Key Features

• 6000mAh High Capacity — With 6000 milliamp-hours of stored energy, this battery delivers extended runtime on a single charge, allowing you to enjoy longer driving sessions before needing to return to the charger. Higher capacity means more fun between charges compared to smaller pack alternatives.
• 50C Continuous Discharge Rate — The 50C rating means this battery can safely deliver high current output to power demanding RC motors and electronics. This translates to snappy acceleration, responsive throttle control, and the ability to handle both speed runs and technical driving without voltage sag or performance loss.
• 2S LiPo Chemistry (7.4V) — The 2S configuration, delivering 7.4 volts nominal, is the most common voltage standard in the RC hobby. This makes the battery compatible with an enormous range of RC models available in the UK market, from compact RC buggies to medium-sized RC trucks and cars.
• Deans (HCT) Connector — The Deans connector is the industry-standard connection format for quality RC LiPo batteries. This ensures safe, secure connection to your ESC and eliminates the hassle of needing to solder custom connectors or use adapters.
• Compact Dimensions (160 x 43 x 21mm) — The practical size allows this battery to fit into most modern battery trays without modification. Before purchasing, simply measure your battery compartment to confirm compatibility, but the 160mm length, 43mm width, and 21mm height accommodate the vast majority of contemporary RC models.
• Lightweight at 323 Grams — Weighing just 323 grams, this battery won't dramatically affect your model's weight distribution or handling characteristics. The low mass helps maintain responsive performance and natural handling dynamics typical of quality RC car setups.
• Soft Case Protection — The battery arrives in a protective soft case, providing essential safeguarding against physical damage, punctures, and environmental hazards during storage and transport. This extends the lifespan of your investment and maintains safety standards.
• Ready to Use Out of the Box — No soldering, no modifications, no special adapters required. Simply charge using a compatible LiPo charger and install into your compatible RC model. The Deans (HCT) connector plugs directly into matching ESC connectors found on thousands of ready-to-run RC cars and trucks available in the UK.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 2S 6000mAh 7.4V 50C battery represents quality engineering designed to deliver consistent, reliable performance across a wide range of RC applications. LiPo (Lithium Polymer) chemistry is the industry standard for modern RC vehicles because it offers superior power density compared to older NiMH batteries. The 50C discharge rating indicates this pack can safely deliver 300 amps of continuous current (50 x 6 Ah = 300A), providing the high-amperage output demanded by modern brushless motors commonly found in contemporary RC buggy, truck, and car setups. The 7.4V nominal voltage of the 2S configuration sits at the sweet spot of compatibility — high enough to deliver proper voltage to brushless motor systems and electronic speed controllers, yet low enough to be safe and manageable for users aged 14 and upwards. The battery's 323-gram weight and compact 160 x 43 x 21mm dimensions ensure it integrates seamlessly into most contemporary RC models without requiring battery tray modifications or compromising vehicle balance. The soft case construction provides essential protection against the physical stresses of regular RC use, whilst the Deans (HCT) connector ensures reliable, corrosion-resistant power delivery with minimal voltage drop during discharge cycles. Whether powering a competition-grade RC car, a weekend basher, or a technical crawler, this battery delivers the stable voltage curve and current capacity needed for predictable, enjoyable performance across varied driving conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient 2S 6000mAh 7.4V 50C LiPo suitable for my RC model? — This battery is compatible with any RC car, truck, buggy, or other electric model that specifies a 2S (7.4V) LiPo battery and features a Deans (HCT) connector. Before purchasing, confirm two things: that your model's battery tray can accommodate approximately 160 x 43 x 21mm dimensions, and that your ESC features a matching Deans (HCT) connector. If your model uses a different connector type (such as XT60 or EC3), you would need an adapter cable.
• What runtime should I expect from this 6000mAh battery? — Runtime depends on several variables including your motor's power consumption, driving style, terrain, and vehicle weight. As a general guide, most users experience between 15-25 minutes of active driving from a 6000mAh pack before requiring a recharge. Speed runs drain batteries faster than technical crawling, and heavier vehicles draw more current than lighter ones. Always have a second charged battery available for extended driving sessions.
• How do I safely charge and maintain this LiPo battery? — Use only a dedicated LiPo battery charger capable of handling 2S packs, preferably one with balance charging functionality. Never leave a charging battery unattended, charge in a fireproof bag or container, and avoid charging on flammable surfaces. Store the battery in a cool, dry location at around 50% charge state when not in use for extended periods. Check the battery for any signs of swelling, damage, or connector corrosion before each use.
• What does the 50C discharge rating mean? — The 50C rating indicates the maximum continuous current this battery can safely deliver. Multiplying 50C by the battery's 6Ah capacity (50 x 6) gives a theoretical maximum discharge current of 300 amps. This high discharge rate ensures the battery can handle the demanding current draw of modern brushless motors without excessive voltage sag or overheating, resulting in responsive acceleration and consistent performance.
• Is this battery compatible with a ready-to-run RC car? — Many ready-to-run RC cars and trucks sold in the UK market feature 2S LiPo specifications and Deans (HCT) connectors, making them compatible with this battery. However, you must verify your specific model's requirements before purchasing. Check your vehicle's manual or specifications to confirm both the voltage requirement (2S/7.4V) and connector type (Deans/HCT).
• Can I use this battery with different connector types? — The Radient pack comes pre-fitted with a Deans (HCT) connector. If your RC model uses a different connector standard (such as XT60, EC3, or XT90), you would need to purchase a compatible adapter cable or have a qualified technician resolder the connector. We recommend purchasing a model with matching connector type to avoid the expense and complexity of adapters.
• How long does this battery take to charge? — Charge time depends on your charger's amperage rating. Most modern LiPo chargers can fully charge a 6000mAh 2S pack in 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the charger's output capability and whether you're using fast-charge or standard charge settings. Balance charging, which is recommended for battery longevity, typically adds 15-30 minutes to the charging time.
