Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient LiPo 2S 1200mAh suitable for beginner RC hobbyists? — Yes, absolutely. The 1200mAh capacity, 7.4V output, and 30C discharge rating make this battery suitable for a wide range of beginner-friendly RC models. The compact size and lightweight construction also mean it won't cause problems for newer hobbyists learning to balance and tune their models. However, always ensure your RC charger and ESC are compatible with 2S LiPo batteries before use.
• What type of RC models can use this battery? — This battery is versatile and compatible with numerous RC applications including small RC cars, RC trucks, RC helicopters, racing drones, fixed-wing RC aircraft, and various other compact electric RC models. The 7.4V output and 1200mAh capacity make it particularly popular for smaller, lightweight builds where space and weight are premium considerations.
• What does the 30C discharge rating mean? — The 30C rating indicates the maximum continuous current the battery can safely deliver. For a 1200mAh battery, 30C means it can safely discharge at 36 amps continuously (1200mAh × 30 = 36,000mA or 36A). This is more than adequate for small to medium RC models and ensures the battery won't become a limiting factor in performance.
• Does this battery come with a charger? — No, the battery pack itself does not include a charger. You will need a LiPo-compatible battery charger to recharge this battery. Most RC hobbyists already own compatible chargers, but if you need one, RC Model Shop stocks a range of LiPo chargers suitable for 2S packs.
• How long does this battery take to charge? — Charging time depends on your charger specifications and the charging current you select. Typically, charging at 1.2A (1C charging rate) would take approximately one hour, though faster chargers can reduce this time significantly. Always refer to your charger's instructions for specific timing.
• What is the JST connector? — The JST connector is one of the most common battery connectors used in RC hobby applications. It's a small, compact connector that plugs directly into your RC equipment's ESC or receiver. The JST standard ensures compatibility across thousands of RC products available in the UK and worldwide.
• How does the 2S configuration compare to 3S batteries? — A 2S LiPo provides 7.4V nominal output, whilst a 3S LiPo provides 11.1V. The 2S configuration is perfect for smaller, lighter RC models and delivers lower top speed but excellent efficiency. The 3S provides significantly more power and speed but requires heavier-duty components and suits larger models. Choose based on your specific RC model's requirements.
• Is the 75-gram weight significant? — For RC applications, weight is critical. At 75 grams, this battery is genuinely lightweight, making it ideal for small drones, electric RC helicopters, and compact RC cars where weight distribution and total mass directly impact performance, responsiveness, and flight characteristics.
• Can I use this battery in multiple models? — Yes, provided your other RC models are compatible with 2S LiPo batteries and JST connectors. Many RC enthusiasts purchase multiple batteries to rotate between models, allowing them to run extended sessions without waiting for batteries to charge.
