Key Features
- 2S LiPo Chemistry (7.4V nominal voltage) — This dual-cell lithium polymer configuration provides a standard voltage output across a massive range of RC applications, from brushless motor systems to onboard electronics, making it compatible with most modern RC vehicles designed for 2S power systems.
- 3250mAh Capacity — The 3250 milliamp-hour capacity means you get a solid runtime per charge, allowing you to enjoy extended play sessions before needing to recharge, which is particularly valuable when you're out at an RC track or field in the UK.
- 30C Continuous Discharge Rating — This discharge rating indicates the battery can safely and continuously deliver current at a rate of 30 times its capacity (97.5 amps peak), providing responsive, punchy power delivery for high-performance RC applications whilst maintaining voltage stability under load.
- XT60 Connector — The industry-standard XT60 connector ensures broad compatibility with popular RC ESCs, chargers and electronics, making this battery a versatile addition to your RC power system without requiring connector adapters or modifications.
- Ultra-Slim 14mm Profile — The exceptionally thin 14mm height allows this battery to fit into tight battery compartments that reject thicker packs, giving you design flexibility when choosing or modifying RC vehicles, particularly in compact models where space is precious.
- Lightweight at 184 Grams — The relatively low weight means battery installation won't significantly affect your model's weight distribution or handling characteristics, which is especially important in racing and performance-oriented RC applications where every gram counts.
- Protective Soft Case Design — The soft case construction guards the battery cells from minor physical damage during transport and storage, prolonging the lifespan of your battery investment and maintaining reliable performance over multiple charge cycles.
- Compact Dimensions (137 x 43 x 14mm) — The rectangular form factor with defined length, width and height measurements makes it easy to assess whether this battery will physically fit your RC model before purchasing, eliminating compatibility guesswork.
Technical Performance
The Radient LiPo 2S 3250mAh 7.4V 30C battery represents a well-engineered balance between capacity, discharge rate and physical form factor. At nominal 7.4V (ranging from 8.4V when fully charged to 6.0V when depleted), this 2S pack sits at the foundation of RC power delivery, providing a standard voltage across countless RC vehicles, brushless ESCs and electronic systems designed for 2S operation. The 30C continuous discharge rating translates to a maximum sustainable current output of 97.5 amps, which is suitable for mid-range brushless RC motors and ESC systems commonly found in ready to run RC cars and trucks throughout the UK hobby market. The 3250mAh capacity, whilst not enormous, provides reasonable runtime for casual to moderate use, with actual flight or run time depending on your vehicle's power draw characteristics, motor efficiency and throttle management. The soft case construction uses durable material designed to withstand the minor impacts and abrasions that occur during transport and field use, though like all lithium polymer batteries, this pack requires responsible handling, proper LiPo-safe charging practices and storage in a cool, dry environment. The XT60 connector is a goldstandard in the RC hobby, featuring robust construction with good electrical contact and easy plug-and-play connection. At 184 grams total weight, this battery adds minimal mass to your model, important for preserving the intended weight distribution and handling balance of RC vehicles from small-scale on-road racers to off-road buggies and trucks. The compact rectangular profile with a maximum 14mm height makes this pack exceptionally suitable for models with restrictive battery compartments, including low-profile racing chassis and compact ready to run RC vehicles where conventional thicker battery packs simply won't fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Radient 2S 3250mAh LiPo suitable for RC car UK applications? — Yes, absolutely. This battery is widely compatible with ready to run RC cars designed for 2S LiPo power, including many popular brushless systems. Always verify your specific RC car model requires 7.4V and features an XT60 connector before purchasing to ensure compatibility. The slim 14mm profile makes it particularly useful for compact models where space is limited.
- What is the difference between 30C and higher discharge ratings on LiPo batteries? — The C-rating indicates how many times the battery's capacity can be safely discharged continuously. A 30C battery can deliver 30 times its capacity in amps, making it suitable for mid-range performance RC vehicles. Higher C-rated batteries allow even greater sustained power delivery, useful for high-performance racing, whilst lower C-rated batteries are more suitable for casual, lower-power applications. The 30C rating on this Radient pack makes it a solid all-rounder for most RC hobbies.
- How long will the Radient 2S 3250mAh battery last per charge? — Runtime depends on several factors including your vehicle's motor power, ESC efficiency, driving style and terrain. As a general guide, a 3250mAh battery will typically provide 15-45 minutes of continuous use, though actual runtime varies significantly. Casual driving with throttle management yields longer runtimes, whilst high-performance racing and aggressive throttle use depletes the battery faster.
- What charger do I need for this LiPo battery? — You need a LiPo-compatible charger with 2S balance charging capability. The charger must feature an XT60 connector input or an adapter to convert from your charger's native connector type. Many chargers available at RC Model Shop support 2S batteries, and our knowledgeable team can help you select an appropriate charger for your needs.
- Is this battery suitable for beginners? — LiPo batteries require responsible handling and proper charging practices compared to older NiMH technology. This battery is suitable for users aged 14 and above who understand LiPo safety requirements including never overcharging, avoiding physical damage, proper storage in cool environments and use of recommended chargers. Beginners should familiarise themselves with LiPo best practices before use, making it important to seek advice from experienced RC enthusiasts or RC Model Shop's knowledgeable staff.
- What does the XT60 connector mean? — The XT60 is an industry-standard battery connector widely used across RC hobby equipment. It features robust construction, good electrical contacts and intuitive plug-and-play operation. The vast majority of modern brushless RC ESCs and chargers use XT60 connectors, making this battery highly compatible across the RC ecosystem. However, always verify your vehicle's connector type before purchasing to prevent compatibility issues.
- Can I use this battery in different RC vehicles? — Yes, provided each vehicle is compatible with 2S 7.4V batteries and features an XT60 connector. You can move this battery between different RC cars, trucks, buggies and similar vehicles, making it a versatile power solution for multi-vehicle RC enthusiasts. However, always check individual model specifications to confirm voltage and connector compatibility before use.
- How should I store this LiPo battery? — Store the Radient battery in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Store at around 3.8V per cell (7.6V total for a 2S battery) for long-term storage. Use a dedicated LiPo storage and safety bag to contain any potential incidents. Never store batteries in hot vehicles, damp environments or locations exposed to physical damage, as these conditions degrade battery lifespan and create safety risks.
