Technical Performance

The Traxxas LiPo 2S 3000mAh 7.4V iD Power Cell Battery represents serious engineering focused on delivering reliable, powerful performance for Traxxas RC vehicles. The 3000mAh capacity combined with the 20C discharge rating gives you a maximum burst discharge of up to 60 amps, which translates to explosive acceleration and sustained high-speed running capabilities. The battery utilises proven lithium polymer chemistry, which provides higher voltage stability under load compared to traditional nickel-metal hydride batteries, meaning your RC car maintains stronger power delivery throughout the discharge cycle rather than experiencing voltage sag as the battery depletes. The compact dimensions of 135mm length by 44mm width by 25mm height, weighing just 5.5 ounces, ensure the battery fits precisely within the Traxxas battery bay whilst maintaining optimal weight distribution for balanced handling. The iD connector system featured on this battery is Traxxas' exclusive proprietary connection interface, which ensures that only compatible Traxxas chargers can charge this battery, eliminating the guesswork and potential safety hazards associated with charging LiPo batteries with mismatched or non-specialist equipment. This is particularly important for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want a foolproof, safe charging solution that doesn't require technical knowledge or specialist charging equipment beyond standard Traxxas iD chargers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Traxxas LiPo 2S 3000mAh 7.4V iD Power Cell Battery compatible with my Traxxas RC car? — This battery is compatible with Traxxas models that feature 2S LiPo battery compartments and iD connector systems, including vehicles like the Traxxas Bigfoot HD 1:10 Electric XL-5 2WD RTR Monster Truck and the Traxxas Bigfoot HD BL-2S 1:10 Electric 2WD Monster Truck. Check your vehicle's documentation to confirm 2S LiPo compatibility before purchasing. If your Traxxas RC vehicle came with an iD battery in the box or is listed as iD-equipped, this battery will work perfectly.
• How long does this RC LiPo battery take to charge? — Charging time depends on the charger you use. With a Traxxas iD Completer Charger on a standard outlet, you can expect charging times of approximately 60-90 minutes from completely depleted to full, depending on your charger model. The iD system automatically manages charging voltage and current for safety, so you won't need to adjust settings manually.
• What is the 20C discharge rating and what does it mean for my RC car performance? — The 20C discharge rating indicates the maximum safe continuous discharge current the battery can deliver, calculated by multiplying the battery capacity by 20. In this case, 3000mAh × 20 = 60 amps maximum continuous discharge. This high discharge rate means your RC car will experience strong acceleration and sustained high-speed performance without voltage sag, making it ideal for racing and aggressive driving on both road and off-road terrain.
• Why should I choose the Traxxas iD battery system over other LiPo batteries for my RC car UK setup? — The Traxxas iD system is exclusive to Traxxas and offers unmatched ease of use and safety. The iD intelligent connector system means you cannot accidentally plug your battery into an incompatible charger or connect it with reverse polarity, eliminating the leading causes of LiPo battery damage and fires. The integrated safety features also monitor battery temperature and cell voltage during charging, automatically stopping charge if any problem is detected. Only Traxxas gives you this level of built-in safety and simplicity, making it the preferred choice for RC enthusiasts who value reliability and peace of mind.
• How many times can I charge this battery before it needs replacement? — LiPo batteries like the Traxxas Power Cell are typically rated for 200-400+ charge cycles if properly maintained and charged using the correct iD charger. To maximise battery lifespan, always charge immediately after use, store in a cool dry place, avoid fully discharging to critical levels, and never leave batteries charging unattended. Proper care will ensure your 3000mAh battery delivers years of reliable service.
• Is this battery suitable for beginners to RC cars UK? — Yes, absolutely. The Traxxas LiPo 2S 3000mAh 7.4V iD Power Cell Battery is ideal for beginners because the iD system completely removes the complexity from battery charging. There's no need to understand discharge rates, balance charging, or charger settings — you simply plug the iD connector into your iD charger and let it do the work safely. This makes it perfect for newcomers to RC who want reliable performance without the learning curve of traditional LiPo charging methods.
• Can I use this battery with other brand RC cars or only with Traxxas models? — This battery is engineered specifically for Traxxas models with 2S LiPo compatibility and iD connector systems. It will not work with other brand RC cars unless they have iD-compatible charging connectors, which is extremely rare outside the Traxxas ecosystem. If you own multiple RC brands, you may need different batteries for each manufacturer's vehicles.
