Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC models are compatible with the Radient LiPo 2S 1400mAh 7.4V 30C XT60 battery? — This battery is compatible with any RC model that accepts a 2S LiPo battery with an XT60 connector and can accommodate the dimensions of 68mm length × 18mm width × 37mm height. This includes small electric RC cars, compact RC buggies, mini RC trucks, lightweight RC helicopters, small quadcopters, and portable RC aircraft. We recommend checking your RC model's specification sheet to confirm voltage and connector compatibility before purchase.
• Is this battery suitable for beginners in RC hobbies? — Yes, the Radient 2S 1400mAh battery is well-suited for beginners aged 14 and above who are starting their journey into electric RC vehicles. The 30C rating provides reliable performance without excessive power delivery, making it forgiving for newer RC drivers. However, users must understand proper lithium polymer battery safety, including correct charging procedures, storage methods, and handling precautions. We recommend new RC enthusiasts familiarise themselves with LiPo charging safety before their first use.
• How long does this battery take to charge? — Charge time depends on your charger's output and settings. Using a standard 1C charge rate (1400mA or 1.4A), this battery would charge in approximately one hour. Most modern RC lithium polymer chargers in the UK support variable charge rates, allowing faster charging at higher rates, though this may reduce overall battery lifespan. Always follow your charger manufacturer's recommendations for safe charging.
• What is the difference between 30C, 50C, and 100C LiPo ratings? — The C rating indicates the maximum continuous discharge current: a 30C battery like this one can safely discharge at 30 times its capacity (30 × 1400mAh = 42 amps maximum). Higher C-rated batteries (50C, 100C) can deliver more current for high-performance applications but typically cost more and may be unnecessary for moderate-performance RC vehicles. The 30C rating is perfectly adequate for most entry-level to mid-range electric RC models.
• How should I store this Radient LiPo battery? — Store the battery in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ideally, maintain storage charge at approximately 50% capacity (around 3.7V per cell, or 7.4V nominal for a 2S pack). Store in the soft case provided to prevent accidental short circuits. Keep away from metal objects and flammable materials. Never store a damaged or swollen battery in your home.
• Is this battery waterproof? — No, this Radient LiPo battery is not waterproof and should not be exposed to water or moisture. If your RC vehicle gets wet, remove the battery immediately and allow it to dry completely before recharging. Do not attempt to charge a wet battery as this poses serious safety risks including fire hazard.
