Key Features

• 4S LiPo Chemistry (14.8V nominal) — The four-cell configuration delivers 14.8 volts at full charge, providing sufficient voltage for brushless motor systems and modern electronic speed controllers without requiring parallel packs or complex wiring arrangements.
• 50C Continuous Discharge Rating — This high C-rating means the battery can safely deliver 110 amps of continuous current (2200mAh × 50C), enabling rapid acceleration and sustained high-speed driving whilst maintaining electrical integrity and longevity.
• 2200mAh Capacity — The 2200mAh (2.2Ah) capacity strikes an excellent balance between runtime and weight, providing sufficient energy for varied RC driving scenarios from casual backyard sessions to competitive track days.
• XT60 Connector — The gold-plated XT60 connector is the industry standard for mid-capacity LiPo packs, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of modern brushless RC cars, RC trucks, and specialist RC vehicles available in the UK market.
• Compact Physical Dimensions — Measuring just 106mm length × 34mm width × 35mm height, this battery pack fits comfortably into battery bays designed for standard 4S packs, offering excellent fitment in compact RC chassis without modification.
• Soft Case Protection — The included soft case safeguards the battery during transport and storage, reducing the risk of damage to the cells and connector whilst allowing for proper ventilation and heat dissipation during charging cycles.
• Lightweight Construction — With a total weight of just 260 grams, this battery adds minimal mass to your RC model, helping preserve the handling balance and performance characteristics of your RC buggy, RC truggy, or other platform.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 4S 2200mAh 14.8V 50C XT60 battery is engineered for serious RC hobbyists who demand consistent electrical performance across extended driving sessions. The 50C discharge rating is particularly significant for UK RC enthusiasts running brushless motor systems, as it provides sufficient current headroom for high-KV brushless motors whilst maintaining voltage stability even under full throttle conditions. The 4S voltage configuration (14.8V nominal, 16.8V fully charged) is optimised for brushless ESC platforms that utilise this voltage range, including popular Hobbywing and Castle electronic speed controllers. The 2200mAh capacity delivers approximately 15-25 minutes of runtime depending on driving style, terrain, and motor selection—adequate for multiple battery-swap sessions during an afternoon at the track or bash spot. Construction quality throughout reflects Radient's commitment to lithium polymer battery manufacturing standards, with protected cell chemistry that resists internal short circuits and thermal runaway. The XT60 connector uses gold-plated contacts to minimise resistance losses and heat generation during discharge, ensuring maximum voltage delivery to your brushless motor and ESC. Storage voltage for this pack should be maintained at approximately 3.85V per cell (15.4V total) for optimal long-term health, and regular use with proper charging protocols will maintain cycle count longevity well beyond 100 charge cycles. This battery integrates seamlessly into any RC car platform—whether 1/10-scale stadium trucks, 1/8-scale buggies, or specialist RC crawlers—that accepts 4S LiPo packs with XT60 connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient 4S 2200mAh 50C battery suitable for beginner RC drivers? — This battery is recommended for drivers aged 14 and upwards who have experience handling lithium polymer batteries safely. Beginners should understand LiPo charging protocols, storage requirements, and safe handling procedures before using this pack. If you're new to RC, we recommend speaking with our expert team at RC Model Shop for guidance on safe battery practices.
• What RC vehicles are compatible with this 4S XT60 battery? — This battery works with any RC car, RC buggy, RC truck, or specialist RC model equipped with a 4S-compatible brushless ESC and an XT60 connector. This includes the E-flite Ultimate 3D biplane (with appropriate converter lead if required) and countless other electric RC platforms available in the UK market. Always verify your vehicle's battery specifications before purchasing.
• How long does this 2200mAh battery last during driving? — Runtime varies based on driving style, terrain, motor type, and ESC programming, but you can typically expect 15-25 minutes of continuous driving from a fully charged 2200mAh pack. Casual recreational driving may yield longer runtime, whilst competitive racing with aggressive throttle inputs will reduce runtime accordingly.
• What charger do I need for this 4S LiPo battery? — You'll need a dedicated LiPo-compatible charger capable of balancing all four cells. Modern multi-chemistry chargers from brands like Spektrum, Hobbywing, and SKYRC all support 4S LiPo charging. Never use standard NiMH chargers with lithium polymer packs.
• Is the 50C discharge rating important? — Yes, the 50C rating ensures this battery can safely supply sufficient current for brushless motor systems without excessive voltage sag or overheating. A 50C rating is ideal for mid-range brushless RC vehicles and provides headroom for competitive driving whilst maintaining electrical stability.
• Can I use this battery with converters for different connectors? — Yes, XT60-to-EC3 converter leads are available and allow you to use this battery with vehicles featuring EC3 connectors, though direct XT60 compatibility is always preferable to minimise resistance losses.
• How should I store this 4S LiPo battery? — Store the battery in its included soft case at approximately 3.85V per cell (15.4V total) in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Never store a fully charged or deeply discharged LiPo battery for extended periods, and check voltage monthly during long-term storage.
