're swapping batteries between multiple vehicles or charging between race heats. The 7.4 volt nominal specification places this battery in the sweet spot for 2S RC car applications — sufficient voltage to deliver responsive acceleration and top speed from brushless motors in the 3000KV to 4500KV range, yet conservative enough to ensure ESC longevity and battery safety margins. The 5000mAh capacity means you can achieve 15-20 minutes of moderate-to-aggressive driving depending on your specific RC car setup, motor efficiency and driving style, making it practical for both casual weekend bashing and serious competitive training.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Dynamite 7.4V 5000mAh 2S LiPo suitable for my RC car UK? — This battery is compatible with any 2S-capable RC car system with an EC3 connector, including budget-friendly entry-level vehicles through to high-performance competitive racing buggies and trucks. Check your ESC manual to confirm it supports 2S LiPo batteries and features an EC3 connector socket before purchase.
- What is the difference between the 50C rating and other C-ratings I see? — The C-rating indicates the maximum continuous current a battery can safely discharge. A 50C rating means this 5000mAh battery can deliver up to 250 amps continuously without damage. Higher C-ratings (like 100C or 130C) allow greater current discharge but are typically more expensive; 50C is well-suited for general RC car use and competitive driving without excessive cost.
- How long will the battery last per charge? — Runtime depends on your specific RC car, motor KV rating, ESC programming and driving style. Typically, a 5000mAh 2S battery will provide 15-20 minutes of moderately aggressive driving in a 1/10 scale RC car, or up to 25 minutes in lighter vehicles or with more conservative throttle use.
- Does this battery come balanced and ready to use? — New LiPo batteries from Dynamite are factory-charged for safety, but you must use a LiPo-compatible balance charger before your first use. Never use standard NiMH chargers or fast-charge lithium batteries without balance charging, as this causes unequal cell voltage and safety risks.
- What charger do I need for this 2S battery? — You must use a balance charger that supports 2S LiPo batteries with EC3 connectors. Popular options available in the UK include Spektrum, Dynamite, and other dedicated LiPo chargers. Always charge at the recommended rate (typically 1C, which means 5 amps for a 5000mAh battery) to maximise lifespan and safety.
- How do I store this battery safely? — Store the Dynamite LiPo at storage voltage (approximately 3.8 volts per cell, or 7.6V total for 2S) in a fire-resistant LiPo storage bag in a cool, dry location. Never leave LiPo batteries fully charged for extended periods, as this reduces cell lifespan and increases swelling risk.
