Key Features

• Compact 2200mAh Capacity — The 2200mAh energy storage provides substantial flight time whilst maintaining a minimal footprint, making it ideal for weight-critical RC applications where every gram matters to performance and flight duration.
• 3S 11.1V Configuration — The 3-cell series configuration delivers 11.1 volts of nominal voltage, providing optimal power levels for 450-size RC helicopters, RC gliders, and other small-scale RC aircraft that require this specific voltage range.
• 20C Continuous Discharge Rate — This moderate discharge capability ensures stable voltage output under load, providing reliable power delivery for consistent flying characteristics throughout your flight without voltage sag or performance drops.
• Lightweight Design at 146 Grams — The modest weight of just 146 grams ensures minimal impact on your model's weight distribution and flight performance, particularly important for gliders and EPP foam RC models where weight directly affects handling and endurance.
• XT60 Connector — The universal XT60 connector allows easy connection to compatible ESCs and chargers, providing a secure, reliable link that withstands repeated connections and disconnections without degradation.
• Compact Dimensions (74 x 33 x 25mm) — The small footprint measuring just 74mm in length, 33mm in width and 25mm in height allows this battery to fit into tight spaces within your RC model, accommodating compact fuselages and chassis designs.
• Soft Case Design — The protective soft case housing protects the internal cells from physical damage during storage, transport and use, extending the working life of your battery investment.
• 1-3C Recommended Charge Rate — The flexible charging range from 1C to 3C allows you to balance charging time convenience against cell longevity, with slower charging extending battery lifespan whilst faster charging accommodates busy flight days.
• Gens Ace Quality Standards — Every battery is manufactured to ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards, guaranteeing consistent quality, environmental responsibility and manufacturing excellence across every Soaring Mini pack.

Technical Performance

The Gens Ace Soaring Mini represents an exemplary balance of engineering excellence and practical utility in LiPo battery design. Built upon two decades of battery technology research and development, this 2200mAh 3S pack demonstrates the meticulous attention to quality and performance that distinguishes Gens Ace as a world-class battery manufacturer. The 11.1V nominal voltage (reaching approximately 12.6V when fully charged) provides the precise power levels required for 450-size RC helicopters, RC gliders and light-duty RC aircraft applications. The 20C discharge rating ensures stable, consistent power delivery under normal flight loads without the voltage sag that would compromise flight performance in weight-sensitive models.

The internal chemistry and cell balancing have been specifically optimised for the demands of RC flying applications, ensuring that all three cells discharge evenly and safely throughout the flight cycle. The low internal resistance design maintains stable voltage output until battery depletion, meaning you experience consistent throttle response and control authority from the moment you take off until you land. The 146-gram weight places this battery in the ultra-lightweight category, making it ideal for RC gliders, EPP foam models and compact RC aircraft where total weight directly correlates with flight duration and manoeuvrability. The soft case construction protects internal components from damage whilst remaining flexible enough to fit into compact spaces within your RC model's fuselage or chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Gens Ace Soaring Mini 2200mAh 20C battery suitable for 450-size RC helicopters? — Yes, this battery is specifically designed and recommended for 450-size RC helicopters. The 11.1V voltage and 2200mAh capacity provide the ideal power and flight duration for this helicopter class, with the compact dimensions and lightweight design ensuring optimal weight distribution and flight characteristics.
• Can I use this battery in RC gliders and EPP foam models? — Absolutely. The Gens Ace Soaring Mini is specifically recommended for gliders and EPP foam RC models, where its lightweight design and reliable power delivery make it an excellent choice for extended flight times and consistent performance in thermal soaring applications.
• What is the recommended charging rate for this 2200mAh battery? — The recommended charge rate is between 1C and 3C, meaning you can charge the battery at rates from 2.2 amps (1C) up to 6.6 amps (3C). Slower charging at 1C extends battery lifespan, whilst 3C charging accommodates busy flying days when you need quick turnaround between flights.
• How does this 2200mAh battery compare to similar capacity alternatives? — The Gens Ace Soaring Mini sits in the sweet spot for lightweight RC applications, offering more capacity than minimal 1500mAh packs whilst remaining significantly lighter and more compact than heavier 3000mAh+ options. This makes it ideal for applications where weight and space are critical factors in performance.
• Is this battery compatible with my RC charger? — Compatibility depends on your charger's specifications. The XT60 connector is a universal industry standard found on most modern LiPo chargers designed for RC applications. If your charger features an XT60 input and supports 3S LiPo charging, this battery will work seamlessly with your equipment.
• What does the 20C discharge rating mean? — The 20C rating indicates that this 2200mAh battery can safely provide continuous discharge at 20 times its capacity, which equals 44 amps (2.2Ah × 20C = 44A). This discharge capability is more than sufficient for most lightweight RC aircraft and helicopter applications, ensuring stable power delivery without voltage sag.
• How long will this battery last in flight? — Flight duration depends on your specific RC model, ESC settings and flying style, but the 2200mAh capacity typically provides 10-20 minutes of flight time in 450-size helicopters and similar applications. Thermalling with RC gliders can extend this significantly with minimal power draw.
