Built with Lithium Polymer chemistry, this 3S (11.1V) battery pack offers a practical balance between power output and usability for a wide range of RC applications. The 50C discharge rating ensures sufficient current delivery for spirited driving sessions, whether you're bashing around the garden, competing at your local RC track, or exploring rough terrain. With its Deans (HCT) main connector, integration into compatible RC models is straightforward, and the soft case design provides basic protection during transport and storage. Recommended for users aged 14 and upwards, this battery represents excellent value for RC hobbyists looking to expand their battery collection or find a reliable power source for their current setups.

Key Features

• 3S LiPo Chemistry (11.1V nominal) — Lithium Polymer technology provides the light weight and high energy density that serious RC enthusiasts demand, delivering responsive power delivery compared to older battery types and offering superior performance in competitive and recreational applications alike.
• 3000mAh Capacity — This capacity provides a practical runtime for most RC applications, balancing flight or run time with weight considerations to keep your RC vehicle nimble and responsive whilst still delivering meaningful session duration.
• 50C Discharge Rating — The 50C rating ensures the battery can safely deliver substantial current to your RC model, supporting spirited acceleration, high-speed runs, and demanding driving styles without voltage sag or performance degradation during intense use.
• Deans (HCT) Main Connector — This universally popular connector type offers secure connections and excellent conductivity, ensuring reliable power transfer to your ESC and minimising connection resistance that could rob you of performance.
• Compact Form Factor — Measuring just 135mm × 44mm × 19mm, this battery fits into tight spaces within RC models, allowing designers and builders to optimise weight distribution and chassis layout without compromising on battery capacity.
• Soft Case Protection — The integrated soft case provides cushioning against impacts during transport and storage, protecting the battery cells from damage whilst remaining flexible enough to fit into constrained battery compartments.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 0.28kg (0.62lbs), this battery minimises overall vehicle weight, contributing to improved acceleration, handling response, and battery runtime efficiency across all driving conditions.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 3S 3000mAh 11.1V 50C battery represents solid engineering focused on delivering dependable performance for RC enthusiasts across the UK. The 50C discharge rating translates to a maximum continuous discharge current of 150 amps (3000mAh × 50C = 150A), making this battery suitable for moderate to spirited driving applications, including RC buggies, RC trucks, and RC cars that demand responsive throttle response and sustained acceleration. The 11.1V nominal voltage of this 3S pack aligns with countless aftermarket motors and electronic speed controllers currently in use across the UK RC hobby, ensuring broad compatibility with both established and newer RC platforms. The LiPo chemistry delivers better power-to-weight ratio than NiMH alternatives, translating into noticeable improvements in acceleration and overall vehicle responsiveness. The Deans (HCT) connector is industry-standard across most modern RC equipment, minimising the need for adapter purchases or modifications. The soft case design, whilst offering basic protection, should be complemented with a hard case battery box if your RC model will be subjected to competitive racing or extreme bashers where impact protection is critical. The compact 135 × 44 × 19mm footprint allows fitment into vehicles originally designed with space constraints in mind, making this an excellent choice for anyone upgrading existing RC models with fresh battery power.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient 3S 3000mAh LiPo battery suitable for beginners in RC hobbies? — Yes, this battery is appropriate for users aged 14 and upwards with basic RC knowledge. However, beginners should understand that LiPo batteries require a compatible LiPo charger and proper storage practices. The 50C rating makes this battery versatile enough for learning whilst still capable enough for more demanding driving once you develop your skills.
• What RC models are compatible with this 3S LiPo battery? — This battery fits any RC model that specifies a 3S (11.1V) LiPo battery with a Deans (HCT) connector and has sufficient space for a pack measuring 135 × 44 × 19mm. This includes many RC buggies, RC trucks, RC cars, and RC basher models currently available in the UK market.
• How long does this battery last per charge? — Runtime depends on your RC model's motor, throttle usage, and driving style. Generally, a 3000mAh battery provides 15-30 minutes of continuous running in moderate-to-aggressive driving conditions, though gentle cruising may extend this considerably.
• Do I need a special charger for this LiPo battery? — Yes, you must use a dedicated LiPo-compatible charger. Standard NiMH chargers will not work and may damage the battery. LiPo chargers are readily available in the UK RC market and balance-charge multiple cells independently.
• What does the 50C rating mean? — The 50C discharge rating indicates the maximum safe discharge rate, calculated by multiplying capacity by the C rating. For this 3000mAh battery, 50C means maximum continuous discharge of 150 amps, suitable for performance-oriented RC applications without voltage sag.
• Can I use two of these batteries in parallel for 6S voltage? — No. These are 3S (11.1V) batteries, so connecting two in series would produce 6S (22.2V). Two in parallel would only increase capacity while maintaining 3S voltage. For 6S voltage, you would need dedicated 6S batteries or proper series battery configuration with appropriate safety measures.
• What is the difference between this and hard case LiPo batteries? — Soft case batteries (like this model) are lighter and more flexible, fitting easily into tight battery compartments. Hard case batteries offer superior physical protection for competitive use or rough handling but add weight and bulk. Choose soft case for space-constrained applications and hard case for high-impact racing scenarios.
