Key Features

• 5000mAh Capacity — This generous capacity means extended run times on a single charge, allowing you to enjoy longer driving sessions without interruption, making it ideal for both casual weekend bashing and competitive racing where extended track time is essential.
• 2S LiPo Chemistry — Two cells in series deliver 7.4V nominal voltage (7.6V fresh from the charger), which is the industry-standard voltage for most 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC cars, ensuring perfect compatibility with your existing ESC and motor setup.
• 50C Discharge Rating — This high discharge rate means the battery can safely deliver massive current bursts to your brushless motor, enabling explosive acceleration and maintaining performance during aggressive driving without voltage sag that would otherwise slow you down.
• XT90 Connector — Gold-plated XT90 connectors provide excellent electrical contact, minimal voltage drop, and are the preferred connector type across the UK RC car community for their reliability and durability in high-performance applications.
• Professional Build Quality — Constructed with premium materials and rigorous quality control, Gens Ace batteries are engineered for consistent performance across multiple charge cycles, protecting your investment through extended use.
• Compact Dimensions — At 139mm length, 43mm width and 20mm depth, this battery pack fits easily into most modern RC car battery trays without requiring modifications, making installation straightforward whether you're upgrading an existing model or setting up a new vehicle.
• Lightweight at 266g — The total weight is carefully engineered to provide serious capacity without making your RC car sluggish, maintaining the perfect centre of gravity for optimal handling and weight distribution during high-speed cornering.
• Long Battery Life — Gens Ace LiPo batteries are engineered for durability and longevity, providing consistent power delivery across multiple charge cycles, representing excellent value for money over the operational life of your RC car.

Technical Performance

The GENSACE Li-Po Car 2S 7.4V 5000mAh 50C battery is engineered to the highest standards for reliable performance in competitive and recreational RC car environments throughout the UK. The 50C discharge rating indicates this pack can safely deliver up to 250 amps of continuous current (5000mAh × 50C = 250A), providing the electrical power needed for brushless motors in the 4000KV to 6500KV range commonly found in 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC cars. The robust cell construction ensures minimal internal resistance, reducing voltage sag during acceleration and maintaining consistent motor performance even under peak current draw. The 7.4V nominal voltage (measuring 8.4V when fully charged and 6.0V at safe discharge cutoff) is perfectly matched to most modern RC car ESCs and brushless motor combinations, eliminating the need for voltage converters or system modifications. With 5000mAh capacity, you can expect 15-25 minutes of mixed driving on a single charge depending on your driving style, terrain and motor setup — serious improvement over standard 2200mAh or 3000mAh packs. The XT90 connector features gold-plated contacts that maintain excellent conductivity across hundreds of charge cycles, whilst the compact dimensions of 139 × 43 × 20mm and weight of 266g mean you can achieve optimal weight distribution in your chassis without sacrificing run time. This is a soft case pack, making it flexible and lightweight, ideal for RC car applications where every gram matters for handling and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How long will this battery last on a single charge? — Run time depends on your specific RC car, motor, ESC settings and driving style, but the 5000mAh capacity typically provides 15-25 minutes of continuous driving for 1/10 scale cars, with longer times for lighter vehicles or shorter times for aggressive high-speed racing. Having a second charged pack allows you to double your track time without waiting for recharging.
• Is this battery compatible with my RC car? — This 2S LiPo pack with XT90 connector is suitable for any RC car with a 2S-compatible ESC and XT90 connector socket. Check your car's manual or ESC specifications to confirm 2S LiPo compatibility. Most modern 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC cars accept 2S batteries without issue.
• What charger do I need for this battery? — You'll need a dedicated LiPo-compatible balance charger that can handle XT90 connectors. Most quality chargers sold in the UK specifically for RC use include XT90 compatibility or adaptors. Never use standard NiMH or NiCd chargers, as LiPo batteries require specialised charging profiles for safety.
• What is the difference between 50C and 60C discharge ratings? — The C-rating indicates the maximum safe continuous current the battery can deliver. A 50C pack (250A maximum for this 5000mAh pack) is sufficient for most recreational RC cars and many competition vehicles, while 60C packs offer slightly higher current capability for extreme racing applications. For typical RC car use, the 50C rating provides excellent performance and value.
• How should I store this battery when not in use? — LiPo batteries should be stored in a fire-resistant bag at approximately 50% charge (around 7.5V for a 2S pack) in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Never store fully charged or fully discharged, as this stresses the cells and reduces lifespan. Check voltage monthly during storage periods.
• Can I use this battery in my transmitter or receiver? — No, this is specifically engineered as a main power battery for RC cars. Small transmitter and receiver packs use different connectors, capacities and voltage profiles. Always check your equipment's manual for compatible battery specifications.
• Is this battery waterproof? — Whilst the battery itself is sealed and relatively water-resistant, the XT90 connector is not fully waterproof. For water-based RC activities, ensure connectors remain dry or use protective covers. Always inspect batteries after exposure to moisture before charging.
• How many times can I recharge this battery? — Quality Gens Ace LiPo batteries typically maintain 80% capacity after 200+ full charge cycles with proper care, management and storage. Actual cycle life depends on charging rates, discharge levels and storage conditions. Faster charging and deeper discharges reduce cycle lifespan.
