Key Features
- 6S Configuration (22.2V Nominal Voltage) — This battery delivers the full 6-cell LiPo voltage specification, providing 22.2V nominal output that powers compatible 6S RC models with optimal efficiency and performance characteristics across the entire discharge cycle.
- 45C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 45C continuous discharge capacity means this battery can safely deliver 65.25 amps continuously (1450mAh × 45C), ensuring stable power delivery during normal flight or driving operations without voltage sag or performance degradation.
- 90C Burst Discharge Rating — The 90C burst rating provides 130.5 amps of peak power availability, giving your RC model the instant acceleration and responsiveness needed for aggressive manoeuvres, aerobatic flying, or high-speed driving situations.
- XT60 Connector — The industry-standard XT60 connector ensures universal compatibility with the vast majority of RC ESCs, chargers, and distribution boards used in the UK RC hobby, eliminating the need for adapter cables and simplifying your setup.
- Compact Physical Dimensions — Measuring 117mm in length, 35mm in width, and 36.5mm in height, this battery pack is engineered for space-constrained builds where battery bay volume is limited, such as lightweight helicopters and compact RC aircraft designs.
- Lightweight Construction at 227g — At just 227 grams, this battery contributes minimal weight to your RC model's overall mass budget, helping maintain optimal centre of gravity and improving flight characteristics or handling dynamics.
- Soft Case Design — The battery features a protective soft case that safeguards the cells during storage, transport, and operation, whilst remaining flexible enough to fit into tight battery compartments without requiring modification.
- 1450mAh Capacity — This moderate capacity provides adequate runtime for most RC applications whilst keeping weight and size manageable, making it particularly suitable for RC models where power-to-weight ratio is a primary concern.
Technical Performance
The Gens Ace G-Tech 6S 22.2V 1450mAh 45C battery represents a carefully engineered balance of performance parameters optimised for precision RC applications. The 6S1P configuration—meaning six cells arranged in a single parallel string—delivers a straightforward voltage curve from 25.2V fully charged down to the 18V cut-off voltage typical of 6S applications. This linear voltage delivery ensures your RC model maintains consistent power throughout the discharge cycle, crucial for maintaining stable flight characteristics in helicopters or consistent handling in RC cars. The 45C continuous discharge specification is built on Gens Ace's proven cell technology, allowing this relatively compact battery to sustain high power output without excessive heat generation or cell stress. The 90C burst capability provides the headroom needed for dynamic flying or driving, delivering that essential power surge when you demand maximum performance from your model. The engineering quality that Gens Ace builds into each battery—including internal cell balancing, protective chemistry, and quality control during manufacturing—means you're purchasing a professional-grade component that will deliver reliability over hundreds of charge cycles when properly maintained and charged with appropriate LiPo charging equipment. The XT60 connector itself is a robust, gold-plated design that ensures low-resistance power transfer and minimises voltage losses, preserving every bit of performance the cells can deliver to your ESC and motor. Whether you're operating high-performance RC aircraft, competitive RC helicopters, or precision RC cars across the UK, this battery delivers the technical performance foundation required for serious RC pursuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC models is the Gens Ace G-Tech 6S 1450mAh battery compatible with? — This battery is explicitly suitable for the Align 450 helicopter and any other RC models designed to operate with 6S LiPo batteries featuring XT60 connectors. Before purchasing, verify your model's battery requirements—the 22.2V nominal voltage must match your model's specification, and your ESC must support 6S input. Check your RC model's manual or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop for compatibility confirmation.
- What does the 45C discharge rating mean, and how does it affect battery performance? — The 45C continuous discharge rating indicates the maximum safe current this battery can deliver continuously. To calculate the amperage, multiply the capacity by the discharge rating: 1450mAh × 45C = 65.25 amps. This rating ensures the battery can power your RC model without overheating, cell damage, or voltage sag. Exceeding this rating risks damaging the battery and potentially causing safety issues.
- How long will this battery last during a flight or driving session? — Runtime depends on your specific RC model's power consumption, which varies based on throttle usage, motor KV rating, and propeller or gear selection. A rough estimate suggests that a 1450mAh battery would provide approximately 5-8 minutes of flight time in a typical helicopter at moderate throttle, though this varies significantly based on your particular model and flying style. For precision information about your model's expected runtime, consult your model's manual or contact our team.
- What is the difference between the 45C and 90C ratings on this battery? — The 45C rating is the continuous discharge rate, representing safe sustained power delivery during normal operation. The 90C rating is the burst or peak discharge rate, available for short periods during hard acceleration, aggressive manoeuvres, or aerobatic flying. This dual-rating approach means the battery can sustain normal operation safely while still providing responsive power when you demand maximum performance from your model.
- Is this battery suitable for beginners to the RC hobby? — Whilst the Gens Ace G-Tech battery itself is a high-quality product suitable for all experience levels, purchasing a standalone battery pack is most appropriate for RC operators who already own a compatible 6S model and a proper LiPo charger. If you're new to RC flying or driving, you may benefit from purchasing a ready-to-run RC model that includes a battery and charger, then upgrading to additional batteries like this one once you're familiar with LiPo battery handling and charging procedures.
- What charger do I need to charge the Gens Ace G-Tech 6S battery? — You require a LiPo battery charger that explicitly supports 6S batteries and features XT60 charging compatibility. Many dedicated LiPo chargers offer XT60 leads, and you can also use a charger with XT60-to-other-connector adapters. We recommend purchasing a quality charger from established RC brands and avoiding cheap, unbranded chargers. Our team at RC Model Shop can recommend suitable chargers for your specific needs.
- How should I store this battery between flying or driving sessions? — Store the Gens Ace G-Tech battery in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ideally, charge it to approximately 50% capacity (around 3.7V per cell, or 22.2V for a 6S pack) before extended storage periods. Store the battery in the included soft protective case to prevent physical damage, and check it monthly to ensure the voltage hasn't dropped excessively. Never store a fully charged or fully discharged battery for extended periods, as this stresses the cells and shortens overall lifespan.
- Is this battery waterproof, and can I use it in wet conditions? — The LiPo cells themselves are not waterproof, and exposing this battery directly to water will cause damage and potential safety hazards. However, the XT60 connector is water-resistant if properly maintained. If you operate RC models in wet conditions, ensure the battery connector is protected from direct water contact, and allow the battery to fully dry before charging or storing it. Always prioritise safety when operating RC equipment near water.
