The 11.1V nominal voltage is perfectly calibrated for small to medium-sized RC models.
• 1400mAh Capacity — This moderate capacity represents an intelligent balance between extended run times and manageable weight for compact RC builds. You'll enjoy sufficient flight or drive time for satisfying sessions without the bulk of larger capacity packs.
• 50C Discharge Rating — The 50C rating means this battery can safely deliver 70 amps of continuous current (1400mAh × 50C = 70A), providing excellent power delivery for high-performance motors whilst maintaining cell stability and longevity. This discharge rating supports both sporty driving styles and competitive racing applications.
• XT60 Connector — The XT60 connector is the industry standard for reliable, secure power connections in RC applications. This connector type ensures minimal voltage drop, consistent current delivery, and rock-solid reliability during intense manoeuvres and high-speed runs. XT60 connectors are widely available and supported across RC equipment throughout the UK and globally.
• Compact Dimensions — Measuring 72 x 36 x 28mm, this battery features a low-profile form factor that fits neatly into tight battery compartments. The compact size makes it ideal for small-scale RC cars, lightweight aircraft, and any application where space efficiency is essential without compromising power delivery.
• Soft Case Construction — The protective soft case shields the battery cells from physical damage during transport and storage, whilst remaining flexible enough to fit into space-constrained battery bays. This construction style allows for better heat dissipation compared to rigid cases, helping maintain optimal cell temperatures during extended use.
• Lightweight Profile — At just 0.16kg (160 grams), this battery adds minimal weight to your RC setup, preserving the handling characteristics and acceleration of your model whilst providing the power necessary for dynamic performance. The light weight is particularly advantageous for small-scale RC aircraft and lightweight buggy builds.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 3S 1400mAh 11.1V 50C battery is engineered to deliver consistent, reliable power across a wide range of RC applications. The 50C discharge rating represents the burst capacity of the pack, indicating that under peak demand, the battery can safely deliver up to 70 amps of continuous current, making it suitable for high-performance brushless motors, responsive servo systems, and demanding RC racing applications. The cell construction and internal resistance have been optimised to minimise voltage sag during peak current draws, ensuring your RC model maintains strong throttle response and consistent performance throughout your drive or flight session. The 11.1V nominal voltage is the standard for 3-cell lithium polymer batteries and is widely supported by ESC units, battery chargers, and charging systems available throughout the UK RC hobby market. The compact dimensions of 72 x 36 x 28mm make this battery particularly versatile—it will fit into most compact RC cars, small-scale helicopters, and lightweight FPV quadcopters. The soft case construction provides excellent protection against punctures and impacts whilst remaining flexible enough to compress into tight spaces, though proper storage in a LiPo-safe bag is still recommended as best practice. The 0.16kg weight represents an ideal balance for small to medium RC platforms, providing sufficient power density without the excess mass that would compromise acceleration and handling. Radient's manufacturing standards ensure consistent cell performance and longevity, with properly matched cells that discharge evenly and maintain voltage stability throughout the run. For best results, charge this battery with a quality LiPo charger capable of monitoring individual cell voltages, and always store the pack in a cool, dry environment to maximise cycle life.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC models is the Radient 3S 1400mAh 11.1V LiPo battery suitable for? — This 3S battery is versatile and works with numerous RC platforms. It's particularly well-suited to small-scale RC cars, lightweight buggy builds, small helicopter platforms, and compact FPV racing drones. Before purchase, verify that your RC model has a battery compartment compatible with the 72 x 36 x 28mm dimensions and an XT60 connector socket. The 11.1V nominal voltage should also be compatible with your ESC unit.
• Is the Radient 1400mAh 11.1V battery good for beginners? — Yes, this battery is excellent for RC hobbyists new to the sport. The 1400mAh capacity provides reasonable run times for learning sessions, and the 50C discharge rating ensures reliable performance without demanding specialist knowledge. However, users should understand basic LiPo safety practices, including proper charging procedures with a quality LiPo charger, storage in a LiPo-safe bag, and safe handling to avoid punctures or physical damage to the cells.
• How long will the Radient 3S 1400mAh battery last on a single charge? — Runtime depends heavily on your RC model's motor power, ESC settings, driving style, and the terrain you're operating on. A lightweight RC car driven moderately might achieve 15-25 minutes of continuous running, whilst high-performance motors or aggressive racing driving styles will reduce runtime to 8-12 minutes. Helicopter and drone runtime varies based on rotor size and weight. Always have multiple charged batteries available for extended RC sessions.
• What charger do I need for the Radient LiPo battery? — You'll need a LiPo-compatible battery charger capable of monitoring individual cell voltages. The charger should support 3S LiPo packs and feature adjustable charging rates. A quality balance charger will monitor all three cells independently, ensuring they charge evenly and reach the correct 4.20V per-cell maximum. Never use a charger not specifically designed for lithium polymer batteries, as this creates serious fire and explosion hazards.
• What is the XT60 connector and why does it matter? — The XT60 is a compact, gold-plated connector designed to handle high current flows whilst minimising voltage drop. It's become the industry standard for RC batteries because of its reliability, security, and consistent electrical performance. The connector design prevents accidental polarity reversal and provides a solid mechanical connection that won't slip or disconnect during high-speed runs or aggressive manoeuvres. If your ESC or charger uses a different connector type, you'll need an adapter cable.
• How should I store the Radient 3S LiPo battery? — Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight at a storage voltage of around 3.85V per cell (11.55V total for a 3S pack). Never store the battery fully charged or completely discharged. Use a dedicated LiPo-safe storage bag to contain any potential fire hazard in the unlikely event of a cell failure. Check the battery periodically during storage—if cells swell or the battery shows physical damage, discontinue use immediately.
• What is the 50C discharge rating and what does it mean for my RC model? — The 50C rating indicates the maximum safe continuous discharge rate relative to the battery's capacity. For a 1400mAh battery, this means a maximum continuous current of 70 amps (1.4A × 50 = 70A). This high discharge rating supports powerful brushless motors, responsive servo systems, and demanding racing applications whilst maintaining cell stability and preventing dangerous voltage sag that could compromise your model's performance or damage the ESC.
