Key Features

• 4S Lithium Polymer Chemistry — This battery utilises proven four-cell LiPo technology, delivering a nominal voltage of 14.8V which is the industry standard for 4S applications. The four-cell configuration provides excellent voltage characteristics for powering medium-power RC electric motors, ensuring consistent performance throughout the discharge cycle and compatibility with the vast majority of 4S-capable RC electronic speed controllers available in the UK RC market.
• 2200mAh Capacity — The substantial 2200 milliamp-hour capacity provides sufficient energy storage to power your RC model for extended periods, delivering impressive runtime whilst keeping the overall weight and physical dimensions compact. This capacity is ideal for 1/10 scale RC cars and similar sized models where a balance between run time and weight distribution is essential.
• 50C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 50C discharge rating means this battery can safely deliver 110 amps of continuous current (2.2Ah x 50C = 110A), making it suitable for high-performance brushless RC setups that demand substantial power. This rating ensures the battery maintains stable voltage delivery even under demanding acceleration and racing scenarios, preventing voltage sag that could compromise performance or cause electronic damage. The 50C rating places this battery firmly in the performance category for serious RC hobbyists.
• Deans (HCT) Connector — The industry-standard Deans HCT connector is widely used across RC vehicles throughout the UK, ensuring this battery will connect directly to your ESC without requiring expensive adapter cables. The secure, gold-plated connector design minimises resistance and voltage drop, optimising power delivery to your RC model's motor and maximising overall system efficiency.
• Compact Soft Case Design — Measuring just 106mm in length, 34mm in width and 35mm in height, this battery features a protective soft case that fits easily into tight battery compartments found in modern RC cars and buggies. The soft case provides essential protection against physical damage during transport and storage whilst remaining flexible enough to conform to various battery bay shapes, making installation and removal straightforward.
• Lightweight Construction — At only 0.25kg (560 grams), this battery pack is exceptionally lightweight, helping you maintain optimal weight balance and centre of gravity in your RC model. The minimal weight penalty means you can allocate weight budget to other chassis components or ballast positioning to fine-tune handling characteristics.
• Suitable for Ages 14+ — This battery is recommended for users aged 14 and above, reflecting the need for responsible handling of lithium polymer batteries and appropriate supervision. Older hobbyists and experienced RC enthusiasts will appreciate the performance characteristics and reliability this battery delivers.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 4S 2200mAh battery represents modern lithium polymer battery engineering optimised for performance-oriented RC applications. The 50C discharge rating is particularly significant for high-performance electric RC cars, indicating this battery can sustain demanding power draws without experiencing excessive voltage sag or premature cutoff from your ESC's low-voltage detection circuit. The 14.8V nominal voltage of a 4S configuration (4 cells × 3.7V per cell) is the recognised standard across the RC hobby worldwide and ensures perfect compatibility with any ESC or motor system designed for 4S LiPo batteries. The soft case construction utilises industry-standard materials that provide excellent protection against physical damage, moisture ingress and accidental puncture whilst remaining lightweight. The battery's overall dimensions of 106 x 34 x 35mm make it suitable for models specifically designed to accept 4S LiPo packs of this size—a measurement you should verify against your vehicle's battery compartment specifications before purchase. The construction quality reflects Radient's reputation as a manufacturer of dependable RC batteries trusted by experienced RC competitors and enthusiasts throughout the United Kingdom. Maximum performance and longevity are achieved through proper charging procedures using a quality 4S-capable LiPo charger, balanced charging to maintain cell voltage equality, and storage at appropriate voltage levels between use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient 4S 2200mAh LiPo battery suitable for beginners? — Whilst this battery delivers excellent performance, lithium polymer batteries require responsible handling, proper charging procedures and safety awareness. The 14+ age recommendation reflects this requirement. Beginners should seek guidance from experienced RC hobbyists or visit a specialist RC retailer like RC Model Shop where staff can provide essential safety training before using LiPo batteries for the first time.
• What does the 50C discharge rating mean and is it important? — The 50C rating indicates this battery can continuously discharge at 50 times its capacity—in this case, 110 amps maximum (2.2Ah × 50 = 110A). For high-performance brushless RC cars with demanding motors and high-current ESCs, the 50C rating ensures stable voltage delivery and prevents voltage sag that could affect acceleration response and overall performance. If your RC model draws less current, you won't need all this capability, but you'll have it available for spirited driving.
• Will this battery fit my RC model? — The Radient measures 106mm x 34mm x 35mm and uses a Deans (HCT) connector. It is compatible with RC models specifically designed to accept 4S LiPo batteries of approximately these dimensions with a Deans connector. You must verify your vehicle's battery compartment dimensions, connector type and voltage requirements before purchase. The RC Model Shop team are happy to help confirm compatibility—contact us on 01543 577278 if you're uncertain.
• What charger do I need for this 4S LiPo battery? — You'll need a dedicated lithium polymer battery charger capable of handling 4S packs (14.8V nominal) with balancing functionality. Single-cell balancing ensures each of the four cells maintains equal voltage, extending battery lifespan and optimising performance. Many modern chargers support 4S charging; the RC Model Shop can recommend suitable options if you don't already have one.
• How long will this battery last during RC driving? — Runtime depends entirely on your RC model's weight, motor efficiency, driving style and terrain. A 2200mAh battery powering a typical 1/10 scale RC car might provide 15-25 minutes of spirited driving, though gentler use could extend this considerably. Heavier vehicles or high-power motor setups will consume power faster and reduce runtime proportionally.
• How should I store this battery when not in use? — Lithium polymer batteries should be stored at a partial charge level (approximately 50% capacity) in a cool, dry location away from flammable materials. Never store fully charged or completely discharged. A LiPo storage bag or metal ammunition box provides excellent safe storage. Check batteries monthly and top up charge if voltage has dropped significantly.
• Is this battery waterproof? — Whilst the soft case provides protection against splashes and minor water exposure, this is not a waterproof battery pack. It should not be deliberately submerged or exposed to heavy rain, as moisture ingress could cause short circuits or damage internal cells. If your RC model is used in wet conditions, protective measures should be taken.
