Key Features

• 4200mAh Capacity — This substantial capacity delivers extended runtime for your RC vehicle, allowing you to enjoy longer driving sessions before needing to recharge, which is particularly valuable for weekend bashers and RC club members who want to maximise their track time.
• 2S Cell Configuration (7.4V) — Two lithium polymer cells in series provide the standard 7.4 volt output that is compatible with the vast majority of modern RC cars, buggies and trucks on the market, from entry-level ready to run models to more advanced builds.
• 40C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 40C maximum continuous discharge rate means this battery can deliver high current output safely and reliably, supporting brushless motors and high-performance RC drivetrains without voltage sag or cell stress.
• 31.08 Watt-Hour Energy Output — This specification tells you exactly how much total energy the battery stores, helping you compare runtime and performance against other batteries and make informed purchasing decisions for your specific RC application.
• XT60 Connector — The XT60 gold-plated connector is the industry standard on modern RC batteries, ensuring secure connections, minimal resistance losses, and compatibility with virtually all contemporary RC chargers, ESCs and battery management systems.
• Round/Oval Case Design — The distinctive stick pack format with rounded edges is specifically designed to fit into tight battery compartments found on many RC vehicles, making installation straightforward without requiring modification to your chassis.
• Hard Case Protection — The robust hard case shell protects the lithium polymer cells from impact damage, crushing and external deformation, extending the lifespan of your battery and ensuring safe, reliable operation throughout its service life.
• Compact Dimensions — Measuring just 137 x 47 x 25mm, this battery pack has a low profile that slots easily into compatible RC layouts, helping maintain optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics in your RC car or truck.

Technical Performance

The Voltz 4200mAh 2S LiPo battery is engineered to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of RC applications. With a maximum continuous discharge rating of 40C, this battery can safely supply up to 168 amps of current (4.2 Ah × 40C = 168A), making it perfectly suited for brushless motor systems commonly found in modern RC buggies, stadium trucks and short-course racing vehicles. The 7.4V nominal voltage from the two-cell lithium polymer configuration aligns perfectly with the power requirements of most contemporary RC electronic speed controllers (ESCs) and brushless motors, ensuring optimal performance without voltage regulators or step-down converters. The 31.08 watt-hour energy capacity represents a well-balanced compromise between weight and runtime—heavy enough to provide meaningful driving sessions but light enough to maintain responsive handling and acceleration characteristics. The hard case construction uses durable plastic materials designed to withstand the rigours of RC use, protecting the individual lithium polymer cells from mechanical damage whilst allowing air circulation for thermal management during charging and discharge cycles. The XT60 connector features gold-plated contacts that provide low-resistance connections, minimising voltage drop and ensuring maximum power delivery to your RC vehicle's motor and steering servo systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Voltz 4200mAh 2S LiPo battery suitable for beginners? — Yes, this battery is an excellent choice for beginners and newcomers to RC. The 2S voltage is standard across most entry-level and intermediate RC vehicles, the 40C discharge rating is more than adequate for recreational driving, and Voltz batteries are known for reliable, consistent performance without requiring specialist knowledge to use or maintain.
• What RC vehicles is this battery compatible with? — This 2S 7.4V battery is compatible with any RC car, truck, buggy or crawler designed to use 2S LiPo batteries with an XT60 connector. This includes many brushless RC models, RC buggies, RC stadium trucks, and RC short-course vehicles from various manufacturers, though you should always verify your specific vehicle's battery requirements before purchasing.
• How long will the battery last between charges? — Runtime depends on several factors including your specific RC vehicle's motor KV rating, driving style, terrain, and throttle usage. With a 4200mAh capacity in a 40C battery, you can expect 30-45 minutes of typical recreational driving, though high-performance competitive use may reduce this slightly due to higher current draw.
• What does the 40C discharge rating mean? — The 40C rating indicates the maximum safe continuous current the battery can discharge, calculated by multiplying the capacity in amp-hours by the C-rating (4.2Ah × 40C = 168A maximum). This means the battery can safely power demanding brushless motors without stress, overheating or cell damage.
• Do I need a special charger for this battery? — You will need a charger capable of charging 2S lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries. Most modern RC battery chargers support 2S charging, and many chargers feature balance charging which monitors individual cell voltages during charging to ensure optimal battery health and longevity.
• Can I use this battery with a 3S vehicle? — No, this is a 2S battery (7.4V) and should not be used with vehicles designed for 3S batteries (11.1V). Using an incorrect voltage battery can damage your ESC, motor and other electronics. Always verify your vehicle's battery specifications before purchasing.
• What is the difference between this and other 2S LiPo batteries? — The Voltz 4200mAh offers excellent value for money, combining solid specifications with the reputation for reliability that Voltz has built in the RC community. The 40C discharge rating provides good performance for most applications without the premium price of ultra-high discharge-rate batteries, making it ideal for recreational users and bashers who want dependable, affordable power.
• How should I store this battery? — LiPo batteries should be stored in a cool, dry location at room temperature, ideally in a lipo-safe storage bag or metal container for fire safety. Store the battery at partial charge (around 3.8V per cell, or 7.6V for this 2S pack) if you plan to store it for extended periods, and avoid storing in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
