• Deans (HCT) Connector — This industry-standard connector type is widely adopted across the RC hobby and provides a secure, reliable connection that minimises connection resistance and eliminates the frustration of accidental disconnections during critical moments of operation.
• Slim 12mm Profile — The exceptionally compact height of just 12 millimetres means this battery fits easily into tight battery bays found in many popular RC models, including compact RC buggies, stadium trucks, and scale crawlers, without requiring chassis modifications or creative mounting solutions.
• Compact Footprint — At 137mm length and 43mm width, this battery's dimensions are optimised for installation in standard RC vehicle battery compartments, delivering flexible compatibility across a wide range of RC car UK models and international platforms.
• Lightweight Construction — Weighing just 148 grams, this battery keeps your RC model's overall mass manageable, which directly improves acceleration, handling characteristics, and battery life by reducing the total weight your motor and ESC must move, a critical factor in competitive RC performance.
• Soft Case Protection — The included protective soft case provides essential storage and transportation protection for your battery, safeguarding against physical damage and helping to maintain cell integrity during storage periods between RC sessions.
• Quality Radient Brand — Radient is a recognised manufacturer of quality LiPo batteries trusted across the RC community, delivering consistent performance and reliability that makes these batteries a sensible choice for serious RC enthusiasts.

Technical Performance

This Radient LiPo battery represents a significant leap in power delivery compared to older NiMH battery technology that dominated RC applications years ago. The LiPo chemistry provides superior energy density, meaning you get more usable power from a lighter package—a fundamental advantage that translates directly into faster acceleration, higher top speeds, and extended runtime compared to equivalent capacity NiMH cells. The 2700mAh capacity falls into the sweet spot for many RC applications: substantial enough to provide meaningful runtime during RC sessions, yet compact enough to maintain a low centre of gravity and manageable vehicle weight. The 30C discharge rating is particularly significant—it means this battery can sustain 81 amps of continuous current output, making it suitable for high-performance brushless setups, aggressive driving styles, and applications where instant power delivery is non-negotiable. Modern brushless ESCs with ratings up to 150A or more can safely utilise this battery's capabilities, though integration with lower-current ESCs will also work perfectly well, simply operating at less than maximum discharge potential. The engineering behind LiPo cell construction—with its multi-layer internal cell design, optimised electrolyte formulation, and sophisticated cell balancing—ensures consistent voltage delivery throughout the discharge cycle, maintaining your RC model's performance from the moment you hit the throttle until the battery reaches its safe minimum voltage threshold. The soft case construction protects the cells from physical compression damage during storage and transportation, whilst allowing adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup during charging cycles. For RC applications requiring a ready-to-run power solution with proven reliability, this battery delivers excellent value and performance credentials backed by the Radient brand's reputation across the RC community worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient 2700mAh LiPo suitable for RC beginners? — Yes, this battery is recommended for users aged 14 and above and works excellently for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. However, beginners should ensure they have a proper LiPo charger (not included) and understand safe LiPo handling practices before operation. The 30C discharge rating provides responsive performance that makes RC driving engaging, whilst the compact size and lightweight construction make it a practical choice for learning on popular entry-level RC models.
• What RC models use a 2S 7.4V LiPo with Deans connector? — Many popular RC vehicles accept this battery specification. Any RC model with a standard 2S LiPo battery bay measuring approximately 137 x 43 x 12mm and equipped with a Deans (HCT) connector will be compatible. This includes numerous RC cars, RC trucks, RC buggies, and specialist RC platforms from manufacturers offering brushless-ready or brushless-equipped models. Check your specific RC model's manual or specifications to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
• How long does this battery last per charge? — Runtime depends on your specific RC model, driving style, and motor/ESC setup. Typical runtime ranges from 15 to 25 minutes of active driving, though lighter models with smaller motors may achieve longer runtimes, whilst high-performance brushless setups may experience shorter runtime due to higher power draw. The 2700mAh capacity provides substantial energy for meaningful RC sessions.
• What charger do I need for this battery? — You will need a dedicated LiPo charger capable of charging 2S (7.4V) batteries. The charger must support the Deans (HCT) connector type, though many modern chargers include multiple connector adapters. Do not attempt to charge this battery with older NiMH-only chargers, as LiPo cells require specific charging protocols to ensure safety and optimal lifespan. RC Model Shop stocks quality LiPo chargers suitable for this battery.
• Is the 30C discharge rating good for my RC model? — The 30C rating is excellent for most RC applications. It provides substantial continuous discharge capability (81 amps maximum), making this battery suitable for brushless-equipped vehicles, high-performance driving, and applications demanding responsive power delivery. Even if your RC model's ESC has a lower current rating, this battery will perform safely and effectively—the 30C rating simply means you have additional power available if needed.
• How should I store this battery when not in use? — Store your Radient LiPo in the included soft protective case in a cool, dry location. Ideally, store LiPo batteries at approximately 3.85V per cell (7.7V total for a 2S pack) using a proper LiPo storage charger, though storage at nominal voltage (7.4V) is also acceptable for shorter periods. Never store LiPo batteries in extreme temperatures or in fully charged or fully discharged states for extended periods.
• What is the difference between a 30C and a higher C-rating battery? — The C-rating indicates maximum continuous discharge capability. A 30C battery (2.7Ah × 30C = 81 amps) provides substantial performance, whilst higher C-rated batteries (such as 50C or 100C) can deliver significantly more current. For most RC applications, a 30C rating provides more than adequate performance. Higher C-ratings are typically only necessary for extreme performance applications, racing competitions, or large brushless motors designed for maximum power output.
