Technical Performance
The Voltz 4000mAh 11.1V 50C hard case LiPo represents a thoroughly engineered power solution for serious RC enthusiasts. With a capacity of 4000mAh and nominal voltage of 11.1V (3S configuration), this battery delivers 44.4 watt-hours of energy, providing excellent runtime for most 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles. The 50C continuous discharge rating means this battery can safely deliver 200 amps of continuous current (4000mAh × 50C = 200A), making it fully compatible with high-performance brushless motor systems and Hobbywing or similar brushless ESCs rated for 3S LiPo. The hard shell casing is engineered from durable materials that withstand impact, vibration and the rigours of off-road bashing, whilst protecting the delicate lithium polymer cells from puncture and compression damage. The pre-fitted XT60 connector ensures reliable electrical contact and is widely recognised as the industry standard for RC batteries of this capacity and discharge rating. The strain relief clip on the balance connector prevents the flexible leads from being stressed during installation, removal and normal use, significantly extending battery lifespan. These specifications make the Voltz 4000mAh an excellent upgrade for ready to run RC models, competitive club racers and weekend bashers alike across the UK RC scene.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Voltz 4000mAh hard case LiPo suitable for beginners in RC cars? — Yes, this battery is an excellent choice for beginners and experienced drivers alike. The hard case provides extra protection, making it forgiving during the learning phase, whilst the 50C discharge rate ensures it will work with virtually all brushless motor systems. The pre-fitted XT60 connector means there's no soldering required—simply plug it in and drive. However, beginners should ensure they have a compatible LiPo charger and understand basic LiPo safety protocols before use.
- What RC cars and trucks is this battery compatible with? — This 3S 11.1V hard case stick pack with XT60 connector is suitable for a wide range of RC vehicles including 1/10 scale RC buggies, RC monster trucks, RC short course trucks, and similar models that accept a 3S LiPo battery in hard case format with an XT60 connector. Always check the battery compartment dimensions (138 x 46 x 38mm) against your vehicle's specifications to ensure a proper fit. Some vehicles like the TT02 can accommodate this battery with upgraded motor and ESC, though it represents the largest capacity that will fit without modification.
- What charger do I need for the Voltz 4000mAh LiPo battery? — You will need a dedicated LiPo battery charger that supports 3S LiPo charging. Most modern RC chargers from reputable manufacturers include LiPo balancing and charging modes. The XT60 connector means your charger must also have XT60 connector compatibility, or you will need an XT60 adapter lead. Never use a standard NiMH charger, as this can damage the LiPo cells or create a fire hazard.
- How long will this battery last on a single charge? — Runtime depends on your motor, ESC, driving style and vehicle weight, but expect approximately 15-25 minutes of continuous driving on a 1/10 scale RC car under typical conditions. Aggressive racing will reduce runtime, whilst easier cruising can extend it. Many users run multiple batteries to extend their driving sessions.
- What does the 50C discharge rating mean? — The 50C rating indicates the maximum continuous current the battery can safely deliver. For a 4000mAh battery, this means 50 × 4 = 200 amps of continuous discharge. This ensures the battery can power high-performance brushless systems without voltage sag, cell damage or excessive heat generation.
- Does this battery need any special storage or maintenance? — LiPo batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place at approximately 50% charge when not in use for extended periods. Never fully discharge or leave the battery in a discharged state, as this can damage the cells. Use a LiPo safe bag or container for storage and transport. Always inspect the battery for swelling, damage or leaks before use.
- How does the hard case design benefit my battery? — The hard shell casing protects the delicate LiPo cells from compression, impact and puncture during aggressive driving. This extends battery lifespan, reduces the risk of cell shorts from physical damage, and allows you to bash your RC vehicle with confidence knowing your battery is well-protected.
