Technical Performance
The Voltz 4000mAh 3S 11.1V 50C Hardcase LiPo Stick Pack Battery represents a significant performance upgrade for any brushless RC vehicle running 3S LiPo power. The 44.4 Watt hour (Wh) energy capacity provides substantial runtime, making this battery suitable for extended bashing sessions or multiple competitive heats at club racing events. The 50C continuous discharge rating is considerably higher than basic entry-level batteries, enabling this pack to deliver sustained high current output without excessive voltage sag, which means your RC car maintains its power and acceleration throughout the charge cycle. The battery's dimensions of 138 x 46 x 38 millimetres make it a true stick pack format, designed to fit into compact battery trays whilst the hardcase construction protects the cells without excessive bulk or weight. Built using proven lithium polymer chemistry, this battery has been developed to deliver reliability and longevity when treated with proper care. The engineering quality is evident in construction details such as the strain relief clip on the balance connector and the secure hard case shell that prevents cell damage from impacts or crushing. For club racers using compatible 3S-configured vehicles with Deans connectors, this battery delivers the sustained power and reliability needed for competitive racing. Whether you're running a Traxxas TRX-4 Sport alternative, a Maverick Quantum, or any other brushless RC car UK model that accepts 3S hardcase stick packs, this Voltz battery provides excellent performance value.
What's in the Box
- Voltz 4000mAh 3S 11.1V 50C Hardcase LiPo Stick Pack Battery with Deans/T Plug connector
- Balance cable with XH connector and strain relief clip
What You Need to Complete
- A compatible RC vehicle with space for a 3S hardcase stick pack battery and a Deans/T Plug connector socket
- An appropriate LiPo charger (minimum 4A charge current recommended, though 1C charging rate of 4 Amps is standard for this capacity)
- An XT60 or appropriate balance charger connector if your charger does not feature an XH balance plug socket
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the recommended charge rate for the Voltz 4000mAh 3S LiPo battery? — The standard charge rate for this 4000mAh battery is 4 Amps (1C charging rate). This ensures safe, controlled charging whilst maintaining battery longevity. Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations or attempt fast-charging without proper LiPo charger equipment.
- Will this battery fit in my RC car? — This battery's dimensions are 138 x 46 x 38 millimetres, making it a compact stick pack suitable for many brushless RC vehicles. However, compatibility depends on your specific model having sufficient battery compartment space and a compatible Deans/T Plug connector socket. Check your vehicle's specifications or contact our team at RC Model Shop for compatibility advice on your particular model.
- What is the difference between 50C and 30C discharge rating? — The 50C discharge rating indicates this battery can safely provide continuous current discharge up to 50 times its capacity (200 Amps continuous for this 4000mAh pack). A 30C battery would provide only 120 Amps continuous. Higher discharge ratings mean less voltage sag under hard acceleration and sustained power output, which is why serious RC racers and bashers prefer 50C or higher rated batteries.
- Is this suitable for brushless RC cars? — Yes, this battery is ideal for brushless RC vehicles running on 3S LiPo power. The 50C discharge rating is specifically engineered for brushless motor systems, which demand high current delivery. It is particularly well-suited for brushless RTR models that do not come with batteries included.
- How long will this battery last per charge? — Runtime depends on your vehicle's specific power draw, which varies between models and driving styles. The 4000mAh capacity provides substantial runtime compared to smaller capacity packs, but aggressive racing or bashing will reduce runtime compared to gentler driving. Most users experience 15-25 minutes of heavy use per charge, though this varies considerably.
- Can I use this battery with a servo or receiver? — Your RC vehicle's ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) includes a BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) that regulates the 11.1V battery voltage down to approximately 6V for your receiver and servos, so this 11.1V battery is perfectly compatible with standard RC servos and receivers.
- What balance plug type does this battery use? — This Voltz battery features a standard XH-type balance connector, which is industry-standard for 3S LiPo batteries. Most modern LiPo chargers support XH connectors, though you should verify your charger's compatibility before purchase.
