Key Features

• 3S LiPo Configuration (11.1V) — This three-cell lithium polymer configuration delivers significantly more punch and sustained power delivery compared to 2S batteries, resulting in faster acceleration, higher top speed capability, and better hill-climbing performance for your 1/16 scale Traxxas model.
• 1400mAh Capacity — The 1400mAh capacity provides the ideal balance of runtime and weight for 1/16 scale RC buggies and crawler trucks, offering approximately 20-30 minutes of active driving time depending on your driving style and terrain.
• 25C Continuous Discharge Rate — The 25C rating means this battery can safely deliver 35 amps of continuous power (25 × 1.4Ah), providing abundant power for acceleration, jumps and aggressive driving whilst maintaining cell safety and longevity.
• Traxxas iD Connector System — The proprietary iD connector automatically identifies the battery to compatible Traxxas chargers and ESCs, preventing mismatches and ensuring optimal charging profiles. This technology eliminates the need for manual configuration and makes battery management foolproof.
• Compact Stick Format — Measuring just 88mm length × 35mm width × 20mm height, this battery pack fits neatly into dedicated battery compartments on 1/16 scale Traxxas models without requiring modifications or adapters.
• Traxxas Certified Engineering — Every cell in this battery pack is manufactured to exacting Traxxas specifications, tested for consistency and built to deliver reliable performance across hundreds of charge cycles with minimal cell degradation.
• LiPo Chemistry Benefits — Lithium polymer batteries provide higher energy density than NiMH alternatives, meaning you get more runtime and speed from a lighter, more compact package that doesn't weigh down your RC vehicle's performance characteristics.
• Compatible with iD Chargers — This battery works with all Traxxas iD-equipped chargers, which automatically detect the battery voltage and cell count, applying the correct charging algorithm for optimal charge time and cell safety.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas LiPo 3S 1400mAh 11.1V 25C iD Power Cell Battery TRX2823X represents the pinnacle of engineering for 1/16 scale RC vehicles. With three lithium polymer cells configured in series, this pack delivers 11.1 volts of nominal power, providing the voltage headroom needed for modern brushless motors and electronic speed controllers to reach their maximum potential. The 25C continuous discharge rating means the battery can safely provide 35 amps of sustained current, with peak discharge capabilities significantly higher for brief periods of hard acceleration or climbing steep terrain. The engineering philosophy behind this battery reflects Traxxas's commitment to giving RC enthusiasts the real performance they expect: the engineering is proven, the quality control is uncompromising, and the results speak for themselves. The compact 88mm × 35mm × 20mm form factor has been precisely engineered to fit within the battery bay of 1/16 scale Traxxas models like the E-Revo VXL and similar platforms, with no wasted space or awkward protrusions. LiPo technology offers superior power delivery characteristics compared to NiMH batteries at the same capacity, meaning faster acceleration, more consistent speed under load, and better performance during prolonged driving sessions. The iD connector system represents a genuine innovation in RC battery safety and convenience, automatically communicating with compatible chargers and ESCs to prevent user error and optimise every charge cycle. Construction quality is evident throughout: protective circuitry prevents over-discharge, the cell configuration is immaculately balanced to prevent cell drift over time, and the battery management system ensures years of reliable performance when properly maintained.

What's in the Box

• Traxxas LiPo 3S 1400mAh 11.1V 25C iD Power Cell Battery (TRX2823X)

What You Need to Complete

• Traxxas iD-compatible charger (such as Traxxas iD chargers — sold separately) for safe charging and battery management
• A Traxxas 1/16 scale RC model compatible with 3S LiPo batteries, such as the E-Revo VXL 1/16 4x4 RTR brushless VXL-3M monster truck

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas RC vehicles are compatible with the TRX2823X battery? — This battery is specifically engineered for 1/16 scale Traxxas models including the E-Revo VXL 1/16 4x4 RTR brushless VXL-3M monster truck in blue and purple variants. The compact dimensions ensure it fits perfectly within the battery compartment of these purpose-designed vehicles without requiring any modifications or adapters.
• What is the difference between 2S, 3S and 4S LiPo batteries for RC cars? — The number refers to how many cells are configured in series. A 2S battery has two cells (7.4V nominal), a 3S battery has three cells (11.1V nominal like this model), and a 4S battery has four cells (14.8V nominal). Higher voltage means more power and speed, but your RC vehicle must be designed for that voltage. The 3S configuration offers an excellent balance of performance and efficiency for 1/16 scale vehicles.
• How long does the battery last on a single charge? — The TRX2823X typically provides 20-30 minutes of active driving time per charge, depending on driving style, terrain difficulty and motor setup. Aggressive acceleration and uphill driving consume power faster than smooth, steady driving. With the 1400mAh capacity, you can easily top up between driving sessions with a compatible Traxxas iD charger.
• What charger do I need for this battery? — This battery features Traxxas's proprietary iD connector, which requires a Traxxas iD-compatible charger. These chargers automatically detect the battery's voltage and cell count, applying the correct charging profile. Traxxas offers several iD charger options designed to work seamlessly with iD batteries, making charging safe, simple and foolproof.
• Is the iD connector system worth the extra cost? — Absolutely. The iD connector system is Traxxas's answer to battery safety and user convenience. It automatically communicates with compatible chargers to prevent overcharging, cell imbalance and other issues that can reduce battery lifespan or create safety hazards. You get optimal charge times, extended battery life and complete peace of mind.
• Can I use this battery with older Traxxas models? — This battery is designed for 1/16 scale Traxxas models with iD-compatible battery bays. If your vehicle has a standard iD connector and was engineered to accept 3S LiPo batteries, then yes. However, some older vehicles may not be compatible. Check your vehicle's manual or contact the retailer to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
• How should I store this battery when not in use? — LiPo batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place at a partial charge (approximately 50% state of charge is ideal for long-term storage). Many enthusiasts use dedicated LiPo storage boxes or safety bags to prevent accidental damage or fire risk. A Voltz Charge Vault LiPo Safety Sack is an excellent investment for safe storage and charging.
• What is the 25C rating and why does it matter? — The 25C rating indicates the continuous discharge rate, meaning this battery can safely deliver 25 times its capacity (25 × 1.4Ah = 35 amps) continuously without damage. This high continuous discharge rate is essential for RC vehicles that demand sudden acceleration, climbing and aggressive driving. Higher C-ratings generally indicate better quality and more reliable performance under demanding conditions.
• How many times can I charge this battery? — A properly maintained LiPo battery typically supports 300-500 full charge cycles before capacity begins to degrade noticeably. With reasonable care — avoiding over-discharge, storing at partial charge, using a quality charger and preventing physical damage — you can expect 2-3 years of regular use before needing replacement.
• Is this battery suitable for beginners? — Yes, this battery is perfect for beginners because the iD connector system removes all guesswork from battery compatibility and charging. The foolproof iD connector ensures you cannot accidentally connect it to an incompatible charger, and the compact size fits perfectly into 1/16 scale Traxxas models without requiring installation expertise.
