Key Features
- 2200mAh Capacity — This capacity provides a balanced runtime for most RC applications, delivering sufficient power for recreational flying and driving sessions without excessive weight or bulk that would compromise handling and performance.
- 11.1V (3S) Voltage Configuration — The three-cell LiPo configuration is one of the most popular voltage standards in the RC hobby, ensuring broad compatibility with RC cars UK, aircraft, and other models that use 3S battery packs.
- 30C Continuous Discharge Rating — This specification means the battery can safely deliver 30 times its capacity in continuous current (66 amps for this pack), providing sufficient power delivery for most standard RC vehicles and aircraft without thermal stress or voltage sag during flight or driving.
- 60C Burst Discharge Rating — The battery can briefly handle double the continuous discharge rate for acceleration bursts and high-demand manoeuvres, giving you the extra power when you need it most during aggressive flying or racing.
- XT60 Connector — This is one of the most widely used power connectors in the RC hobby, ensuring the battery will connect directly to most modern brushless RC cars, trucks, and aircraft without the need for adapters or modifications.
- Strain Relief Clip on Balance Lead — The included protective clip safeguards the delicate balance connector from accidental damage during handling, storage, and charging, significantly extending the battery's lifespan and reliability.
- Compact Dimensions — At 115 x 35 x 24mm, this battery is compact enough to fit into most RC vehicle battery compartments whilst remaining robust enough to handle the demands of serious RC use.
- Lightweight Construction — Weighing just 185 grams, this battery provides an excellent weight-to-capacity ratio, keeping your RC vehicle or aircraft nimble and responsive without adding excess heft.
Technical Performance
The Voltz 2200mAh 11.1V 30C LiPo Battery is engineered to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of RC applications. With a 24.42Wh energy capacity, this battery provides the optimal balance between weight and runtime for most brushless RC vehicles and aircraft in the UK market. The 30C continuous discharge rating translates to a maximum safe current draw of 66 amps, more than sufficient for standard brushless motors and ESCs commonly found in 1/10-scale RC cars, 1/8-scale buggies, and small-to-medium aircraft. The 60C burst rating allows the battery to temporarily exceed this limit during acceleration or power-hungry manoeuvres, making it suitable for both racing and freestyle flying. The soft case construction provides some protection whilst keeping weight minimal, and the factory-fitted XT60 connector means you're ready to use this battery immediately with any compatible RC equipment. The included strain relief clip demonstrates quality engineering at every level, protecting against the most common failure point in LiPo battery packs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC vehicles is the Voltz 2200mAh 11.1V battery suitable for? — This battery is compatible with any RC vehicle or aircraft that accepts a 3S LiPo battery with an XT60 connector and has space for a battery measuring approximately 115 x 35 x 24mm. This includes most 1/10-scale RC cars, 1/8-scale buggies, small to medium RC aircraft, and various other RC models available in the UK. Always verify your specific model's battery requirements before purchasing.
- Is the Voltz 2200mAh LiPo battery good for beginners? — Yes, this battery is excellent for beginners. The 2200mAh capacity provides a good balance of runtime and weight, the 30C discharge rate is suitable for standard brushless motors used in entry-level RC vehicles, and the included strain relief clip shows that Voltz has thought about durability for users who are still learning proper battery handling and storage techniques.
- What does the 30C discharge rating mean? — The 30C rating indicates this battery can safely and continuously discharge 30 times its capacity in amps, which equals 66 amps for this 2200mAh pack. This is more than sufficient for most standard RC applications. The 60C burst rating allows brief periods at double this current during aggressive acceleration or power demands.
- Do I need a special charger for this LiPo battery? — Yes, LiPo batteries require a dedicated LiPo-compatible charger that can balance-charge the pack and monitor individual cell voltages. You cannot use standard NiMH chargers with LiPo batteries. The battery includes a balance lead connector specifically designed for proper charging.
- How do I store this LiPo battery safely? — Store the battery in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50% capacity (around 3.7V per cell, or 11.1V total for a 3S pack). Always store in a fireproof container or LiPo storage bag to mitigate any potential safety risks.
- What is the difference between this 30C LiPo and higher discharge-rated batteries? — Higher discharge-rated batteries (such as 50C or 100C packs) allow greater continuous current draw, which suits high-performance racing or aerobatic flying. The Voltz 30C rating is perfectly adequate for recreational use, standard racing, and most aircraft applications. The trade-off with higher discharge rates is typically increased cost and often slightly more weight.
- Can I use this battery for fast-charging? — Always consult your charger's manual and the battery's specifications. This battery is rated for 30C continuous discharge, which supports appropriate charging speeds. However, avoid excessive fast-charging as it can degrade battery lifespan and pose safety risks. Moderate charging rates are recommended for longevity.
- What voltage will this battery provide during use? — A fully charged 3S LiPo battery provides 12.6V initially, approximately 11.1V during normal use (which is why it's rated as an 11.1V pack), and should not be discharged below approximately 9.0V (3.0V per cell) to avoid damaging the battery.
