Key Features

• 2200mAh Capacity — This capacity provides a practical balance between flight time and weight, making the battery suitable for a wide range of small to medium-sized RC aircraft, helicopters, quadcopters and drones without adding excessive mass that would compromise performance.
• 3S Configuration (11.1V) — The three-cell LiPo configuration delivers 11.1 volts nominal, which is the standard voltage required by many popular RC aircraft and flight controllers, ensuring compatibility with a vast selection of RC models available in the UK market.
• 30C Continuous Discharge Rating — With a maximum continuous discharge rate of 30C, this battery can safely deliver 66 amps of continuous current, providing sufficient power for most general-purpose RC flying applications without thermal stress or premature aging.
• 60C Burst Discharge Rating — The maximum burst discharge rating of 60C allows the battery to handle temporary high-power demands during aggressive manoeuvres, fast acceleration or sustained climbs, giving you flexibility in flight dynamics.
• Strain Relief Clip on Balance Cable — The integrated strain relief clip protects the delicate balance connector from bending, twisting and accidental damage during transport, handling and storage, significantly extending battery lifespan and preventing connection failures.
• Deans / T Plug Connector — The universally recognised Deans connector (also known as a T Plug) is industry-standard across RC hobby equipment in the UK, ensuring straightforward compatibility with the vast majority of RC chargers, ESCs and power distribution boards without adapters.
• Soft Case Construction — The flexible soft-case design allows the battery to fit into tight spaces within aircraft fuselages and vehicle chassis while remaining lightweight, making installation simpler and maintaining your model's weight budget.
• Compact Dimensions — At just 115 x 35 x 24 millimetres, this battery is genuinely compact and fits comfortably into a wide variety of RC aircraft, quadcopters and smaller RC vehicles without requiring custom mounting solutions or structural modifications.

Technical Performance

The Voltz 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 30C LiPo Battery is engineered to deliver reliable, consistent power for general-purpose RC flying and model operation. With a nominal voltage of 11.1 volts across three cells in series, this battery provides the correct voltage profile required by most small to medium-sized brushless motors, electronic speed controllers and flight control systems commonly used in the UK RC hobby scene. The 24.42 watt-hour energy capacity ensures adequate runtime for typical flying sessions lasting 5-15 minutes depending on your specific model, flying style and throttle usage patterns. The 30C continuous discharge rating means the battery can safely provide 66 amps of steady current without overheating, whilst the 60C burst rating allows brief periods of higher current draw during aggressive manoeuvres or rapid acceleration. The battery weighs just 185 grams, which is light enough for aircraft applications where weight is critical, yet substantial enough to indicate solid construction and genuine LiPo cell quality. The inclusion of a protective strain relief clip on the balance connector is a genuine engineering improvement that protects this vulnerable component from damage, whilst the soft-case construction keeps overall weight minimal. This battery uses industry-standard chemistry and manufacturing standards recognised across the UK RC hobby community, ensuring compatibility with standard RC LiPo chargers, balancers and monitoring equipment. Whether you're flying fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, racing drones or operating RC vehicles, this battery delivers the stable voltage regulation and responsive power delivery that serious RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Voltz 2200mAh 3S LiPo battery suitable for beginners? — This is a flight-focused LiPo battery intended for RC aircraft, helicopters and drones rather than RC cars or trucks. If you're completely new to RC flying, we recommend starting with a ready-to-fly (RTF) aircraft that includes a pre-installed battery and charger. However, if you already own an RC aircraft and understand LiPo safety procedures, this battery is reliable and affordable. Never use this battery in RC cars or monster trucks, as flight LiPo batteries are not designed for the high-vibration, high-impact environment of ground vehicles.
• What aircraft and RC models is this battery compatible with? — This battery suits any RC aircraft, multirotor, helicopter or drone that requires an 11.1V 3S LiPo battery with dimensions approximately 115 x 35 x 24 millimetres and features a Deans or T Plug connector. Common compatible models include many FMS aircraft, small brushless helicopters, racing quadcopters and compact fixed-wing trainers. Always check your specific model's manual to confirm voltage and connector compatibility before purchase.
• How long will this battery last in flight? — Flight time depends on your specific aircraft weight, motor power, flying style and throttle usage. Typically, you can expect 5-15 minutes of flight time with this 2200mAh capacity, though aggressive flying with continuous high throttle will reduce this to the lower end of the range. Gentle flying with moderate throttle settings maximises flight duration.
• What charger do I need for this battery? — This battery requires a dedicated LiPo charger capable of balanced charging via the four-pin XH or JST balance connector. RC LiPo chargers are widely available at RC Model Shop and specialist retailers across the UK. Never use standard NiMH chargers, as they will damage or destroy your LiPo battery. Always charge using a proper LiPo balance charger and follow safe charging practices including charging in a fireproof LiPo bag away from flammable materials.
• What does the 30C discharge rating mean? — The 30C rating indicates the maximum continuous current the battery can safely discharge. Multiply the capacity (2200mAh = 2.2Ah) by the C-rating (30C) to get the maximum continuous amperage: 2.2 x 30 = 66 amps. This means the battery can continuously deliver 66 amps without overheating or damage, which is suitable for most general-purpose RC flying applications.
• Why does my battery have a balance connector in addition to the main power connector? — The balance connector allows a LiPo charger to monitor and equalise the voltage across each individual cell during charging. This balanced charging extends battery lifespan significantly by preventing cell over-charge or under-charge. Always connect the balance cable when charging, even if your charger supports fast charging via the main connector.
• How should I store this battery safely? — Store your LiPo battery at approximately 50% charge in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat or moisture. Store in a fireproof LiPo storage bag for safety. Never store a fully charged battery for extended periods, and avoid letting the battery fully discharge to 0V, as this damages the cells permanently. Check stored batteries monthly and top up to 50% charge if needed.
• Is this battery waterproof? — No, LiPo batteries are not waterproof. Avoid exposing this battery to water, rain or high humidity. The internal lithium polymer cells can be damaged by moisture, and water contact creates serious fire and explosion hazards. Always store and operate in dry conditions.
