The Best for Backyard Bashing
Spektrum™ Smart Technology is proud to introduce our lineup of Smart LiPo batteries with specially formulated Graphene LiPo High Discharge Chemistry designed to provide consistently higher voltage throughout the entire run of the battery under even the most extreme amperage loads.
For RC Bashers, maximum capacity and power are key, and the new Spektrum Smart Pro Basher Series batteries deliver! The Pro series batteries allow for more capacity to be squeezed into the LiPo cells, allowing for larger mAh ratings when compared to similarly sized battery packs. The Pro Basher Series features a newly designed hardcase shell that is thinner and more lightweight, all the while staying rigid, durable, and impact resistant. This series lives alongside current Smart G1 and G2 batteries and is an upgrade to standard hardcase surface packs.
Smart Pro-Series battery's benefits include longer battery life, better performance over the life of the pack, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your Smart battery is maintenance-free.
When a Smart Pro-Series battery is connected to a Spektrum Smart charger, its unique charging parameters and health information are uploaded to the charger from its integrated memory microchip. You can view and set preferences through the charger, such as charge rates, so all that's required to charge the pack is connecting it to your Smart charger. Smart technology takes care of the rest.
Spektrum Smart Pro-Series surface batteries store a wide variety of essential information, including:
- Battery Brand
- Battery Type
- Battery Capacity
- Battery C Rating
- Individual Cell Voltage
- Battery Temperature
- Charge/Discharge Cycles
Spektrum Smart Pro-Series surface batteries also maintain an error log, including over-heat, over-discharge, and over-charge incidents. This data can help assure that the battery you've chosen is suitable for the application.
Innovative Spektrum Smart Pro-Series surface batteries are so easy to use that they nearly take care of themselves. Smart technology makes it easy to achieve peak battery performance, reliability, and longevity!

Key Features
- 6800mAh High Capacity — This substantial capacity ensures extended run times compared to smaller battery packs, giving you significantly more time to enjoy your RC car without needing to swap batteries. For bashers, capacity directly translates to longer sessions of uninterrupted fun and more value from each charge cycle.
- 120C Maximum Continuous Discharge Rate — The powerful 120C discharge rate delivers the extreme amperage needed by modern brushless ESCs and motors, ensuring your RC car maintains peak performance and responsiveness even during hard acceleration and demanding terrain navigation. This high discharge capability prevents voltage sag that would otherwise limit performance.
- Graphene LiPo Chemistry — Spektrum's advanced graphene polymer formulation provides consistently higher average discharge voltage across the entire battery discharge curve compared to standard LiPo chemistry. This means better performance throughout the entire run, more responsive handling, and improved overall driving experience on your RC car.
- Smart Battery Technology — The integrated microchip stores vital information including battery capacity, C rating, temperature, charge cycles, and internal resistance. The battery also maintains an error log tracking over-charge, over-discharge, and over-temperature events, allowing you to make informed decisions about battery health and suitability for your application.
- 5C Maximum Charge Rate — The 5C charge capability (34A maximum charge current) enables super-fast charging without damaging battery health or longevity. You can recharge your battery quickly between sessions, minimising downtime and keeping you in the action.
- Auto Storage Discharge Function — The Smart Pro-Series batteries automatically discharge to a safe storage voltage of 3.90V per cell after 72 hours of inactivity. This intelligent feature eliminates the need for manual maintenance and ensures your battery stays healthy even when not in regular use, extending overall lifespan.
- IC5 Connector — The industry-standard IC5 connector provides secure, reliable power delivery with minimal resistance loss. This connector type is widely used across premium RC vehicles and ensures compatibility with modern ESCs and chargers.
- New Pro Series Hardcase Design — The thinner polycarbonate case design protects your battery from impacts and damage whilst remaining lightweight, allowing more mAh capacity per cell. The hardcase is engineered for the rigours of aggressive bashing whilst maintaining structural integrity.
- Automatic Charging on Spektrum Smart Chargers — When connected to a compatible Spektrum Smart charger, the battery's unique charging parameters automatically upload from its memory microchip. Simply connect and charging begins automatically with optimal settings—no manual configuration required.
- Maintenance-Free Operation — Smart Pro-Series batteries come from the factory programmed and configured, requiring zero maintenance. Charge, discharge, balance, and storage parameters are handled automatically, making this battery perfect for busy RC enthusiasts who want to focus on driving rather than battery management.
- G2 Smart Battery Platform — This represents the latest generation of Spektrum Smart battery technology, offering improved performance and features compared to the earlier G1 generation, with better voltage stability and refined chemistry formulation.
- Compatible with Multiple ARRMA Models — Specifically designed to fit Long Wheelbase ARRMA 3S BLX models including INFRACTION, BIG ROCK, and VENDETTA. Also compatible with some ARRMA 6S and 8S BLX models such as OUTCAST, KRATON, INFRACTION, and FELONY, providing versatile platform support.
Technical Performance
The Spektrum Smart G2 Pro Basher LiPo battery is engineered from the ground up for high-performance RC car applications that demand maximum power and reliability. With a nominal voltage of 11.1V delivered across three cells (3S configuration), this battery operates at the optimal voltage for most modern brushless ESC and motor combinations designed for 3S-compatible RC vehicles in the UK market. The 6800mAh capacity represents industry-leading energy storage in a form factor optimised for popular ARRMA models and similarly-sized RC bashers. At 508 grams (17.91 ounces), the battery provides substantial power without excessive weight penalties that would compromise vehicle handling or acceleration characteristics.
The 120C continuous discharge rating is particularly significant for high-performance applications, translating to a maximum continuous discharge current of 816 amps—more than sufficient for the most demanding brushless motor setups. This exceptional discharge capability ensures virtually no voltage sag during hard acceleration, maintaining peak voltage delivery to your ESC and motor throughout aggressive driving sessions. The low internal resistance of the Graphene LiPo chemistry further optimises power delivery, allowing your motor and ESC to receive the maximum available current without losses that plague inferior battery designs. Charge times are remarkably quick thanks to the 5C maximum charge rate capability, with a standard 1C charge rate of 6.8A providing flexibility between rapid charging and conservative charge cycles based on your schedule and preferences. The internal balancer and integrated balancing adaptor ensure all three cells remain perfectly balanced throughout charging cycles, extending battery lifespan and maintaining consistent performance across the entire discharge curve.
Dimensions of 157mm length × 48mm width × 32mm height make this battery compatible with battery trays designed for premium RC bashers, whilst the thinner Pro Series case design maximises internal volume for capacity without increasing external footprint. The hardcase construction provides genuine impact protection suitable for the punishment inherent in aggressive RC car UK bashing sessions, where batteries regularly encounter vibration, shock, and potential impacts from rough terrain and crashes.
