• 30C Discharge Rating — The 30C rating means this battery can safely deliver continuous discharge at 30 times its capacity in amps (30 amps continuous), providing responsive power delivery whilst maintaining safety margins, making it suitable for moderate to high-performance RC applications without risk of damage.
• Deans (HCT) Connector — The Deans connector is one of the most widely used battery connectors in the UK RC hobby, ensuring you can connect this battery to your ESC, receiver, or other equipment without needing adapters or modifications, saving time and frustration.
• Ultra-Compact Dimensions — At just 18mm tall, 36mm wide, and 72mm long, this battery is specifically engineered for RC models where space is limited, such as tight-fitting battery bays in compact chassis designs or models with restricted interior volumes.
• Soft Case Protection — The protective soft case safeguards the battery cells from damage during storage and transport, reducing the risk of punctures or physical damage that could compromise battery safety or performance, whilst adding minimal weight to the overall package.
• Genuine Radient Quality — Manufactured by Radient, a respected producer of RC power solutions, this battery undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure consistency, reliability, and longevity, giving you confidence that you're investing in a product built to last.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 3S 1000mAh 11.1V 30C battery represents modern lithium polymer battery engineering at an accessible price point for UK RC enthusiasts. With a nominal voltage of 11.1 volts across three series-connected cells, this battery operates at the industry-standard voltage for countless electric RC models currently in use across Britain and Europe. The 30C continuous discharge rating indicates this battery can safely supply 30 amps of current continuously, calculated from the 1000mAh capacity multiplied by the 30C rating, making it suitable for electric motors ranging from brushed to sensored brushless systems typically found in 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles. The engineering inside the battery pack maintains voltage stability under load through the use of high-quality lithium polymer cells and internal circuitry, ensuring your RC model receives consistent power throughout the discharge cycle for predictable handling and performance. The soft case construction utilises protective polymer material that shields the individual cells from physical impact whilst remaining lightweight enough that it adds negligible weight to your RC package. At just 90 grams in shipping weight, this is genuinely a lightweight solution that won't substantially impact your model's weight distribution or performance characteristics, a critical consideration for anyone building or maintaining RC cars, helicopters, or other weight-sensitive RC applications. The compact 72mm x 36mm x 18mm dimensions demonstrate excellent space efficiency, allowing this battery to fit into confined areas where larger capacity packs would simply not fit, making it an exceptional choice for compact RC models, micro helis, or vehicles with restrictive battery compartments.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is a 3S LiPo battery suitable for my RC car or RC model? — A 3S LiPo battery with 11.1V nominal voltage is the standard power source for hundreds of different RC cars, RC trucks, RC helicopters, and other electric RC models manufactured worldwide. If your model's documentation or manual specifies "3S LiPo compatible" or "11.1V battery," then this Radient pack is an excellent choice. Always consult your specific model's instructions to confirm voltage compatibility before purchasing any battery.
• What does the 30C rating mean and why does it matter? — The 30C rating refers to the continuous discharge rate, calculated by multiplying the battery capacity by 30. With a 1000mAh capacity, the 30C rating means this battery can safely deliver 30 amps of continuous current. This rating indicates the battery is suitable for moderate to high-performance RC applications, electric motors that demand responsive power delivery, and sensored or sensorless brushless systems, but may not be suitable for extreme high-drain racing applications that demand 50C, 75C, or higher ratings.
• How long will this battery last on a single charge? — Runtime depends entirely on your specific RC model's motor, ESC settings, driving style, and throttle usage patterns. Generally, a 1000mAh battery in a typical 1/10 scale RC car might provide 10 to 20 minutes of runtime, but this varies considerably. The best approach is to test with your own model and monitor performance.
• Is the Deans (HCT) connector the right one for my RC equipment? — The Deans connector, also called Dean Ultra connector, is extremely common in the UK RC hobby community and is found on countless ESCs, receivers, and chargers. If your existing RC equipment uses Deans connectors, this battery will connect directly with no adapters needed. If your equipment uses different connectors such as XT60, XT90, or JST, you would need to source an appropriate adapter or have the connector professionally changed.
• Can I use this battery with any charger? — This is a standard 3S LiPo battery that can be charged with any charger designed for 3S LiPo packs, which includes most modern balance chargers and smart chargers widely available in the UK RC market. Always ensure your charger supports 3S LiPo charging and features proper cell balancing to maintain battery health and longevity across all three cells.
• Is this battery safe to use? — Lithium polymer batteries are safe when handled responsibly according to manufacturer guidelines. Never short the battery terminals, never charge unattended, always use a charger designed for LiPo batteries, store in a cool dry place away from flammable materials, and dispose of any damaged or swollen batteries at a proper recycling facility. This product carries an age recommendation of 14+, indicating adult supervision or mature handling is expected.
• How do I store this battery when not in use? — Store the Radient LiPo battery in a cool, dry location at room temperature. If storing for extended periods, charge to approximately 50% capacity and store in a fireproof container or LiPo storage bag. Never store fully charged or fully discharged, as this accelerates cell degradation. Check periodically for signs of swelling or damage before each use.
