Key Features

• 7.4V Output Voltage — This two-cell configuration delivers a nominal 7.4 volts, which is perfectly calibrated for the power requirements of compact RC vehicles including drift cars, speedboats and other FTX mini power pack applications, ensuring optimal performance without risk of over-voltage damage to onboard electronics.
• 1500mAh Capacity — The 1500 milliamp-hour capacity provides sufficient energy for extended running sessions whilst maintaining a compact size that keeps overall vehicle weight manageable, which is critical for performance in drift racing and high-speed boating applications where weight directly impacts handling characteristics.
• Li-Ion Battery Chemistry — Lithium-ion technology delivers superior energy density compared to older nickel-metal hydride systems, meaning you get more power from a lighter, more compact package that won't weigh down your RC model during competition or casual bashing.
• Deans Connector Type — The industry-standard Deans connector ensures reliable power delivery and secure connection to compatible speed controllers and power distribution boards, with excellent conductivity that minimises voltage drop even under high current demands.
• Universal FTX Compatibility — This battery is specifically engineered to work seamlessly with multiple FTX models including the Glader Turbojet speedboat range and the entire Havok drift lineup, providing a single reliable power solution across your FTX fleet.
• Compact Mini Power Pack Format — Designed as a mini power pack, this battery balances capacity with portability, allowing you to carry spare batteries to the track or field without adding excessive weight to your RC kit, whilst delivering the power needed for competitive sessions.
• Professional Grade Build Quality — FTX batteries undergo rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance, reliable voltage delivery across the discharge cycle, and long service life, meeting the standards expected by serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability.

Technical Performance

The FTX Havok / Glader 7.4V 1500mAh Battery represents a carefully engineered power solution optimised for the specific power requirements of compact FTX RC vehicles. With a nominal voltage of 7.4V across two series-connected lithium-ion cells, this battery delivers the precise voltage curve required by the speed controllers and electronic systems integrated into FTX drift cars, speedboats and other mini-scale models. The 1500mAh capacity has been selected to provide meaningful runtime—typically offering 15-25 minutes of active driving or boating depending on throttle usage and vehicle load—whilst maintaining a form factor compact enough not to compromise vehicle weight distribution or handling characteristics. The lithium-ion chemistry ensures consistent voltage delivery throughout the discharge cycle, meaning your vehicle maintains peak performance even as the battery approaches the end of its charge, unlike older battery chemistries that experience gradual voltage sag. The Deans connector provides industry-standard connectivity with minimal voltage drop, ensuring almost all available energy reaches your speed controller rather than being lost to connector resistance. This battery is protected by FTX's quality assurance processes and is designed to work reliably with the advanced electronic speed controllers found in modern FTX vehicles, delivering the clean power delivery that these systems require for smooth, precise control during drift racing or high-speed boating. Whether you're running competitive drift sessions where consistent throttle response is critical, or enjoying casual bashing with friends, this battery provides the reliable foundation your FTX model needs to perform at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX models does the FTX10630 battery fit? — This 7.4V 1500mAh battery is specifically designed for the FTX Glader Turbojet speedboat range (available in both red and green variants) and the FTX Havok drift vehicle lineup (including the Havok Drift Roadster and Havok Drift Truck in both yellow and blue colours). It's the original equipment battery for these models and ensures perfect compatibility with their onboard power systems.
• How long will this battery last during use? — With the 1500mAh capacity, you can typically expect 15-25 minutes of active use per charge, depending on driving style, throttle intensity, terrain conditions and vehicle load. Continuous high-throttle use will consume the battery faster than mixed speed driving. We recommend purchasing multiple batteries so you can have one charging whilst another powers your RC model.
• Is this battery suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The FTX Havok and Glader models are designed as ready to run RC vehicles suitable for newcomers to the hobby, and this battery is the standard power pack for those models. As a beginner, you simply need to connect this battery to your vehicle's power system using the pre-installed Deans connector, charge it appropriately, and you're ready to drive. No complex battery management is required.
• What charger do I need for this 7.4V Li-Ion battery? — You'll need a dedicated lithium-ion battery charger capable of handling 2-cell LiPo or Li-Ion packs. We stock a range of suitable chargers at RC Model Shop that will safely charge this battery. Never use chargers designed for older nickel-metal hydride batteries, as they may damage lithium-ion cells. Always use a charger specifically rated for 2S lithium batteries.
• What does the Deans connector do? — The Deans connector is the physical interface between your battery and your vehicle's speed controller. It carries the electrical current from the battery to power your motor and electronics. The Deans style is an industry standard known for low resistance and secure connection, ensuring maximum power delivery and preventing accidental disconnection during operation.
• Can I use this battery in other RC vehicles? — This battery is specifically engineered for FTX Havok and Glader models. Whilst you might technically be able to connect it to other RC vehicles with Deans connectors, we recommend using batteries designed for your specific vehicle's power requirements. The voltage and capacity must match your speed controller and motor specifications for safe operation and optimal performance.
• How should I care for and maintain this lithium-ion battery? — Store your battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid completely discharging it to zero volts—ideally store partially charged batteries at around 50% capacity for long-term storage. Never leave the battery connected to a charger once fully charged, as this can damage lithium cells. Check the connector and battery casing regularly for damage, and never use a battery that appears swollen or damaged.
• What is the difference between this and nickel-metal hydride batteries? — Lithium-ion technology (used in this FTX battery) offers significantly higher energy density than older nickel-metal hydride chemistry, meaning this battery delivers more power and longer runtime in a lighter, more compact package. Li-Ion batteries also deliver more consistent voltage throughout the discharge cycle, maintaining performance even as the battery depletes. However, they require proper chargers and more careful handling than NiMH batteries.
