Key Features

• 4S 14.8V Configuration — The four-cell series arrangement delivers a nominal voltage of 14.8V (ranging from 16.8V fully charged to 12V depleted), providing the exact voltage specification required by EDF jets, warbirds and sport RC models that demand consistent power delivery for optimal motor performance and flight characteristics.
• 2700mAh Capacity — This 2700mAh capacity provides a useful flight duration and sufficient power reserve for extended RC sessions, allowing pilots to enjoy longer flights before requiring a recharge, making it ideal for competitive flying or recreational weekend activities.
• 50C Continuous Discharge Rate (100C Burst) — The impressive 50C continuous discharge rate (with 100C burst capability) means this battery can deliver extremely high current output without voltage sag, making it perfectly suited to high-powered electric motors found in EDF jets, large-scale RC aircraft and performance-oriented RC vehicles that demand instant throttle response and sustained high power delivery.
• XT60 Connector — The universally accepted XT60 connector ensures compatibility with the vast majority of modern RC equipment, ESCs and chargers available in the UK RC hobby market, eliminating the need for expensive adapter cables or compatibility concerns when integrating this battery into your existing RC setup.
• Compact Soft Case Design — Measuring just 108 x 35 x 35mm and weighing a modest 280g, this battery features a soft case construction that enables installation in tight airframe spaces where larger or bulkier battery packs simply won't fit, whilst the manageable weight helps maintain optimal centre of gravity in your RC models.
• Reliable Radient Brand — Radient batteries are recognised across the global RC hobby community for consistent quality, reliable performance and rigorous quality control, giving you confidence that your investment in this battery will deliver dependable power session after session.

Technical Performance

The Radient LiPo 4S 2700mAh 14.8V 50C XT60 battery represents a carefully engineered balance of power delivery, weight and capacity tailored specifically for RC aircraft and high-performance electric vehicles. The 50C continuous discharge rating delivers up to 135 amps of current (calculated at 2700mAh × 50C), with an impressive 100C burst rating that can supply even higher currents during peak demand moments. This exceptional discharge capability ensures minimal voltage sag during aggressive acceleration or high-speed manoeuvres, maintaining steady voltage delivery to your motor and ESC throughout the flight or drive cycle. The 4S (four-cell series) 14.8V nominal voltage configuration is the industry standard for EDF jets, making it immediately compatible with Arrows Hobby aircraft including the popular Marlin EDF 910mm, Husky, Edge 540 (1300mm) and F-86 64mm EDF models, plus countless other RC warbirds and sport aircraft. The soft case construction provides adequate protection against impact damage whilst keeping overall weight to a lean 280g, crucial for maintaining optimal power-to-weight ratios in aircraft applications. The XT60 connector is crimped with precision to ensure ultra-low resistance connections, minimising power loss between battery and ESC. For UK-based RC enthusiasts operating EDF jets, RC warbirds or any performance-oriented electric RC models, this battery delivers the engineering quality and performance characteristics demanded by serious fliers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Radient 4S 2700mAh LiPo suitable for EDF jet applications? — Yes, this battery is specifically recommended for EDF jets and warbirds. The 50C discharge rate and 14.8V nominal voltage are perfectly matched to the demanding requirements of electric ducted fan motors, providing the high current delivery and consistent voltage needed for reliable EDF performance. It is particularly popular for Arrows Hobby EDF aircraft models.
• What is the difference between the 50C continuous rating and the 100C burst rating? — The 50C continuous rating indicates the maximum sustained current this battery can safely deliver over extended periods without degradation, calculated as capacity (2700mAh) multiplied by the C-rating (50), resulting in 135 amps continuous. The 100C burst rating allows for short-term current spikes of up to 270 amps during acceleration or high-demand moments, lasting only seconds before returning to normal discharge levels. This dual-rating system ensures the battery can handle both sustained flight operations and sudden power demands.
• How long will this battery keep my RC model flying? — Flight duration depends on your specific RC model's power consumption, which varies based on motor size, ESC settings, flying style and weight. As a general guideline, the 2700mAh capacity provides a useful flight duration suitable for recreational flying and practice sessions. Aggressive, high-power flying will consume the battery faster than gentle, cruising flight. Always monitor your battery voltage and land before the battery becomes fully depleted.
• Can I use this battery in models other than EDF jets? — Absolutely. Whilst designed primarily for EDF jets and warbirds, the 4S 14.8V configuration and XT60 connector make this battery compatible with any RC model or vehicle (including RC cars, trucks, crawlers and helicopters) that is specifically designed for 4S LiPo battery operation. Always verify your RC model's battery specifications before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
• Is this battery suitable for beginners? — This battery is recommended for users aged 14 and upwards with RC experience. LiPo batteries require proper handling, charging and storage to operate safely. Beginners should ensure they understand LiPo battery safety protocols, including proper charging procedures, safe storage practices, and low voltage alarm usage before operating this battery. If you are new to RC hobbies, we recommend seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts or our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop.
• What does the XT60 connector mean? — XT60 is a gold-plated connector type widely recognised and standardised across the RC hobby industry. It provides secure connection between your battery and RC equipment with minimal power loss. Most modern RC vehicles, aircraft and chargers in the UK market use XT60 connectors, ensuring broad compatibility. If your equipment uses a different connector type, adapter cables are available but we recommend standardising on XT60 for convenience.
• How should I store and maintain this LiPo battery? — LiPo batteries should be stored in a cool, dry location at a partial charge state (approximately 3.8V per cell, or around 15.2V for this 4S pack) when not in use for extended periods. Never leave a LiPo battery fully charged or fully discharged for weeks at a time. Before each use, inspect the battery for swelling, damage or leakage. After flying or driving, allow the battery to cool before charging. Always use a LiPo-compatible charger and never leave charging batteries unattended.
• What is the weight and dimensions of this battery? — The Radient 4S 2700mAh battery weighs 280g (9.88oz) and measures 108 x 35 x 35mm (4.25 x 1.38 x 1.38 inches). The compact dimensions and relatively light weight make it ideal for installation in airframes and vehicles where space and weight are critical factors.
