• 3000mAh Capacity — This substantial capacity provides excellent runtime for 2S LiPo-compatible RC applications, allowing extended driving sessions before requiring a recharge, which is particularly valuable for competitive racing or back-to-back bashing events.
• Compact 13mm Profile — The slim 13mm height is specifically engineered to fit into tight battery compartments found on many popular RC cars and buggies, making installation straightforward without requiring chassis modifications or compromises to your vehicle setup.
• XT60 Connector — The XT60 connector standard is widely recognised across the RC hobby in the UK and internationally, ensuring complete compatibility with the vast majority of ESCs, chargers and RC equipment without needing adapters or modifications.
• Lightweight Design at 165g — The relatively light weight of this battery pack helps maintain optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics in your RC vehicle, preventing the sluggish response that heavier battery packs can sometimes introduce.
• 7.4V Nominal Output — The 2S cell configuration delivering 7.4V is perfect for electric RC motors designed for 2S LiPo power, providing the voltage envelope these motors are engineered to run at for optimal efficiency and lifespan.
• Durable Soft Case Protection — The included soft case provides essential protection during storage and transport, helping prevent physical damage to the battery pack and maintaining the integrity of the XT60 connector.
• Industry-Standard LiPo Chemistry — Lithium polymer construction offers superior energy density compared to older NiMH battery technology, delivering more power in a smaller package whilst supporting the high discharge rates required by modern brushless RC setups.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 2S 3000mAh 7.4V 50C XT60 battery represents a significant step up in RC performance compared to standard battery packs. The 50C discharge rating is particularly important for modern RC applications — this specification indicates the maximum continuous current the battery can safely deliver, calculated by multiplying the capacity by the C-rating (3000mAh × 50C = 150 amps maximum continuous discharge). This substantial discharge capacity means the battery maintains voltage stability and responsiveness even under sustained high-load conditions, eliminating the voltage sag that would cause your RC vehicle's motor to lose power during critical moments in racing or bashing sessions. The 7.4V nominal output is precisely calibrated for brushless motor systems designed to operate on 2S LiPo voltage, ensuring optimal RPM delivery and motor efficiency. The compact dimensions of 137 × 43 × 13mm make this battery suitable for a wide variety of RC vehicle platforms, from small-format buggies to stadium trucks and touring cars, whilst the 165g weight is light enough to maintain nimble handling characteristics without sacrificing the power delivery that modern brushless RC racing demands. The XT60 connector provides robust mechanical connection with lower resistance than some competing connector types, meaning more of your battery's energy reaches your motor rather than being wasted as heat in the connector itself. The soft case supplied with this battery provides essential protection for the delicate cell internals and XT60 connector during storage, transport and use, which is particularly important given that lithium polymer batteries require careful handling to maximise lifespan and maintain safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does the 50C rating mean and why is it important for my RC vehicle? — The 50C discharge rating indicates this battery can safely deliver 150 amps of continuous current (3000mAh × 50 = 150A). This high discharge capability is essential for brushless RC motors which draw significant current during acceleration and high-speed running. A higher C-rating like 50C means your RC car will maintain consistent throttle response and voltage stability during intense driving, whereas lower C-rated batteries would experience voltage sag that makes your vehicle feel sluggish and unresponsive.
• Is the Radient LiPo 2S 3000mAh 7.4V 50C XT60 suitable for beginners? — This battery is recommended for users aged 14 and above. Whilst the battery itself is relatively straightforward to use, lithium polymer batteries require proper handling, storage in a fireproof container, and use with a compatible charger designed for LiPo packs. Beginners should familiarise themselves with basic LiPo safety practices and ensure they have an appropriate LiPo-specific charger before using this battery pack in their RC setup.
• What RC vehicles is this battery compatible with? — This battery is compatible with any RC vehicle or accessory that accepts a 2S (7.4V) LiPo battery pack with an XT60 connector and has sufficient space for the 137 × 43 × 13mm dimensions. This includes many popular RC cars, buggies, trucks and other electric RC platforms, though you should verify your specific vehicle's battery requirements match these specifications before purchase.
• How long will this battery last per charge and what runtime should I expect? — Runtime depends entirely on how you drive your RC vehicle and the power consumption of your specific motor and ESC combination. As a general guide, the 3000mAh capacity provides several minutes of runtime, typically ranging from 10-20 minutes depending on driving style and vehicle efficiency. Racing flat-out will reduce runtime compared to more controlled driving. Multiple battery packs are recommended for extended RC sessions.
• What charger do I need to charge this Radient LiPo battery? — You must use a dedicated LiPo-specific charger that supports 2S battery charging. Standard chargers designed for older NiMH batteries will not safely charge LiPo packs. Most LiPo chargers available in the UK RC market support XT60 connectors directly or through simple adapters. RC Model Shop can advise you on compatible charger options if needed.
• How does the 13mm profile benefit my RC vehicle? — The slim 13mm height is engineered to fit into the tight battery compartments found on many popular RC vehicles without requiring modifications or compromises to your chassis setup. This compact profile also contributes to lower centre of gravity in your RC car, which improves handling and cornering performance compared to taller battery packs.
• What is the difference between this Radient battery and cheaper alternatives? — The Radient LiPo 2S 3000mAh 7.4V 50C represents quality construction and reliable performance. The 50C discharge rating ensures consistent power delivery and voltage stability under load, whilst the compact design and XT60 connector standard provide practical benefits. Cheaper batteries may have lower C-ratings which result in voltage sag, reduced performance, and potentially shorter overall lifespan due to poor quality cells.
• How should I store this LiPo battery between uses? — LiPo batteries should be stored in a cool, dry environment, ideally at around 50% charge state (approximately 3.7V per cell). Store the battery in the supplied soft case or a dedicated LiPo safety bag, away from metal objects and moisture. Never store LiPo batteries in extremely hot environments or near heat sources, as this degrades cell chemistry and increases fire risk.
