Key Features

• 7.4V Nominal Voltage (2S LiPo Configuration) — This battery operates at 7.4 volts nominal using a two-cell series configuration, which is the standard voltage specification for many small to medium-sized RC vehicles and provides the optimal balance between performance and compatibility with a wide range of electric speed controllers and motors found in RC car UK hobbyist setups.
• 360mAh Capacity — With 360mAh of stored energy, this battery falls comfortably within the 250-499mAh capacity range and is optimally suited for smaller RC models, lightweight crawlers, and compact electric vehicles where space and weight are critical factors, allowing for extended run times without excessive bulk.
• LiPo Chemistry — Lithium Polymer technology delivers significantly better power delivery, weight efficiency and energy density compared to older nickel-based battery systems, making it the preferred choice for any modern electric RC application including ready to run RC models and custom builds.
• Compact and Lightweight Design — The relatively small physical footprint of a 360mAh two-cell pack means it can fit into tight spaces within your RC vehicle's battery compartment, helping to optimise weight distribution and maintain the handling characteristics that make your model perform at its best.
• FTX Brand Reliability — FTX is a trusted name in the RC hobby, manufacturing components that balance affordability with quality and durability, ensuring that this battery will deliver consistent performance across multiple charge cycles.
• Standard Connector Compatibility — This battery is designed to work seamlessly with FTX RC models and other vehicles equipped with compatible connector systems, making it straightforward to integrate into your existing RC setup.

Technical Performance

The FTX Utah 7.4V 360mAh LiPo Battery represents a well-engineered power solution for electric RC applications. Operating at a nominal 7.4 volts across its two-cell series arrangement, this battery delivers the voltage specification required by small to medium-scale RC vehicles, compact drones, and specialist crawlers. The 360mAh capacity provides a practical balance between runtime and overall weight, ensuring that your RC model remains nimble and responsive whilst still benefiting from reasonable session duration. LiPo batteries like this one are engineered to provide high discharge rates, which means they can deliver the sudden bursts of power needed for acceleration, climbing steep terrain, or rapid directional changes — essential characteristics for any demanding RC environment. The battery's compact form factor makes it particularly valuable for applications where space is limited or where weight savings can meaningfully improve performance. FTX has designed this battery to integrate seamlessly with their extensive range of RC models, from utility crawlers to small-scale buggies and beyond. When properly cared for — including regular balancing and storage at appropriate voltage levels — LiPo batteries of this specification typically deliver hundreds of charge cycles, making them a cost-effective long-term investment in your RC hobby. The 7.4V specification ensures broad compatibility across a wide range of electric speed controllers and brushed or brushless motors commonly found in ready to run RC cars and custom RC builds throughout the UK market.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does 7.4V 2S LiPo mean and is this battery compatible with my RC model? — The 7.4V specification indicates a two-cell (2S) LiPo configuration, where two lithium polymer cells are connected in series to produce 7.4 volts nominal voltage. This is a standard voltage for small to medium RC vehicles. Before purchasing, check your vehicle's battery specification to confirm it requires a 7.4V 2S battery. Many FTX models, smaller crawler platforms, and compact electric RC cars use this voltage standard, making it a versatile choice for UK RC enthusiasts.
• Is 360mAh enough battery capacity for a good run time? — The 360mAh capacity is adequate for smaller RC models and will typically provide 15-30 minutes of running time depending on your vehicle's motor, speed controller, and driving style. If you're operating a more demanding RC model or expecting longer uninterrupted sessions, you may prefer a higher-capacity battery, but this 360mAh pack is ideal for quick practice runs, testing, or as a lightweight spare for dedicated crawling or technical driving. Consider keeping multiple batteries on charge to maintain continuous operation throughout an RC session.
• What charger do I need to charge this FTX Utah battery? — You'll need a LiPo-compatible charger capable of charging at the correct voltage (7.4V nominal, or up to 8.4V when fully charged) and current rating suitable for 360mAh capacity. Many RC retailers, including RC Model Shop, stock dedicated LiPo chargers in various price ranges. A balance charger is strongly recommended to ensure even charge distribution across both cells and to extend battery lifespan significantly.
• How do I store this battery safely? — LiPo batteries should always be stored at safe voltage levels (around 3.7V per cell, or 7.4V total for a 2S pack) in a cool, dry location, ideally in a specialist LiPo storage bag. Never store fully charged or fully discharged. Avoid storing near heat sources or in direct sunlight. Proper storage practices extend battery life and reduce fire risk. Always check your battery regularly for signs of swelling, damage, or corrosion before use.
• Can I use this battery in different RC models or is it model-specific? — Whilst this battery is manufactured by FTX and optimised for FTX RC models, it will work with any compatible RC vehicle that requires a 7.4V 2S LiPo battery with the appropriate connector type. However, always verify your vehicle's battery requirements before purchasing. Using the wrong voltage or connector could damage your electronics, so careful compatibility checking is essential before deploying this battery in a different model.
• What is the difference between this 360mAh battery and larger capacity options? — Larger capacity batteries (such as 600mAh or higher) will provide longer run times but add weight and take up more space in your RC vehicle's battery compartment. The 360mAh capacity is ideal if you value lightweight performance, quick acceleration, and nimble handling. For extended session play without changing batteries, you might prefer a higher-capacity option, but this battery excels in applications where compact size and minimal weight are priorities.
