This LiPo battery represents the perfect balance of capacity and performance for medium to large-scale RC cars that require robust power delivery without excessive weight penalties. The 5000mAh capacity ensures extended run times compared to smaller capacity packs, while the 60C discharge rating guarantees the aggressive current delivery needed for high-torque acceleration and consistent power under demanding load conditions. The soft case construction keeps weight minimal whilst maintaining cell protection, and the XT90 connector provides secure, reliable power connections with excellent contact reliability across multiple charge cycles.

RC car enthusiasts in the UK choosing a battery for their brushless RC vehicles will appreciate the Gens Ace reputation for quality, consistency and performance. This battery integrates seamlessly with modern brushless motor and ESC setups, making it an excellent choice whether you're upgrading an existing RC car or building a fresh basher setup from scratch.

Key Features

• 5000mAh High Capacity — The 5000mAh capacity provides extended runtime compared to smaller battery packs, allowing you to spend more time driving your RC car without frequent battery swaps, which is essential for serious bashers and competitive racers who demand consistency.
• 60C Discharge Rating — The 60C continuous discharge rate ensures your battery can deliver the high current demands of modern brushless motors and ESCs, enabling aggressive acceleration, sustained high-speed driving and reliable power under peak load conditions without voltage sag.
• 3S 11.1V Configuration — The three-cell (3S) lithium polymer construction delivers 11.1V nominal voltage, which is the standard for mid-to-high performance RC car applications, providing the optimal balance of power delivery and component compatibility with most modern RC car drivetrain setups.
• XT90 Connector — The XT90 connector plug is widely recognised across the RC hobby as providing superior contact reliability, excellent current handling and secure connections that resist accidental disconnection, making battery swaps safe and straightforward during multiple rounds of driving.
• Compact Dimensions — With dimensions of 135mm length, 43mm width and 26mm height, this battery pack maintains a compact footprint that fits within the battery compartments of most mid-sized RC cars, allowing you to maintain proper weight distribution and vehicle balance without modification.
• Lightweight Construction — At just 325g, this battery pack delivers substantial power without excessive weight, which is crucial for maintaining vehicle agility, acceleration and handling characteristics in off-road and bashing applications where nimbleness matters.
• G-Tech Bashing Series Engineering — This battery is part of Gens Ace's purpose-designed G-Tech Bashing line, which applies advanced battery chemistry and construction techniques specifically optimised for the demanding cycles, high current draws and rough treatment typical of RC car bashing.
• Soft Case Protection — The durable soft case construction protects the internal cells from physical damage whilst keeping overall weight to a minimum, ensuring your battery survives the inevitable impacts and rough handling of outdoor basher sessions.

Technical Performance

The Gens Ace G-Tech 5000mAh battery delivers professional-grade performance that stands up to the rigorous demands of modern RC car bashers and off-road drivers throughout the UK. The 60C discharge rating means this battery can safely provide 300 amps of continuous current (5000mAh × 60C = 300A), making it suitable for high-powered brushless systems running from 150A to 300A ESCs depending on your specific motor and gearing configuration. The 11.1V nominal voltage provides the voltage envelope needed to power brushless motors efficiently across their optimal RPM ranges, whilst the 3S1P cell architecture ensures balanced charge characteristics and reliable long-term cell health with proper charging procedures. The soft case design uses durable polymer materials that protect the internal lithium polymer cells from puncture and impact whilst remaining flexible enough to fit into confined battery compartments. The XT90 connector uses gold-plated contacts and a secure keying mechanism that prevents accidental reverse polarity connection, whilst the robust housing ensures the connector won't separate during high-vibration driving or aggressive handling. This battery integrates seamlessly with modern brushless RC car setups, including high-performance ESCs from manufacturers like Hobbywing and Spektrum, and works reliably with brushless motors ranging from 3000KV to 4600KV in typical 1/10 scale bashing configurations. The 5000mAh capacity delivers approximately 10-15 minutes of full-throttle driving time depending on motor size, gearing ratio and driving style, making multiple battery packs a practical investment for extended basher sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this battery suitable for my RC car UK setup? — The Gens Ace G-Tech 5000mAh 3S 60C battery is compatible with any RC car designed to accept a 3S 11.1V LiPo battery with an XT90 connector and sufficient space for a battery measuring 135mm × 43mm × 26mm. This includes most modern mid-to-large scale brushless RC cars, bashers and off-road competition vehicles. If your RC car currently accepts an XT90 connector, you can confirm compatibility by checking whether your battery compartment can accommodate the stated dimensions.
• What charger do I need for this 3S LiPo battery? — You will need a dedicated LiPo-capable charger that supports 3S lithium polymer batteries. The charger must have an XT90 compatible charging connector or an XT90-to-balance lead adapter. Modern multi-chemistry chargers from brands like Spektrum, Hobbywing and SKYRC all support 3S LiPo charging. Always charge using the balance lead connection to ensure individual cell monitoring and safe, balanced charging.
• How long does this battery take to charge? — Charge time depends on your charger's output capacity. Using a standard 1C charge rate (5 amps for this 5000mAh pack), full charge takes approximately one hour. Faster chargers capable of 2C or 3C charge rates can reduce charge time to 20-30 minutes, though charging at lower rates extends battery lifespan and improves long-term reliability.
• What is the difference between 60C and higher C-rating batteries? — The 60C rating indicates this battery can safely deliver 300 amps of continuous current (5000 × 60). Higher C-rated batteries (like 100C) can deliver greater current but typically cost more and are necessary only for extreme applications with motors drawing over 300 amps. For most bashers and off-road RC cars with mid-range brushless systems, the 60C rating provides ample headroom and excellent value.
• Can I use this battery in a ready to run RC car UK? — Only if your ready to run RC car features a brushless motor, modern ESC and specifically accepts 3S 11.1V LiPo batteries with an XT90 connector. Many entry-level ready to run cars use brushed motors and lower-voltage NiMH batteries, which are not compatible with this LiPo pack. Check your vehicle's manual or specifications to confirm LiPo compatibility before purchasing.
• How should I store this LiPo battery? — Store the battery in a cool, dry location away from extreme temperatures. For extended storage (more than two weeks), charge the battery to approximately 50 percent capacity and store in a fireproof LiPo storage bag. This practice maintains cell chemistry balance and ensures the battery remains in optimal condition for your next bashing session.
• What makes Gens Ace batteries different from other brands? — Gens Ace has built a reputation for consistent quality and reliable performance across their product range. The G-Tech Bashing series specifically applies advanced cell chemistry and construction techniques optimised for high-drain, high-current-draw applications. Real-world feedback from UK RC enthusiasts consistently rates Gens Ace batteries for longevity, cell balancing reliability and predictable performance across multiple charge cycles.
