Key Features

• Powerful 45C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 45C discharge rate means this battery can safely deliver continuous high current output, providing excellent performance and longevity with light weight and compact dimensions. This rating ensures your RC model gets the power it needs for responsive acceleration and sustained performance whether you're running a brushless motor or other high-demand electronic systems.
• 3S LiPo Configuration (11.1V Nominal) — With three cells in series, this battery delivers 11.1V nominal voltage, which is the most popular standard for mid-range RC cars, buggies, trucks and other models sold across the UK. This voltage configuration is optimised for modern brushless motors and electronic speed controllers (ESCs) used in contemporary RC vehicles.
• 2200mAh Capacity — The 2200 milliamp-hour capacity provides a balanced combination of runtime and weight, making it suitable for a wide variety of RC applications from short-course trucks to off-road buggies and scale crawlers. You get meaningful flight or run time without the weight penalty of larger capacity batteries.
• XT60 Discharge Connector — The XT60 connector is one of the most widely used discharge connectors in the RC hobby, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of RC car ESCs and power distribution systems. This standardised connector makes swapping batteries between compatible models quick and hassle-free.
• JST-XHR Balance Connector — The integrated JST-XHR balance lead allows safe, proper charging of each cell individually when used with a LiPo-compatible balance charger, extending battery life and maintaining cell health over many charge cycles.
• Compact Dimensions and Lightweight Design — Measuring just 105 x 34 x 23mm and weighing 190g, this battery fits into tight battery compartments whilst keeping your RC model's weight distribution optimal. The soft case design provides protection against damage during transport and storage without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Fast Charge Capability — With a recommended charge rate of 1–3C and a maximum charge rate of 5C, this battery can be recharged in as little as 20 minutes or less using an appropriate charger, getting you back on the track or trail quickly.
• Soft Case Protection — The battery comes in a protective soft case that shields it from impacts and damage whilst remaining lightweight and easy to pack into your RC kitbag or storage box.

Technical Performance

The GENSACE G-Tech 3S 2200mAh 45C battery represents solid engineering that balances performance with practicality. Built with quality cells and engineering, this LiPo pack delivers a continuous 45C discharge rate, which translates to 99 amps of maximum continuous discharge (45 × 2.2 = 99A). This makes it capable of powering modern brushless RC cars and trucks with responsive acceleration and sustained performance throughout your run. The 11.1V nominal voltage is the sweet spot for brushless systems in the RC hobby market, working perfectly with standard 3S-compatible ESCs ranging from budget-friendly options to competition-grade controllers. The compact form factor—105mm in length, 34mm in width, and 23mm in height—allows this battery to fit into most RC car chassis designed for standard 3S batteries, whilst the 190g weight keeps your model balanced without excessive mass. The battery's soft case construction protects cells and connections during storage and transport, crucial for maintaining the integrity of LiPo chemistry over time. The JST-XHR balance connector ensures each of the three cells can be monitored and charged individually, preventing the cell imbalance issues that can reduce battery lifespan. When charged at the recommended 1–3C rate using a quality LiPo-compatible balance charger, the battery charges safely and thoroughly, with an optional 5C maximum rate available for quick top-ups when time is limited. This is the type of battery that works reliably across hundreds of charge cycles when properly maintained, making it excellent value for money in the competitive RC hobby market.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC models is this battery compatible with? — This battery is designed for any RC model that specifies a 3S 11.1V LiPo battery with XT60 connector and can accommodate dimensions of 105 x 34 x 23mm. This includes most mid-range RC cars, buggies, trucks, and crawlers sold in the UK market. Always verify your specific model's battery requirements before purchase to ensure proper fit and electrical compatibility.
• How long does it take to charge this battery? — Using a quality LiPo-compatible balance charger, you can charge this battery in as little as 20 minutes or less at the 5C maximum charge rate (11 amps). For safer, more leisurely charging that's gentler on the cells, the recommended 1–3C charge rate (2.2–6.6 amps) will charge the battery fully in 20 to 60 minutes depending on charger type and settings. Always use a charger specifically designed for LiPo batteries with balance charging capability.
• What is the difference between this 45C battery and lower discharge-rate batteries? — The 45C continuous discharge rating means this battery can safely deliver very high currents for sustained periods, making it better suited to high-performance brushless RC cars and demanding applications. Lower C-rating batteries (such as 25C or 30C) are more conservative and suitable for lighter-duty applications or lower-powered setups, but may limit performance in high-demand scenarios. For competitive RC driving or running powerful brushless motors, the 45C rating of the G-Tech provides the headroom you need.
• Is this battery suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is an excellent battery for beginners using 3S LiPo systems. The XT60 connector is industry-standard and widely compatible. However, beginners should ensure they have a proper LiPo-compatible balance charger before purchase, as LiPo batteries require specific charging discipline for safety and longevity. Never use standard NiMH chargers with LiPo packs. If you're new to LiPo batteries, we recommend speaking with our team at RC Model Shop who can guide you through proper charging and maintenance practices.
• How do I know if this battery will fit my RC model? — Check your model's manual or specifications for battery requirements. Look for: (1) voltage requirement of 11.1V or 3S, (2) XT60 connector compatibility, and (3) physical dimensions around 105 x 34 x 23mm. If your model uses different voltage (such as 2S at 7.4V or 4S at 14.8V), this battery will not be compatible. When in doubt, contact our team at RC Model Shop for compatibility verification.
• What charger do I need for this battery? — You must use a LiPo-compatible balance charger capable of charging 3S packs. The charger should support charge rates between 1–5C (2.2–11 amps). Look for a charger with a dedicated JST-XHR balance port to charge the three cells individually. Many modern RC chargers (sometimes called "multi-chargers" or "LiPo chargers") support multiple battery types and connector types, but always verify that your charger specifically supports 3S LiPo charging via balance lead before use.
• How should I store this battery to maintain its health? — Store the G-Tech battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50% state of charge (around 3.85V per cell, or 11.55V total). Check the battery every few months and top up the charge if the voltage drops below 11.4V, as deep discharge can damage LiPo cells. Always keep the battery in its protective soft case and store it away from metal objects that could cause short circuits. Never store a swollen or damaged battery indoors; such batteries should be discharged safely and disposed of responsibly at an appropriate recycling facility.
• What makes the Gens Ace G-Tech range special? — Gens Ace is a respected manufacturer with a strong reputation for quality LiPo batteries used by RC enthusiasts and professionals worldwide. The G-Tech range specifically combines reliable performance, lightweight design, and excellent value for money. Gens Ace batteries undergo rigorous quality control and testing, so you can trust that the cells are balanced, the connector is secure, and the performance will be consistent across multiple charge cycles. This is why the G-Tech range is a popular choice among UK RC retailers and enthusiasts.
