Technical Performance

The Gens Ace Soaring 1300mAh 7.4V 30C 2S LiPo represents a carefully engineered solution for small-scale RC aircraft power requirements. The 2S configuration (two cells in series) delivers a nominal voltage of 7.4 volts, with cells capable of discharging at 30C continuously, meaning this 1300mAh pack can safely deliver up to 39 amps of current without thermal stress or damage. The battery weighs approximately 84 grams and measures 72 x 36 x 14mm according to manufacturer specifications, though other sources indicate dimensions of 69.5 x 34 x 14.5mm — both within typical manufacturing tolerances for LiPo cells. This compact footprint is critical for small-scale RC aeroplanes where every gram of weight and every millimetre of space impacts flight characteristics and battery mounting feasibility. The soft case construction protects the battery pack during the rigours of regular use, whilst the internal cell architecture maintains stable voltage delivery throughout the discharge cycle. With a recommended charge rate of 1-3C, users have flexibility to balance charging speed against cell longevity — fast 3C charging (3.9 amps) for quick turnarounds at the flying field, or conservative 1C charging (1.3 amps) for maximum battery lifespan during home charging sessions. The advanced cell chemistry and manufacturing expertise reflect decades of battery development, ensuring predictable performance and reliability that UK RC enthusiasts have come to expect from Gens Ace LiPo batteries.
