Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 3S 1400mAh 11.1V 30C battery pack is engineered to deliver reliable, consistent performance across a wide range of RC applications. With three lithium polymer cells arranged in series configuration, this pack provides the 11.1V nominal voltage that has become the standard for electric RC vehicles across the UK hobby market. The 1400mAh capacity is specifically calibrated to provide meaningful runtime whilst maintaining a compact physical footprint, making this an excellent choice for weight-conscious builds or space-limited designs where fitting a larger capacity battery simply isn't possible. The 30C continuous discharge rating is the standout performance specification—this means the battery can safely deliver up to 42 amps of continuous current without voltage sag, overheating, or cell damage. This rating is particularly important for high-performance RC setups where sustained power delivery is critical for acceleration, top speed, and overall responsiveness. The battery weighs just 0.12kg (127 grams), adding minimal weight to your RC model whilst delivering maximum performance. The soft case construction provides essential protection during storage and transport, preventing the cells from damage and extending the operational lifespan of the pack. With Deans (HCT) connectors featuring gold-plated contacts, power transfer is efficient and reliable, minimising resistance losses and ensuring every amp of available current reaches your ESC and motor. The engineering and quality control standards applied to this Radient pack ensure you're purchasing a legitimate, safe battery that meets proper manufacturing standards—critical when working with lithium polymer technology that demands respect and proper handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient 3S 1400mAh LiPo battery suitable for beginners? — Yes, this battery is suitable for users aged 14 and upwards. Beginners should understand that LiPo batteries require proper care, including correct charging procedures using a LiPo-compatible charger, regular voltage monitoring, and proper storage. If you're new to LiPo batteries, we recommend learning proper charging and handling protocols before your first use. The 1400mAh capacity and moderate 30C discharge rating make this a forgiving and reliable option for learning with modern battery technology.
• What RC models will this 3S LiPo battery power? — The Radient 3S 1400mAh 11.1V 30C battery is compatible with any RC model featuring a 3S LiPo-compatible ESC and Deans (HCT) connector. This includes electric RC cars, trucks, buggies, short-course vehicles, and helicopters designed for 3S power systems. Common applications include 1/10 scale RC cars and 1/8 scale buggies, though compatibility depends on your specific model's power system design.
• How long will this battery last per charge? — Runtime depends on your specific RC model's motor, ESC settings, and driving style. The 1400mAh capacity provides meaningful runtime for small to medium-scale vehicles—typically 10-20 minutes of aggressive driving or longer for casual running. We recommend purchasing multiple batteries to enable extended sessions without waiting for recharging.
• What is the difference between this battery and larger capacity alternatives? — The primary difference is capacity and weight. This 1400mAh pack is lighter and more compact than higher capacity alternatives (such as 2200mAh or 3300mAh packs), making it ideal for space-constrained vehicles or weight-sensitive applications. The trade-off is reduced total runtime per charge. However, the 30C discharge rating ensures consistent power delivery regardless of capacity. Many UK RC enthusiasts own multiple batteries of different capacities for various applications.
• Is the Deans (HCT) connector compatible with my ESC? — The Deans connector is the industry standard for modern RC battery systems. The vast majority of ESCs sold in the UK market feature Deans connectors. However, if your ESC uses a different connector (such as XT60, Tamiya, or JST), you would need to either purchase a battery with the matching connector or use a connector adapter. Check your ESC documentation to confirm compatibility.
• How should I charge this LiPo battery safely? — Always use a dedicated LiPo-compatible battery charger that supports 3S charging profiles. Never use chargers designed for NiMH or other battery chemistries. Charge at a rate no higher than 1C (1.4 amps for this pack), use a LiPo-specific charger with cell-balancing functionality, and never leave LiPo batteries unattended during charging. Store the battery in a fireproof LiPo bag after use and before charging when possible.
• What does the 30C discharge rating mean? — The 30C rating indicates the maximum continuous current the battery can safely deliver. Calculated as capacity multiplied by the C rating (1400mAh × 30 = 42 amps maximum continuous discharge), this specification ensures the battery can power high-performance RC applications without overheating or internal damage. This is one of the most important specifications for ensuring your battery performs reliably under load.
