Whether you're running an electric RC car, truck, buggy or other RC vehicle that accepts 2S LiPo batteries, this Radient pack delivers the consistent power output needed for extended running sessions and responsive throttle control. The 3250mAh capacity strikes an excellent balance between weight and runtime, making it ideal for RC applications where a 2S configuration is preferred over larger multi-cell packs.
Built with quality LiPo cell chemistry, the Radient battery combines proven performance reliability with an affordable price point that appeals to both newcomers discovering RC hobbies and experienced RC enthusiasts looking for cost-effective spare batteries. The Deans (HCT) connector is one of the most widely used connectors in the RC hobby, ensuring broad compatibility with RC vehicles, ESCs and chargers across many popular RC platforms. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual RC action or a more serious modeller, having spare 2S LiPo batteries on hand means you can maximise your running time without lengthy charging waits between sessions.
At RC Model Shop, we stock the Radient range because we recognise that quality batteries are essential to safe and enjoyable RC operation. This 2S pack represents genuine value for money, with the 30C discharge rating providing the amperage headroom needed for responsive acceleration and sustained power delivery throughout the charge cycle.
Key Features
- 2S LiPo Chemistry — This battery uses proven Lithium Polymer cell technology, which delivers higher energy density than older NiMH batteries and provides the voltage and amperage characteristics that modern RC vehicles demand for optimal performance and responsiveness.
- 3250mAh Capacity — The 3250 milliamp-hour capacity offers a genuine balance between runtime and weight, allowing you to enjoy extended running periods without the pack becoming so heavy that it negatively impacts acceleration, handling or overall vehicle dynamics in your RC model.
- 7.4V Nominal Voltage (2S Configuration) — Two cells in series deliver 7.4V nominal voltage, which is the standard configuration for countless RC applications including electric RC cars, trucks, buggies and crawlers available throughout the UK RC hobby market.
- 30C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 30C rating means this battery can safely discharge at 97.5 amps continuously (30 × 3.25Ah), providing plenty of headroom for responsive throttle inputs and sustained acceleration without thermal stress or voltage sag that would compromise performance.
- Deans (HCT) Connector — The industry-standard Deans connector is one of the most widely recognised battery connectors in RC, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of RC ESCs, chargers and balance boards available to UK hobbyists, eliminating the need for expensive adapter cables.
- Soft Case Protection — The battery arrives in a protective soft case that prevents physical damage during transport and storage, helping to preserve battery integrity and ensuring your investment in spare batteries remains protected between charging and use sessions.
- Compact Form Factor — At 137mm length, 43mm width and just 14mm thickness, this pack fits easily into battery compartments of most 2S-compatible RC vehicles, and the 184g weight ensures it won't negatively impact your RC model's weight distribution or handling characteristics.
- Suitable for Ages 14 and Up — The manufacturer recommends this battery for users aged 14 and older, reflecting the responsibility and safety awareness needed to handle, charge and operate LiPo batteries correctly in RC applications.
Technical Performance
The Radient LiPo 2S 3250mAh 7.4V 30C battery represents genuine engineering value within the mid-range of LiPo performance specifications. The 30C discharge rating provides adequate amperage for most electric RC vehicles in the hobbyist category, delivering responsive throttle control and consistent acceleration throughout the discharge cycle. The LiPo cell chemistry used in this Radient pack exhibits excellent voltage stability under load, meaning your RC vehicle will maintain steady power output even as the battery depletes, rather than suffering the voltage sag characteristic of older battery technologies. The two-cell series configuration (2S) is the most common voltage specification in recreational RC, making this pack exceptionally versatile across numerous RC car models, trucks, buggies and other electric RC platforms available in the UK market. The 3250mAh capacity provides genuine runtime—typically between 15 and 25 minutes of active driving depending on your specific RC vehicle's power demands, motor size, driving style and terrain. The soft case construction protects the cells during storage and transport whilst remaining lightweight enough not to add excessive weight to your RC setup. The Deans (HCT) connector is gold-plated for superior conductivity and minimal voltage drop, ensuring maximum power is delivered from battery terminals to your ESC and motor during acceleration and high-demand driving situations. For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking reliable, affordable spare batteries that work with industry-standard connectors and proven LiPo cell chemistry, this Radient pack delivers the performance and value proposition expected of an authorised retailer's battery selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Radient 2S 3250mAh LiPo suitable for RC beginners? — Yes, this battery is an excellent choice for beginners because the 2S voltage configuration is the most common in recreational RC, the 30C discharge rating provides adequate performance without excessive power that could overwhelm a new driver, and the Deans connector is the industry standard, meaning chargers and balance boards are widely available and affordable for UK hobbyists just starting their RC journey.
- How long does this 2S LiPo battery last per charge? — Runtime typically ranges from 15 to 25 minutes of active driving, depending on your RC vehicle's motor size, gearing, driving style and terrain. Lightweight vehicles and smooth driving will yield longer runtimes, whilst heavier vehicles, high-performance motors and aggressive driving will reduce runtime accordingly.
- What RC vehicles is this 2S 3250mAh battery compatible with? — This Radient battery is compatible with any RC car, truck, buggy, crawler or other electric RC vehicle that accepts 2S LiPo packs with a Deans (HCT) connector. Popular options across the UK include various RC short course trucks, electric RC buggies, RC crawlers, and many ready-to-run RC models from major manufacturers.
- What charger do I need to charge this LiPo battery? — You'll need a LiPo-compatible charger with a Deans connector or a balance board adapter. Most modern RC chargers sold in the UK support LiPo charging via balance connector, which ensures safe and balanced charging across all cells within the pack.
- What does the 30C discharge rating mean? — The 30C rating indicates the battery can safely discharge at a maximum of 97.5 amps continuously (30 × 3.25Ah). This rating is more than adequate for most recreational RC applications and provides excellent headroom for responsive acceleration and sustained power delivery without thermal stress.
- Why is the Deans (HCT) connector preferred in RC? — The Deans connector is the industry standard for mid-range RC batteries because it offers excellent conductivity, reliable connections, and widespread availability of compatible ESCs, chargers and accessories throughout the UK RC market, eliminating the need for expensive adapter cables.
- Can I use this 2S battery in series with another 2S battery to make a 4S pack? — No, you should not series-connect two separate battery packs together. This creates safety and performance risks. If you need 4S voltage, you should purchase a dedicated 4S LiPo battery pack designed and tested as a single unit.
- How should I store this LiPo battery? — Store the Radient battery in a cool, dry location at room temperature, ideally at storage voltage (around 3.8V per cell, or 7.6V for the complete 2S pack) if you won't be using it for extended periods. Avoid storing fully charged or fully depleted, and never leave the battery in direct sunlight or in hot vehicles.
