Key Features

• 2S Lithium Polymer Chemistry — This battery utilises proven 2-cell LiPo technology that delivers consistent 7.4V nominal voltage throughout your drive session, ensuring stable motor performance and reliable power delivery compared to older NiMH battery technology commonly found in basic RC car UK models.
• 4500mAh Capacity — The 4500 milliamp-hour capacity provides substantial runtime for recreational driving and competitive sessions, allowing you to enjoy extended periods of driving before requiring a recharge, making it excellent value for the investment.
• 50C Discharge Rating — With a continuous discharge rating of 50C, this battery is capable of delivering up to 225 amps of continuous current (4.5A × 50C = 225A), providing the high current output required by brushless motors and high-performance electric RC vehicles without voltage sag or performance loss.
• XT60 Connector — The XT60 connector is the industry standard across most modern electric RC cars, trucks, and buggies, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with the vast majority of ready-to-run and kit-built RC models available in the UK market today.
• Soft Case Construction — Encased in a protective soft case, this battery resists minor impacts and abrasions during transport and storage, whilst remaining lightweight enough not to add unnecessary mass to your vehicle's overall weight distribution.
• Compact Dimensions — Measuring just 137mm in length, 43mm in width and 19mm in height, this battery is engineered to fit into standard battery compartments found on 1/10 scale RC cars, 1/8 scale buggies and trucks, and other popular RC vehicle platforms without requiring extensive modification or custom mounting solutions.
• Lightweight at 232g — At just 232 grams, this battery maintains a light footprint that helps preserve your RC vehicle's handling characteristics and acceleration whilst still delivering the energy capacity needed for meaningful runtime during competitive racing or recreational bashing sessions.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 2S 4500mAh 7.4V 50C battery is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in demanding RC applications. The 50C discharge rating ensures that modern brushless motor systems can draw the current they require without experiencing voltage sag—a critical factor in maintaining consistent acceleration, top speed, and responsiveness throughout your drive. At full discharge capacity, this battery can safely supply 225 amps of continuous current, making it suitable for high-performance brushless RC cars and trucks with powerful motor and ESC combinations. The 7.4V nominal voltage (two 3.7V cells in series) is the standard for 2S LiPo applications and is compatible with the vast majority of 2S-rated brushless motors and electronic speed controllers available for RC vehicles UK-wide. The soft case exterior provides adequate protection during transport and storage without adding excessive weight, and the XT60 connector utilises a durable gold-plated design that resists oxidation and maintains reliable electrical contact through hundreds of charge cycles. Whether you're operating a competitive 1/10 scale RC buggy, a 1/8 scale truggy, or any mid-sized electric RC platform, this battery's engineering ensures stable performance, extended runtime, and the power delivery characteristics professional RC racers and weekend bashers demand from their equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this LiPo battery suitable for beginner RC enthusiasts? — Yes, the Radient 2S 4500mAh battery is an excellent choice for RC hobbyists transitioning from brushed to brushless systems or upgrading from older NiMH batteries. The 50C discharge rating and 4500mAh capacity provide ample power for learning and recreational driving, though users must be familiar with proper LiPo charging, storage, and safety practices. With an age recommendation of 14+, younger enthusiasts should use this battery only under appropriate adult supervision and following manufacturer guidelines for safe LiPo handling.
• What RC vehicles is this battery compatible with? — The XT60 connector makes this battery compatible with thousands of 2S LiPo-capable RC models including 1/10 scale brushless RC cars, 1/10 RC buggies, 1/10 RC trucks, 1/8 scale buggies, 1/8 scale short course trucks, and various crawler platforms. Any ready-to-run or kit-build RC vehicle equipped with an XT60 battery connector and a 2S-rated electronic speed controller can utilise this battery.
• How long will the runtime be on a single charge? — Runtime depends on your specific RC vehicle's motor power, driving style, and throttle usage, but the 4500mAh capacity typically provides between 10-20 minutes of continuous driving for standard brushless RC cars and trucks. Competitive racing at full throttle will consume the battery more quickly, whilst casual recreational driving with varied throttle use will extend runtime considerably.
• What charger do I need for this battery? — This battery requires a dedicated LiPo battery charger capable of balancing 2S packs and supporting XT60 connectors. Do not attempt to charge this battery using standard NiMH chargers or car chargers, as LiPo batteries have different charging profiles and safety requirements. A quality two-channel or multi-port LiPo charger is essential equipment for any RC enthusiast using lithium polymer batteries.
• How should I store this battery when not in use? — Store this LiPo battery in a cool, dry location at approximately 50% charge state for long-term storage. Avoid storing at full charge or fully depleted, and keep the battery away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and moisture. Many RC enthusiasts use dedicated LiPo storage bags or small metal containers to prevent potential fire risks in the unlikely event of battery damage or malfunction.
• What is the difference between this 50C battery and lower-rated alternatives? — The 50C rating indicates this battery can safely discharge at 50 times its capacity per hour, delivering 225 amps of continuous current. Lower-rated batteries (such as 30C or 25C options) cannot supply this level of current without experiencing dangerous voltage sag and potential damage. For brushless RC vehicles requiring high current delivery, a 50C rating ensures stable performance and voltage delivery.
