This Gens Ace G-Tech 3S LiPo battery is designed for enthusiasts of high-performance 1/8 and 1/10 scale RC cars seeking extended runtimes and robust power delivery. Its key benefit is the combination of a high 6500mAh capacity and a 60C discharge rate, ideal for demanding bashing applications. A potential caveat is its physical size and weight, which may require specific battery tray configurations in some models. This battery pack offers a substantial power upgrade for compatible RC vehicles.

'3S' refers to the number of cells in series within the battery pack. For a LiPo battery, each cell has a nominal voltage of 3.7V, so a 3S battery has a nominal voltage of 3 * 3.7V = 11.1V.
The 'C' rating indicates the maximum discharge rate the battery can safely provide. A 60C rating means this battery can theoretically discharge up to 60 times its capacity in amps (60 * 6.5A = 390A). A higher C rating is crucial for high-performance applications that demand a lot of current, like powerful RC cars, preventing voltage sag and ensuring consistent power.
Run time depends heavily on the vehicle's power consumption, driving style, terrain, and gearing. A 6500mAh battery in a 1/8 scale vehicle might provide 15-25 minutes of bashing, while a lighter 1/10 scale could yield longer run times.
No, this battery comes with an EC5 connector. You would need to use an adapter cable to connect it to an ESC with an EC3 or XT60 connector. Ensure any adapter used is rated for the current demands of your system.
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the time of purchase. Please check your original purchase documentation for specific warranty details.
Yes, it is safe to charge LiPo batteries indoors provided you use a proper LiPo balance charger specifically designed for them, follow all instructions, and use a fire-safe charging bag or container. Never leave a charging LiPo battery unattended.
Ensure the charger is compatible with LiPo batteries and set to the correct cell count (3S) and charge current. Check that the battery's balance leads and main power leads are securely connected to the charger.
The battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan, could be undercharged, or the vehicle's load might be too high. Check for any restrictions in the drivetrain or ensure the battery is fully charged. If the battery is old or shows signs of swelling, it may need replacement.
This can indicate the battery is being discharged too quickly (C-rating too low for the application) or the vehicle's system is drawing too much current. Check if the ESC's low-voltage cutoff is set correctly or if there are binding issues in the drivetrain. Ensure the battery's C-rating is sufficient for your RC model.
The battery dimensions might be larger than the stock battery. You may need to adjust or modify the battery tray, use different hold-down straps, or consider a different battery if a perfect fit is critical.
Compatibility:
This battery is specifically designed for 1/8 and 1/10 scale RC vehicles that can accommodate its dimensions (152mm x 46mm x 26.5mm) and require a 3S (11.1V) LiPo battery with an EC5 connector. Ensure your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) is rated for 3S LiPo input and compatible with the EC5 connector, or use an appropriate adapter. It is listed as compatible with models such as SLEDGE, FELONY 6S BLX, LIMITLESS, INFRACTION 6S BLX, MOJAVE 6S, KRATON Roller, MOJAVE ROLLER, TYPHON 6S/3S, KRATON 6S BLX, TALION 6S BLX, OUTCAST 6S BLX, NOTORIOUS 6S, BIGROCK 4x4 3S BLX, OUTCAST, and Kraton.
