This plug-in harness simplifies the process of combining two battery packs without requiring permanent modifications or complex wiring, making it an ideal solution for RC car and truck users who need increased voltage for higher performance. Whether you're running an RC car, RC truck, or other RC vehicle using Tamiya-style battery connectors, this adaptor provides a straightforward and reliable way to achieve a 4S equivalent voltage setup.
Built by Etronix, a recognised brand in RC accessories and electronics, this battery harness adaptor is designed for straightforward use at the bench or track. The product is engineered to help simplify series wiring configurations without requiring you to permanently solder or modify your existing battery packs, which is particularly valuable if you want to maintain flexibility in how you configure your RC power system. This makes it an excellent addition to any RC enthusiast's toolkit, whether you're a seasoned competitor, a weekend basher, or just discovering the world of RC for the first time.
For the best results with this adaptor, ensure that your ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), motor, and wiring are all rated for the combined voltage output of two 2S packs running in series. Additionally, make sure your batteries and connectors are in good condition before use. This simple check will ensure safe and reliable operation of your RC setup.
Key Features
- Tamiya Connector Compatibility — This harness uses Tamiya-style connectors on both ends, ensuring perfect compatibility with any RC car, truck, or other RC vehicle that features Tamiya battery connectors, which are among the most common connector types found on RC vehicles across the UK.
- Series Configuration Design — The harness is specifically engineered to link two 2S battery packs together in series, which combines their voltages to create a 4S equivalent power source, allowing you to achieve higher performance without purchasing new batteries.
- No Permanent Modifications Required — Unlike soldering or permanently wiring packs together, this plug-in harness allows you to connect and disconnect your battery packs instantly, giving you flexibility to reconfigure your power setup as needed.
- Compact and Portable Design — The harness is lightweight and takes up minimal space, making it easy to transport to the track, field, or wherever you enjoy running your RC vehicles.
- Straightforward Installation — Simply connect the male Tamiya connectors from each of your 2S packs to the corresponding connectors on the harness, and you're ready to run with increased voltage and performance.
- Quality Construction — Built by Etronix with attention to detail, this adaptor harness features reliable connectors and wiring suitable for RC applications requiring a series battery configuration.
Technical Performance
The Etronix Tamiya 2S Battery Harness For 2 Packs In Series Adaptor is engineered specifically for linking two 2S LiPo battery packs in series to create a 4S equivalent voltage output. This configuration allows RC vehicles that would normally run on a 4S battery pack to instead use two 2S packs through this harness adaptor. The harness features Tamiya-style connectors, which are widely recognised and used throughout the RC hobby community in the UK and internationally. The construction prioritises reliability and safe operation, with properly rated connectors and quality wiring suitable for the power demands of RC applications. By connecting two 2S packs in series, you effectively double the voltage (from 7.4V per 2S pack to approximately 14.8V total), which can provide increased speed and power to compatible RC cars and trucks. Before using this adaptor, ensure that your ESC is rated for 4S LiPo operation, your motor can handle the increased voltage, and all your connectors and wiring are in good working condition. This simple verification ensures optimal safety and performance with your RC vehicle setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does this battery harness adaptor actually do? — The Etronix Tamiya 2S Battery Harness connects two 2S LiPo battery packs together in series through Tamiya-style connectors. When connected in series, two 2S packs (7.4V each) combine to create a 4S equivalent voltage output (approximately 14.8V total). This allows RC vehicles designed for 4S operation to run using two separate 2S packs instead of a single 4S battery, giving you flexibility in your power configuration.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this adaptor is very beginner-friendly. It requires no soldering, no permanent modifications, and no technical expertise. You simply plug in your two 2S battery packs to the respective connectors on the harness, and you're ready to go. If you're new to RC cars or RC trucks and want to experiment with different voltage configurations, this harness provides a safe and simple way to do so.
- What battery packs does this need? — This adaptor requires two 2S LiPo battery packs with Tamiya-style connectors. Any standard 2S LiPo battery commonly available in the UK RC market will work perfectly with this harness, as long as it features Tamiya connectors. The harness does not specify a particular capacity, so you can use 2S packs of any mAh rating compatible with your RC vehicle.
- What are the safety considerations when using this harness? — Before using this series battery harness, verify that your ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) is rated for 4S LiPo operation, as running two 2S packs in series will create approximately 14.8V output. Ensure your motor is also rated for this voltage. Inspect all connectors and wiring on both your battery packs and the harness itself to confirm they are in good condition before each use. Proper battery and connector maintenance is essential for safe RC operation.
- Can I use this harness with any RC vehicle? — This harness is compatible with any RC car, RC truck, or other RC vehicle that features Tamiya-style battery connectors and an ESC rated for 4S LiPo operation. It's commonly used with RC cars and RC trucks that support series battery configurations. Always check your vehicle's documentation to confirm it supports 4S operation before using this adaptor.
- How is this different from other battery adaptors? — This harness is specifically designed for series battery configuration using Tamiya connectors. Unlike Y-extension adaptors that allow parallel connection of batteries, or conversion adaptors that change connector types, this product is engineered solely for linking two 2S packs in series. If you need a parallel setup or a different connector type, you would need a different adaptor.
