Key Features

• Hardcase Protection — The durable hardcase exterior safeguards your battery during transport, storage, and daily use, protecting the cells from physical damage and extending the lifespan of your investment compared to softer battery cases.
• 5000mAh Capacity — This substantial capacity provides extended runtime for your RC car, allowing you to complete multiple heats or longer bashing sessions without needing to swap batteries as frequently, maximising your track or field time.
• 60C Discharge Rating — The 60C continuous discharge rate ensures your battery can deliver sustained high current output, making it suitable for aggressive acceleration, high-speed cornering, and powerful brushless motor setups on your RC vehicle.
• 2S 7.4V Configuration — The two-cell series voltage is the standard for most modern 1/10, 1/8, and 1/7 scale RC cars, offering the optimal balance between power output and vehicle compatibility without requiring special charging or balancing considerations beyond basic LiPo battery care.
• T-Type Connector — The T-Type connector (also known as T-plug or Deans connector) provides a secure, low-resistance connection to your RC car's ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), minimising voltage drop during high-current draws and ensuring reliable power transfer throughout your driving session.
• Low Internal Resistance (Low IR) — Gens Ace's advanced cell chemistry delivers low internal resistance, which means your battery maintains stable voltage output right through to the end of your mission, providing consistent throttle response and motor performance lap after lap.
• Compact Dimensions — At 138mm length, 46mm width, and 25mm height, this battery is designed to fit securely in standard battery trays found on most mid-sized and large-scale RC cars without requiring custom modifications or mounting solutions.
• Lightweight at 249g — The efficient weight-to-capacity ratio means you're not adding excessive unsprung mass to your chassis, helping maintain vehicle handling characteristics and battery life through consistent energy distribution.
• ISO9001 and ISO14001 Certified — Manufactured to international quality and environmental standards, every Gens Ace battery is built using rigorous quality control processes, ensuring consistent performance and safety across every unit you purchase.

Technical Performance

The Gens Ace G-Tech Hard Case 2S battery represents the culmination of Gens Ace's extensive experience manufacturing high-performance energy storage solutions for RC applications. The 5000mAh capacity at 7.4V (2S) configuration is specifically engineered to deliver the ideal balance of power delivery and weight for mid-sized RC cars, particularly those equipped with brushless motor and ESC combinations rated for 2S LiPo batteries. The 60C discharge rating means this battery can safely deliver 300 amps of continuous current (5000mAh × 60C ÷ 1000 = 300A), making it suitable for high-torque brushless motors spinning at speeds between 10,000 and 30,000 RPM depending on your specific vehicle setup. The advanced cell chemistry employed by Gens Ace ensures that this high discharge capability doesn't compromise cycle life or charging safety. The hardcase construction uses reinforced plastic polymer that protects the lithium cells within from compression damage, punctures, and the inevitable bumps that occur during transport to local RC tracks or bash spots. The low internal resistance specification means voltage sag (the voltage drop under load) remains minimal even during peak acceleration or climbing steep terrain, translating to responsive throttle feel and consistent motor performance. The battery employs a JST-XHR-5P balance connector, which allows you to monitor individual cell voltage during charging to ensure both cells are perfectly balanced, a critical factor in extending overall battery lifespan and maintaining safe operating parameters. Gens Ace's engineering team has specifically optimised energy density for RC car applications, meaning you get maximum capacity in a package that fits standard battery trays without requiring extended tray modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Gens Ace G-Tech 2S 5000mAh battery suitable for beginners? — Yes, this battery is suitable for beginners who already have an RC car with a compatible ESC and motor. The 2S LiPo format is the most common in the RC car hobby, and the hardcase provides protection that beginners appreciate. However, beginners should understand basic LiPo battery safety, charging procedures, and storage requirements before use. We recommend consulting your car's manual to confirm 2S LiPo compatibility.
• What RC cars is this battery compatible with? — This battery is designed for 1/10, 1/8, and 1/7 scale RC cars equipped with a 2S LiPo-compatible ESC and motor. The T-Type connector is standard on most mid-range and high-end RC cars. Check your vehicle's manual to confirm it accepts 2S LiPo batteries and features a T-Type connector before purchasing.
• How long will this battery last per charge? — Runtime depends entirely on your specific vehicle, driving style, motor size, and gear ratio. Typically, expect 15-30 minutes of continuous high-speed running, or longer during casual bashing with throttle modulation. The 5000mAh capacity is substantial enough for multiple track heats or extended backyard sessions.
• What charger do I need for this battery? — You need a LiPo-capable battery charger that supports 2S charging. The battery features a JST-XHR-5P balance connector, so your charger should have a matching balance connector port. Most modern RC battery chargers from brands like Spektrum, Hobbywing, and Graupner support this standard. The charger should be capable of at least 1-2A charging current.
• Does this come with a charger? — No, this battery pack does not include a charger. You will need to purchase a compatible LiPo battery charger separately. Many RC car retailers offer chargers specifically designed for 2S LiPo batteries at various price points depending on features.
• What is the difference between 60C and higher C-ratings? — The C-rating indicates maximum safe discharge current. A 60C battery can discharge at 60 times its capacity per hour (5000mAh × 60 = 300A max). Higher C-ratings allow more current draw but are typically heavier and more expensive. For most 1/10 scale cars, 60C is more than adequate; higher ratings are mainly beneficial for competitive racing or vehicles with extremely high-torque motor setups.
• How should I store this battery? — LiPo batteries should be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) in a fireproof container or LiPo bag, ideally at around 50% state of charge. Store away from metal objects and moisture. Never store a fully charged or completely discharged LiPo battery for extended periods, as this stresses the cells. Check on your battery monthly during long storage periods.
• Is the hardcase necessary? — The hardcase provides significant protection during transport and storage, reduces damage risk if the battery is crushed or punctured, and makes it easier to identify your battery among multiple packs at the track. We recommend the hardcase, especially if you're transporting multiple batteries or driving in rough terrain.
• What makes Gens Ace batteries different from other brands? — Gens Ace specialises exclusively in energy storage for RC and UAV applications, with over a decade of development experience. Every battery is ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified, ensuring consistent quality and safety standards. Gens Ace's unique low-IR cell chemistry provides stable voltage delivery right to the end of your mission, and the company's engineering team optimises energy density specifically for each RC vehicle category.
