Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of a 30C discharge rate?

A 30C discharge rate means the battery can safely deliver up to 30 times its capacity in amps (3300mAh * 30 = 99A). This allows for higher power output, which is beneficial for demanding tasks like quick acceleration in RC cars or sustained high-speed flight.

Can I use this battery with any RC device?

This battery is primarily designed for RC models (airplanes, boats, helicopters, cars) that require a 7.4V (2S) LiPo battery with an XT90 connector. Always check your device's specifications for voltage and connector compatibility.

How should I store this LiPo battery long-term?

For long-term storage, charge or discharge the battery to its storage voltage, which is typically around 3.8V per cell. Store it in a cool, dry place away from flammable materials.

What is the difference between LiPo and NiMH batteries?

LiPo batteries offer a higher energy density (more power for their weight) and generally provide more consistent voltage output during discharge compared to NiMH batteries. However, LiPo batteries require more careful handling and specific charging equipment.

How do I dispose of an old or damaged LiPo battery?

LiPo batteries should not be disposed of in regular household waste. Contact your local recycling center or hazardous waste disposal facility for proper LiPo battery disposal guidelines.

What does '2S1P' mean on the battery?

'2S' means there are two cells connected in series, resulting in a nominal voltage of 7.4V. '1P' means there is one set of these series-connected cells, indicating capacity is not increased by paralleling.

Troubleshooting

Battery not charging

Ensure the charger is compatible with LiPo batteries and correctly set for 2S (7.4V). Check that both the balance leads and main power leads are securely connected to the charger.

Reduced runtime or power

The battery may be degraded from age, overuse, or improper storage. Ensure it is fully charged and that no other components in the RC system are drawing excessive power.

Battery is swelling or puffing

This indicates internal damage. Discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to charge or use the battery. Dispose of it safely according to local regulations for LiPo batteries.

Loose XT90 connector

Inspect the connector for damage or wear. If the connection is loose, consider replacing the connector on either the battery or the ESC.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sufficient capacity for extended RC sessions.
  • High 30C discharge rate supports performance-oriented models.
  • Durable XT90 connector ensures a secure connection.
  • Lightweight LiPo technology aids in overall vehicle performance.
  • Suitable for a broad range of RC applications like planes, boats, and cars.

Cons

  • Requires specialized LiPo charger and careful handling.
  • LiPo batteries can be sensitive to over-discharge and extreme temperatures.
  • May be oversized for smaller or lighter RC models.
  • White color may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Charging: Always use a compatible LiPo balance charger. Never use a NiMH or NiCd charger. Connect the balance leads to the charger's balance port and the main power leads to the appropriate terminals.
  2. Initial Charge: Charge the battery to its full capacity before its first use.
  3. Connection: Ensure the XT90 connector is securely attached to your RC model's ESC (Electronic Speed Controller).

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: This is a 2S (7.4V) battery. Ensure your RC model's ESC and motor are rated for 7.4V.
  • Connector: Your RC model must be equipped with an XT90 connector or have an adapter to use this battery.
  • Physical Size: Verify that the battery dimensions (135.5mm W x 42mm D x 13.5mm H) fit within your RC model's battery compartment.

Care:

  • Storage: Store the battery at approximately 3.8V per cell (storage voltage) in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods.
  • Temperature: Do not expose the battery to extreme heat or cold. Operate and store within recommended temperature ranges (typically 20-25°C).
  • Discharge: Avoid discharging the battery below 3.0V per cell. Monitor your RC model's voltage cutoff if equipped, or use a low-voltage alarm.
  • Physical Damage: Inspect the battery regularly for any signs of puffing, swelling, or physical damage. If damage is observed, discontinue use immediately and dispose of it properly.
  • Charging: Never leave a charging battery unattended. Ensure the charger is placed on a fire-resistant surface.
