Key Features

• 50C Discharge Rating — This specification determines how quickly the battery can safely release its stored energy, measured in multiples of the battery's capacity. A 50C rating means this 3250mAh pack can deliver up to 162.5 amps continuously, providing the high discharge rates needed for acceleration-demanding RC applications without voltage sag or performance loss.
• 2S Lithium Polymer Cell Configuration — The 2S (two-cell series) design delivers 7.4V nominal voltage, which is the standard voltage specification for countless RC vehicles worldwide. This voltage is carefully engineered to provide optimal performance across a broad spectrum of brushless motors, ESCs, and RC servos commonly used in UK RC hobby setups.
• 3250mAh Capacity — This capacity rating indicates the total electrical charge the battery can store. The 3250mAh capacity provides a practical runtime window for recreational and competitive RC driving, balancing extended running time with reasonable battery size and weight considerations.
• XT60 Connector — The industry-standard XT60 connector is recognised worldwide as one of the most reliable and user-friendly battery connectors for RC applications. Its gold-plated contacts ensure excellent electrical conductivity, whilst its robust mechanical design provides a secure connection that resists accidental disconnection during intense driving or racing.
• Compact Physical Dimensions — Measuring just 137mm in length, 43mm in width, and 15mm in height, this battery pack fits within tight battery bays and compartments found on modern RC vehicles. The slim 15mm height is particularly valuable for vehicles where vertical space is limited, allowing optimal weight distribution and improved handling characteristics.
• Lightweight Construction — At only 183 grams, the Radient pack minimises the overall vehicle weight, which directly translates to improved acceleration, faster lap times, and more responsive handling in competitive RC racing scenarios or casual weekend bashings.
• Soft Case Design — The battery is supplied in a protective soft case that guards against physical damage during storage and transport. The soft case also facilitates heat dissipation during discharge, helping maintain optimal battery temperature and longevity during intensive use.
• Age Recommendation 14+ — This battery pack is recommended for users aged 14 and over, reflecting the electrical and chemical safety considerations associated with lithium polymer battery handling and charging.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 2S 3250mAh 7.4V 50C battery pack represents a careful engineering balance between performance capability and practical usability. The 50C discharge rating provides sufficient current capability to power brushless RC motors commonly found in 1/10-scale and smaller RC vehicles, as well as many 1/8-scale applications. The nominal 7.4V output is the industry-standard voltage for two-cell lithium polymer packs and is compatible with the vast majority of brushless ESCs and servo systems used in UK RC hobby setups. The 3250mAh capacity, whilst not the largest available, offers a sensible runtime that suits recreational driving sessions without excessive weight penalties. The physical dimensions and 183-gram mass make this battery particularly suitable for vehicles where weight distribution matters, such as touring cars, buggies, and smaller trucks. The XT60 connector uses gold-plated contacts for superior electrical conductivity compared to inferior alternatives, minimising voltage drop and ensuring maximum power delivery to your RC vehicle's motor and electronics. The soft case construction provides adequate physical protection for storage and transport, and also allows passive cooling during charging and discharge cycles, which extends overall battery lifespan when properly maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a 50C discharge rating and why does it matter for my RC car? — The 50C discharge rating indicates the maximum safe continuous current the battery can deliver. For a 3250mAh battery, this means it can safely supply up to 162.5 amps continuously. This high discharge rating ensures your RC car receives adequate current for powerful acceleration without voltage sag, which would cause reduced top speed and poor throttle response. For most recreational RC cars in the UK, a 50C rating provides excellent headroom for responsive performance.
• Is the Radient LiPo 2S 3250mAh 7.4V 50C XT60 suitable for beginners? — Yes, this battery pack is suitable for beginners aged 14 and over. The 2S voltage and 50C rating are standard specifications found on many beginner-friendly RC vehicles, and the XT60 connector is user-friendly and widely used. However, beginners should always follow proper lithium polymer battery safety procedures, including using a dedicated LiPo charger, never leaving batteries unattended whilst charging, and storing batteries in a fireproof container when not in use.
• What types of RC vehicles can I use this battery in? — The 7.4V 2S voltage and 50C rating make this battery compatible with most 1/10-scale RC cars, buggies, and trucks, as well as many 1/8-scale vehicles. The XT60 connector is standard across countless RC vehicle brands and aftermarket batteries. Before purchasing, verify that your specific RC vehicle accepts 2S LiPo batteries and uses an XT60 connector or has compatible connector adapters available.
• How long will this battery last between charges? — Runtime depends on your RC vehicle's power consumption, which varies based on motor type, ESC efficiency, driving style, and terrain. As a general guide, you can expect 15-25 minutes of moderate recreational driving, though competitive driving at full throttle will reduce runtime to 10-15 minutes. For extended running sessions, consider purchasing multiple Radient LiPo packs so you can rotate batteries whilst one charges.
• Do I need a special charger for this LiPo battery? — Yes, lithium polymer batteries require a dedicated LiPo charger that monitors individual cell voltage and provides balanced charging. Using incorrect charging equipment can result in battery damage, overcharging, or fire risk. RC Model Shop stocks a range of LiPo chargers suitable for 2S packs, and our team can recommend an appropriate option based on your needs.
• How should I store this battery when not in use? — Store the Radient LiPo pack in a fireproof container, at room temperature, with a charge level of approximately 50-70 percent. Never leave a LiPo battery fully charged for extended periods, and never allow it to fully discharge below 3.0V per cell, as this causes permanent damage. Always inspect batteries visually before use, and discontinue use immediately if you notice swelling, damage, or unusual odours.
