Traxxas 1000mAh 7.4V 2-Cell 20C LiPo Battery for 1/18 RC Models TRX2822

Overview

The Traxxas 1000mAh 7.4V 2-Cell 20C LiPo Battery TRX2822 is a compact, high-performance power solution designed specifically for 1/18 scale RC models. Whether you're piloting a Traxxas TRX-4M trail truck, Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, or TRX-4MT monster truck, this certified battery delivers the consistent punch and on-demand power that Traxxas RC vehicles are engineered to harness. For enthusiasts seeking a reliable RC battery in the UK market, this represents the perfect balance of affordability, performance and compatibility with Traxxas' renowned iD battery ecosystem.

Traxxas has built its reputation on delivering high-quality RC cars and trucks that demand equally impressive power systems. This 1000mAh LiPo battery is no exception. It's purpose-built for the smaller 1/18 scale models in the Traxxas range, offering genuine OEM specifications and the safety features that only Traxxas-certified batteries provide. If you're running a ready to run RC truck or trail crawler and need a second battery for extended play sessions, or if your original battery needs replacement, the TRX2822 is an authorised Traxxas product that guarantees perfect compatibility and optimal performance.

What sets this battery apart in the competitive UK RC hobby market is Traxxas' exclusive iD battery system. This intelligent technology makes charging simpler, safer, and more convenient than ever before. No complicated balance connectors or manual charging procedures—the iD system handles the technical complexity so you can focus on enjoying your RC experience.

Key Features

• Traxxas Certified iD-Equipped Design — This battery features Traxxas' proprietary iD connector system, which is the easier and safer way to charge your Traxxas batteries. The iD technology eliminates guesswork and compatibility issues, ensuring that every charge is optimised for maximum battery life and performance.
• 1000mAh Capacity for Extended Runtime — With 1000 milliampere-hours of capacity, this battery provides sufficient run time for recreational bashing, trail exploration, and casual racing. The 1000mAh capacity strikes an ideal balance between weight and duration, keeping your 1/18 scale RC model responsive whilst delivering meaningful play sessions.
• 7.4V Two-Cell Configuration — The 2-cell (2S) LiPo chemistry provides 7.4 volts nominal voltage, delivering the perfect power level for 1/18 scale motors. This voltage specification is optimised to reach the top speeds that Traxxas models are built to deliver, without over-stressing smaller electronic components.
• 20C Discharge Rate for Responsive Performance — The 20C continuous discharge rate ensures that your battery can deliver the amps your RC model demands, whether you're accelerating hard off the line, climbing steep terrain, or navigating technical trail sections. This specification allows your vehicle to access full throttle performance consistently throughout the battery's charge cycle.
• Compact Form Factor — Measuring just 51mm in length, 30mm in width, and 18mm in height, this battery is engineered to fit perfectly into the tight battery compartments of 1/18 scale Traxxas models. The lightweight design at just 1.76 ounces ensures optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics.
• Genuine Traxxas OEM Product — As an authorised Traxxas battery pack, this is the genuine article—not a third-party alternative. You're purchasing factory-approved hardware that meets Traxxas' own quality standards, ensuring reliable performance and safety compliance.
• Perfect for Multi-Battery Setups — Serious RC enthusiasts know that having a second battery dramatically extends your hobby time. Purchase the TRX2822 as a spare battery to double your run time, or rotate batteries to allow charging time between sessions without waiting.

Technical Performance

This 1000mAh LiPo battery is engineered with lithium polymer chemistry, which offers superior energy density compared to older NiMH battery technologies once common in RC hobby. The 20C discharge rating means this battery can safely deliver up to 20 amps continuously (20 × 1.0Ah = 20A), providing the responsive throttle response and acceleration that modern brushless motors in 1/18 scale Traxxas models demand. The 7.4V nominal voltage (measured at full charge it reaches approximately 8.4V) is precisely calibrated for the electronic speed controllers fitted to TRX-4M and TRX-4MT platforms. Unlike generic LiPo packs, this battery integrates Traxxas' iD connector technology, which communicates with compatible Traxxas chargers to deliver the precise charge profile each battery requires. This intelligent system protects against overcharging, over-discharging, and thermal issues that can degrade battery lifespan. The compact dimensions ensure the battery nestles securely within the battery trays of 1/18 scale Traxxas vehicles, maintaining optimal weight distribution and not interfering with suspension articulation or ground clearance. The battery delivers consistent voltage throughout the discharge cycle, maintaining motor performance and top speed even as charge depletes—a critical advantage when exploring UK woodland trails or participating in weekend RC events where performance fade could prove problematic.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Traxxas TRX2822 battery compatible with my Traxxas 1/18 RC model? — Yes, this battery is designed specifically as an accessory for TRX-4M and TRX-4MT 1/18 scale models, including the 1979 Chevrolet K10 variants, 1979 Ford F-150 variants, Ford Bronco, and Land Rover Defender models. Always verify your specific model number in the compatibility list to ensure perfect fit before purchasing.
• What charger do I need to charge this battery? — The iD connector requires a Traxxas iD charger. The battery communicates with compatible Traxxas chargers to ensure optimal charging. If you don't already own a Traxxas iD charger, you'll need to purchase one separately to charge this battery—this is a one-time investment that works with all your Traxxas iD batteries.
• How long will this battery last per charge? — Run time depends on driving style, terrain, motor type, and motor load. In typical recreational bashing conditions on flat terrain, you can expect 15-30 minutes of runtime per full charge. Trail driving with frequent hill climbs will use battery capacity faster. This is why many enthusiasts purchase multiple batteries—you charge one whilst driving with another.
• Is this battery suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The Traxxas iD system is specifically designed to make battery ownership simpler for newcomers to the RC hobby. There's no complex balancing procedure or technical knowledge required—the battery and charger handle the technical details automatically. However, you do need a Traxxas iD charger, which is an additional purchase if you don't own one.
• Can I use this battery with non-Traxxas RC models? — Whilst the physical dimensions and voltage may seem compatible with other 1/18 scale vehicles, Traxxas specifically certifies these batteries for use with Traxxas models. We recommend using manufacturer-approved batteries for your specific RC vehicle to ensure warranty coverage and optimal performance. Using off-brand batteries in Traxxas models may void your vehicle warranty.
• How do I store this battery when not in use? — LiPo batteries should be stored in a cool, dry location, ideally in a fireproof LiPo storage bag. Never leave a fully charged LiPo battery idle for extended periods—if storing for more than a few weeks, charge or discharge the battery to approximately 50% capacity, then store in a safe container away from metal objects, moisture, and heat sources.
• What makes the iD system safer than standard LiPo connectors? — The Traxxas iD system includes data communication between battery and charger, allowing the charger to verify battery specifications and condition before delivering charge. This prevents mismatches, overcharging, and thermal runaway conditions. The connector design is also more robust than traditional balance connectors, reducing connection failures.
