Key Features
- 50C Discharge Rating — This aggressive discharge rating allows the battery to deliver sustained high current output, making it suitable for high-performance RC applications including racing, aerobatic flying, and aggressive driving styles where power consistency is critical.
- 4S Cell Configuration (14.8V) — Four lithium polymer cells in series provide 14.8 volts nominal voltage, delivering sufficient power for modern brushless motor systems whilst remaining compatible with a wide range of ESC and motor combinations used in UK RC hobby builds.
- 1800mAh Capacity — The 1800mAh capacity strikes an excellent balance between runtime and weight, providing adequate flight or run time for most RC sessions without the bulk and weight penalty of larger capacity packs, making it ideal for scale models and competitive racing.
- XT60 Connector — The industry-standard XT60 bullet connector is widely recognised and used across RC equipment in the UK, ensuring seamless compatibility with modern brushless ESCs, chargers, and parallel charging boards without requiring any adapters.
- Soft Case Design — The protective soft case material shields the lithium polymer cells from minor impacts and damage during transport and storage, whilst remaining lightweight to minimise the overall battery weight contribution to your RC model.
- Compact Dimensions — Measuring 106 x 34 x 28mm, this battery pack is exceptionally compact and fits easily into tight battery bays found on many popular RC car and truck platforms, allowing you to maintain a low centre of gravity for improved handling.
- Professional Build Quality — Radient's manufacturing standards ensure consistent performance across multiple packs, allowing you to confidently use this battery alongside others in your collection without worrying about variance in performance or reliability.
Technical Performance
The Radient LiPo 4S 1800mAh battery delivers exceptional performance through careful engineering and quality component selection. The 50C discharge rating means this battery can safely deliver up to 90 amps of continuous current (1800mAh × 50C = 90A), providing the immediate power response required for competitive RC racing and high-performance aerobatic flying. The four-cell configuration produces a nominal voltage of 14.8 volts, which sits comfortably within the operating range of most modern brushless ESC units rated for 4S LiPo packs. The soft case construction uses materials chosen to balance durability with weight minimisation, ensuring the battery maintains structural integrity throughout charge cycles and field use without adding unnecessary mass to your RC model. At a shipping weight of 0.22kg (0.48 pounds), this battery contributes minimal weight to your overall model, allowing you to achieve better acceleration, handling, and flight characteristics compared to heavier battery alternatives. The XT60 connector uses gold-plated contacts to ensure low-resistance power transfer, reducing voltage sag during peak current draw and maintaining consistent performance throughout the discharge cycle. Whether you're running this battery in a high-performance 1/10 scale RC car, a 1/8 scale buggy, or an FPV racing drone, the combination of capacity, discharge rating, and build quality ensures reliable power delivery in demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC models is the Radient 4S 1800mAh battery suitable for? — This battery is compatible with any RC model equipped with a 4S LiPo-rated ESC and XT60 connector, including RC cars, buggies, trucks, and FPV drones. Before use, verify your model's voltage requirements, available space for the 106 x 34 x 28mm pack, and ensure your ESC and motor system are rated for 14.8V 4S operation.
- How long does the battery take to charge? — Charge time depends on your charger's output capacity and the charge rate you select. For optimal battery longevity, Radient recommends charging at 1C (1.8A) or lower, which would require approximately one hour of charging time. Higher-capacity chargers may reduce this time, but charging at conservative rates extends cell lifespan.
- What is the difference between 50C and lower discharge ratings? — The 50C discharge rating indicates this battery can deliver current at 50 times its capacity per hour, making it suitable for demanding applications requiring sustained high power draw. Lower discharge ratings (such as 25C or 35C) limit current delivery and are better suited for models with lower power requirements, making the 50C pack ideal for racing and performance-focused builds.
- Can I use a parallel charging board with this battery? — Yes, the XT60 connector is fully compatible with modern parallel charging boards commonly available in the UK RC hobby market. This allows you to charge multiple batteries simultaneously, making it efficient to maintain a collection of Radient packs for extended RC sessions.
- Is this battery suitable for beginners? — Whilst the battery itself is straightforward to use, lithium polymer batteries require responsible handling and storage practices. Users should be 14 years or older and familiar with LiPo battery safety, including proper charging procedures, storage at safe voltage levels, and safe disposal of aged batteries. If you're new to LiPo batteries, research proper handling before purchasing.
- What safety precautions should I take with this LiPo battery? — Always charge your Radient LiPo in a fireproof charging bag or container, never leave charging batteries unattended, avoid overcharging by using a dedicated LiPo charger with cell balancing, store the battery at 3.8V per cell in a cool dry place, and inspect for swelling or damage before each use.
