Key Features

• 2S LiPo Chemistry with 7.4V Nominal Voltage — The 2-cell configuration delivers 7.4 volts of nominal power, making this battery suitable for a wide range of electric RC vehicles, small electric RC planes, and battery-powered RC equipment that specifically requires a 2S power source. This voltage rating is standard across many compact RC platforms.
• 3000mAh Capacity for Extended Runtime — With 3000 milliamp-hours of stored energy, this battery provides adequate flight time or running time for most small to medium-sized RC applications, balancing between weight and usable power duration without excessive bulk.
• 30C Discharge Rating for Responsive Power Delivery — The 30C rating means this pack can safely discharge at 90 amps continuous current (calculated as 3000mAh × 30 = 90A), providing snappy throttle response and sufficient power for dynamic flight manoeuvres or spirited driving without voltage sag that would compromise performance.
• XT60 Connector for Universal Compatibility — The XT60 connector is the industry-standard connection for LiPo batteries in the RC hobby, ensuring this pack works seamlessly with the vast majority of ready to run RC models, ESCs, and battery chargers available in the UK RC market without requiring adapters.
• Ultra-Slim 14mm Profile for Tight Installations — At just 14 millimetres in height, this battery fits into confined spaces where standard thicker packs simply won't fit, making it perfect for scale RC vehicles, sleek fuselage designs, or any application prioritising compact packaging and weight distribution.
• Soft Case Protection for Safety and Durability — The battery is housed in a soft protective case that guards against physical damage during transport, storage, and use while remaining flexible and lightweight, eliminating the need for additional protective housing or cases.
• Compact Dimensions and Lightweight Construction — Measuring 135mm in length, 43mm in width, and 14mm in height, with a total weight of just 165 grams, this battery is engineered for RC applications where every gram counts and space is at a premium, such as lightweight RC buggies or speed-focused RC platforms.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 2S 3000mAh 7.4V 30C battery pack represents solid engineering for hobbyists seeking reliable power without excessive weight or bulk. The 30C continuous discharge capability translates to a maximum continuous current output of 90 amps, which is more than adequate for most small electric RC cars UK, RC helicopters, and compact RC quadcopters. The 2S configuration (two cells in series) provides the standard 7.4 volts nominal voltage that powers countless electric RC platforms, from entry-level ready to run RC models through to more specialised hobby-grade equipment. The battery's energy density is optimised through Radient's LiPo cell chemistry, ensuring that the 3000mAh capacity translates to practical runtime on your RC vehicle or aircraft without suffering from the dramatic voltage sag that characterises cheaper, lower-rated packs. The XT60 connector utilises gold-plated contacts that provide excellent conductivity and resist corrosion, ensuring reliable power delivery throughout the battery's lifespan. At 165 grams fully charged, this battery adds minimal weight penalty, critical for maintaining the centre of gravity and performance characteristics of precision RC models. The soft case construction is flame-retardant and provides basic puncture resistance, protecting against field damage whilst remaining flexible enough to fit into compact battery bays. For users operating RC equipment in the UK where weather can be unpredictable, proper storage of LiPo batteries in a cool, dry location extends their operational life significantly. The 30C rating provides sufficient headroom for most recreational flying or driving without pushing the battery to its absolute limits, thereby maximising cycle life and safety margins.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC vehicles and equipment can I use this Radient 2S 3000mAh LiPo battery with? — This 2S 7.4V battery is compatible with any RC equipment designed for 2S LiPo power, including many small electric RC cars, RC buggies, RC crawlers, lightweight RC aeroplanes, RC helicopters, and RC quadcopters. The XT60 connector is standard across most RC equipment in the UK market. Always verify your RC device's battery specifications before connecting; exceeding the voltage rating can damage electronics, whilst using an underpowered battery may result in poor performance.
• Is the Radient LiPo 2S 3000mAh 7.4V 30C suitable for beginners to RC hobbies? — Yes, this battery is appropriate for beginners aged 14 and above who have already completed basic RC safety training. However, LiPo batteries do require responsible handling, including proper charging with a compatible LiPo charger, safe storage away from heat and moisture, and monitoring during charging. Always charge LiPo batteries in a fireproof LiPo charging bag as a safety precaution, and never leave them unattended whilst charging.
• How long does this battery take to charge, and what charger do I need? — Charge time depends on your charger's output rating and can range from 45 minutes to several hours. You will need a dedicated LiPo battery charger capable of balancing 2S packs; the XT60 connector connects to the charger's output, whilst a separate 2S balance connector (if available on your charger) allows cell-by-cell voltage monitoring during charging. Standard hobby LiPo chargers widely available in the UK RC market are compatible with this pack.
• What does the 30C rating mean, and how does it affect performance? — The 30C rating indicates the maximum safe continuous discharge rate, calculated by multiplying capacity by the C-rating: 3000mAh × 30 = 90 amps maximum continuous current. This generous rating ensures the battery can supply sufficient current for dynamic RC performance without excessive voltage sag, which would reduce speed and responsiveness. Most recreational RC users will never approach this limit, making this a safe, well-headroomed battery choice.
• How do I store this LiPo battery safely for extended periods? — Store the Radient 2S battery in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Ideally, charge the battery to approximately 50 per cent capacity (approximately 3.85V per cell or 7.7V total) before long-term storage, as storing at full charge accelerates degradation. Store the pack in the soft protective case provided, and consider using a fireproof LiPo storage bag for additional safety.
• Will this battery work with my existing RC equipment, and will I need adapters? — The XT60 connector is the standard for RC equipment in the UK hobby market. If your equipment uses XT60 connectors, this battery will connect directly without adapters. If your RC vehicle uses a different connector type (such as Tamiya, Deans, or Traxxas connectors), you will need to purchase appropriate XT60 adapter cables separately, available at most RC retailers including RC Model Shop.
