Key Features

• LiFe Chemistry (Lithium Iron Phosphate) — LiFe cells deliver superior safety characteristics compared to standard lithium polymer batteries, with inherent thermal stability and resistance to thermal runaway, giving you peace of mind during extended flight sessions or race events without compromise to performance.
• 6.6V Nominal Voltage (2-Cell Configuration) — The 2-cell LiFe pack provides exactly 6.6V nominal output, perfectly matched to Futaba and Hitec receiver specifications, eliminating voltage regulation issues and ensuring your receiver electronics operate within their optimal voltage envelope for maximum efficiency and equipment longevity.
• 3000mAh Capacity — The substantial 3000mAh capacity ensures extended flight times or operation duration without the need for frequent battery changes, meaning more time enjoying your RC hobby and less time waiting for charging cycles to complete between sessions.
• 30C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 30C rating means this pack can safely deliver 90 amps of continuous current (30 times its 3000mAh capacity), providing responsive power delivery for servos, receiver systems and auxiliary equipment whilst maintaining safe operating temperatures and battery longevity.
• Ultra-Slim 12mm Profile — The exceptionally compact 12mm height makes this receiver pack perfect for tight installations where space is critical, such as scale aircraft fuselages, helicopter frames, or confined receiver compartments where traditional thicker battery packs simply won't fit.
• XT60 Main Connector with Futaba/Hitec RX Compatibility — The XT60 connector provides a robust, gold-plated connection point for main power whilst the integrated Futaba/Hitec receiver connector eliminates the need for separate adapter harnesses, simplifying your wiring loom and reducing potential failure points in your RC system.
• Lightweight Construction — Weighing just 168 grams, this receiver pack minimises added weight to your RC aircraft or vehicle, preserving your power-to-weight ratio and ensuring optimised performance characteristics that heavier battery alternatives cannot match.
• Compact Dimensions for Easy Installation — At 140mm length, 46mm width and 12mm height, this battery fits perfectly into receiver bays and equipment compartments on a wide range of RC models, from park flyers to scale helicopters, without requiring structural modifications to your RC platform.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiFe 2S 6.6V 3000mAh 30C XT60 Futaba/Hitec (Rx) battery represents an engineering solution specifically tailored for demanding RC applications requiring reliable, regulated receiver power. The LiFe chemistry employed in this pack offers fundamental advantages over traditional NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) receiver batteries that have dominated the RC hobby for decades. LiFe cells maintain more consistent voltage output throughout the discharge cycle compared to NiMH technology, meaning your receiver, servos and gyroscopes operate at optimal voltage conditions from full charge through to the final discharge cycle. This voltage stability directly translates to more responsive servo operation, better receiver sensitivity, and more predictable handling characteristics in your RC aircraft or vehicle. The 30C discharge rating is more than adequate for typical receiver applications, delivering crisp servo response without the concern of voltage sag that can plague underpowered battery packs during heavy servo loading. The exceptional cycle life of LiFe chemistry—typically 1000+ charge cycles compared to 300-500 cycles for quality NiMH packs—means your initial investment in this Radient battery will be amortised across years of reliable operation, making it a genuinely cost-effective choice for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK and internationally. The compact 12mm profile represents state-of-the-art battery engineering, achieved through optimised cell arrangement and housing design without any compromise to structural integrity or safety margins.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient LiFe 2S 6.6V 3000mAh 30C battery suitable for my Futaba or Hitec receiver system? — Yes, this battery pack is specifically engineered for Futaba and Hitec receiver systems, featuring a dedicated RX connector that matches their receiver specifications perfectly. The 6.6V nominal voltage is the industry standard for 2-cell LiFe receiver packs and is completely compatible with all modern Futaba and Hitec receivers without any voltage regulation concerns.
• How does LiFe chemistry compare to traditional NiMH receiver batteries? — LiFe (Lithium Iron Phosphate) offers significant advantages over NiMH technology including superior voltage stability throughout the discharge cycle, meaning more consistent servo response and receiver performance from full charge to depletion. LiFe packs also deliver approximately three times the cycle life of equivalent NiMH batteries, making them far more cost-effective for serious hobbyists. Additionally, LiFe chemistry is inherently safer than standard lithium polymer technology, offering excellent thermal stability and resistance to damage from over-discharge.
• What does the 30C discharge rating mean for my RC applications? — The 30C rating indicates this battery can safely deliver 30 times its capacity in amps continuously, which translates to 90 amps maximum continuous discharge from this 3000mAh pack. For typical receiver applications with multiple servos, this rating provides more than adequate power delivery to ensure responsive servo operation without voltage sag, even during aggressive manoeuvres that demand rapid servo movements and high current draw.
• Will the 12mm profile fit in my RC aircraft or vehicle? — The exceptionally slim 12mm height makes this battery pack suitable for extremely tight installations where conventional receiver batteries won't fit. If your RC model has space constraints in the receiver battery compartment—common in scale aircraft, helicopter frames, or compact fuselage designs—this battery's compact profile makes it an ideal solution. The 140mm length and 46mm width are also notably compact, though you should verify these dimensions against your specific model's battery cavity before purchase.
• How long will this battery last on a single charge? — Runtime depends entirely on your RC system's power consumption, which varies based on servo quantity, servo type, receiver features and how actively you're using servos during operation. A typical RC aircraft or helicopter with three to four servos might achieve 45 minutes to over an hour of flight time per charge, though this varies considerably. The generous 3000mAh capacity ensures extended operation compared to smaller capacity receiver packs.
• Is the XT60 connector standard on RC batteries? — The XT60 is a widely recognised high-current connector standard used extensively in RC applications, offering robust gold-plated contacts that provide reliable power transfer with minimal voltage drop. Combined with the dedicated Futaba/Hitec RX connector, this battery requires no adapter cables, ensuring a clean, reliable installation.
