FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 45C discharge rate?
The 45C discharge rate means the battery can deliver a high amount of current quickly, providing robust power for quick acceleration and responsive handling in RC aircraft, especially beneficial for racing or aerobatic maneuvers.
How long will this battery last on a single charge?
Flight time varies greatly depending on the model and how it is flown. With a 200 mAh capacity, expect shorter flight times suitable for quick flights or as a spare for longer sessions, typically in the range of a few minutes for active flight.
Can I use this battery with any RC model?
This battery is compatible with any brand of RC model that uses a 3.7V 1S Li-Po battery with a matching connector and has specifications suitable for a 200 mAh capacity. Always check your model's power requirements.
What is the warranty period for this battery?
The Gens ace GEA2001S45PH battery comes with a 1-year warranty period.
How should I store the battery when not in use?
Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage, it's recommended to charge it to approximately 50% capacity to preserve its lifespan.
Is this battery suitable for high-power drones?
No, this battery has a small capacity (200 mAh) and is best suited for micro quadcopters and small RC airplanes. It is not designed for larger drones or applications requiring high power draw over extended periods.
What does '1S1P' mean?
'1S' refers to one cell in series, meaning a nominal voltage of 3.7V. '1P' refers to one parallel set of cells, indicating there is only one cell in the pack.
Troubleshooting
Battery not charging
Ensure the charger is a Li-Po balance charger compatible with 3.7V cells. Check that the battery connector is securely plugged into the charger and that the charger's settings are correct for a 1S Li-Po battery.
Reduced flight time or performance
The battery may be nearing the end of its usable life or may not be fully charged. Ensure it is charged to its full capacity and consider replacing the battery if performance has significantly degraded over time.
Battery is swollen
A swollen Li-Po battery is damaged and can be dangerous. Discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to charge or use the battery. Store it in a safe, non-flammable container outdoors and dispose of it according to local hazardous waste regulations.
