Overview

The GENSACE Li-Po Car Hard Case G-Tech 4S 14.8V 5500mAh 60C with XT90 connector is a premium lithium polymer battery pack designed to deliver exceptional performance and extended run times for RC car enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're racing competitively or bashing for fun, this hard case LiPo battery combines robust construction with advanced chemistry to provide the power and reliability that serious RC car drivers demand. Built with superior lithium polymer raw materials sourced from Japan and Korea, this battery pack represents the ideal choice for anyone seeking consistent output and durability in their RC car UK setup.

This 4S1P configuration delivers 14.8 volts of nominal power, making it perfectly suited for many 1/8 scale RC car models including high-performance racing buggies and truggies. The 5500mAh capacity ensures you'll enjoy extended play sessions without needing to swap batteries as frequently, whilst the 60C maximum continuous discharge rating provides the responsive acceleration and sustained power delivery that competitive and recreational drivers alike require. The hard case construction sets this battery apart from soft-pack alternatives, offering genuine protection for your investment whether you're running on track or trail.

RC Model Shop stocks this authentic GENSACE battery because we recognise the importance of quality power delivery in the RC hobby. This is not a budget compromise—it's engineered for drivers who understand that their battery pack is every bit as critical to their RC car performance as their motor, ESC, or suspension setup.

Key Features

• Hard Case Construction — The durable hard case exterior provides solid physical protection for your battery pack during transport and on the track, preventing damage from impacts and rough handling that could compromise the cells or connectors, ensuring your investment stays protected throughout the season.
• 4S1P 14.8V Configuration — This four-series single-parallel arrangement delivers 14.8 nominal volts, the standard voltage specification for 1/8 scale RC car racing and high-performance bashers, providing optimal compatibility with most modern brushless ESCs and motors designed for this application class.
• 5500mAh Capacity — The substantial 5500 milliamp-hour capacity delivers extended run times compared to smaller capacity packs, allowing you to spend more time driving and enjoying your RC car before requiring a recharge, which translates to better value and more fun per battery cycle.
• 60C Maximum Continuous Discharge — This rating indicates the battery can safely deliver current at up to 60 times its capacity continuously, meaning for a 5500mAh pack this equates to 330 amps of available current, providing the explosive acceleration and sustained power needed for competitive racing and aggressive driving styles.
• XT90 Discharge Connector — The XT90 connector is engineered for secure, low-resistance power delivery, featuring robust gold-plated contacts that minimise voltage drop and heat generation during high-current discharge, ensuring maximum efficiency and preventing the connection issues that can plague lesser quality connectors.
• Advanced Stacking Technology — The battery utilises advanced cell stacking techniques developed through professional RC racing applications, enabling individual cells to achieve and maintain their specified capacity ratings, resulting in more reliable and consistent power delivery throughout the charge cycle.
• Superior Raw Materials — Manufactured using premium lithium polymer materials sourced exclusively from Japan and Korea, these cells undergo rigorous quality control to ensure they meet the demanding specifications required for high-performance RC car applications rather than generic consumer electronics.
• Designed for 1/8 Scale Compatibility — This pack is specifically engineered and tested for compatibility with the majority of popular 1/8 scale RC car models, including competition racing buggies, stadium trucks, and high-speed truggies that dominate the UK RC racing scene.

Technical Performance

The GENSACE G-Tech hard case battery represents a significant step forward in RC car battery technology. Built with meticulous attention to engineering detail, this pack combines the lightweight efficiency demanded by competitive drivers with the physical durability needed for the rigours of regular racing and bashing. The 5500mAh capacity paired with the 60C discharge rating creates a power delivery curve that accommodates both the sustained current demands of sustained high-speed running and the peak current requirements of aggressive acceleration. The advanced stacking technology utilised in these cells means that voltage sag—the performance degradation experienced as batteries discharge—is minimised, keeping your RC car responsive and powerful throughout the entire run. At 497 grams, this battery pack offers a well-balanced weight that fits within the design parameters of most 1/8 scale vehicles without creating trim or balance issues. The XT90 connector specification is not arbitrary; this is the connector of choice for high-current applications because its engineering minimises resistance and the associated heat generation that degrades battery performance and lifespan. Combined with the hard case protection, you're investing in a battery system that will deliver consistent performance lap after lap, race after race, and season after season. The 138.5 × 46.2 × 49.2mm dimensions allow this pack to fit within the battery compartments of vehicles designed for 4S LiPo packs, making integration straightforward for owners of modern RC cars UK-wide.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this battery suitable for 1/8 scale RC buggy racing? — Yes, absolutely. The GENSACE G-Tech 4S 14.8V 5500mAh 60C pack is specifically designed and recommended for 1/8 scale RC car applications, particularly racing buggies and truggies that demand consistent high-current delivery and extended run times during competitive sessions.
• What does the 60C discharge rating actually mean for my RC car? — The 60C rating indicates that this 5500mAh battery can safely and continuously deliver up to 330 amps of current (5500mAh × 60 = 330A). This specification ensures the pack can supply the sustained high current required for aggressive acceleration and high-speed driving without voltage collapse or damage to the cells.
• Will this battery fit in my RC car? — The GENSACE pack measures 138.5 × 46.2 × 49.2mm and weighs 497 grams. This size and weight specification makes it compatible with most 1/8 scale RC car battery bays designed for 4S LiPo packs. However, individual models vary, so we recommend checking your specific vehicle's manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop for compatibility confirmation before purchasing.
• How long will the battery last between charges? — Run time depends on multiple factors including your specific RC car model, driving style, motor and ESC combination, and terrain. The 5500mAh capacity provides significantly longer run times than smaller capacity packs, but precise duration requires matching this battery to your specific RC car setup. Contact our team for detailed recommendations for your model.
• What is the difference between this hard case LiPo and soft-pack alternatives? — The hard case construction provides crucial physical protection during transport and track use, preventing punctures and impacts that could damage soft-pack cells. Hard cases also offer better thermal management and provide confidence that your battery won't deform or suffer cosmetic damage from regular use, making them the preferred choice for serious racers.
• Do I need a special charger for this 4S LiPo battery? — Yes, you will need a battery charger explicitly designed for lithium polymer charging that supports 4S packs. Your existing NiMH or NiCd charger will not work and could damage the battery. Most modern RC battery chargers sold in the UK support 4S LiPo charging, but always verify the charger specifications before purchasing.
• What does the XT90 connector provide compared to other connectors? — The XT90 is a gold-plated, high-current connector designed specifically for demanding RC applications. It offers superior contact reliability, minimal voltage drop, and excellent current handling compared to older XT60 or Deans connectors, making it ideal for high-discharge-rate applications like competitive RC racing.
