Key Features
- 5000mAh Capacity — With 5000 milliamp-hours of storage, this battery delivers extended runtime compared to smaller capacity packs, allowing you to spend more time driving and less time charging. The generous capacity is ideal for larger RC vehicles and longer racing sessions.
- 11.1V 3S Configuration — The three-cell (3S) lithium polymer configuration provides 11.1 volts nominal output, which is the standard for mid-range RC applications including brushless motors commonly found in modern ready to run RC cars, buggies and trucks. This voltage specification makes it compatible with a wide range of brushless ESC systems.
- 50C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 50C continuous discharge rating means this battery can safely deliver 250 amps of current continuously (5000mAh × 50C = 250A), providing powerful acceleration and responsive throttle control even under demanding racing conditions. This high discharge rate ensures that brushless motors receive the current they demand without voltage sag.
- Hard Case Protection — Unlike standard soft-case LiPo batteries, this pack features a rigid hard shell case surrounding the cells. This hard case provides exceptional protection against impacts, punctures and deformation, extending the lifespan of your battery and maintaining its structural integrity even when your RC vehicle is driven hard.
- Low-Profile Stick Pack Design — The compact stick pack form factor is engineered to fit into tight battery compartments found in many modern RC vehicles. The 139 × 47 × 39mm dimensions make installation straightforward without requiring custom trays or modifications to your RC car's chassis.
- XT90 Connector Pre-Fitted — This battery arrives with an XT90 connector already installed, delivering strong, reliable current transfer with minimal resistance. The XT90 is recognised as a high-current connector standard in the RC hobby, offering superior contact integrity compared to lesser connectors.
- Strain Relief Clip for Balance Lead — A dedicated strain relief clip protects the delicate balance cable from damage during installation, removal and storage. This thoughtful engineering detail prevents balance lead failures that could compromise battery monitoring and safe charging.
- 55.5 Watt-Hour Energy Rating — The total energy capacity of 55.5Wh represents a good balance between runtime and battery weight, making this pack suitable for a wide range of RC vehicle types without adding excessive heft to your setup.
Technical Performance
Built with quality materials and precision engineering, the Voltz 5000mAh LiPo battery represents a significant step up from budget alternatives. The hard case construction uses rigid polymer material designed to withstand the rigours of RC driving, whether you're bashing through terrain, racing competitively, or performing high-speed circuits. The internal cell arrangement delivers the full 50C continuous discharge rating, meaning your brushless motor receives consistent voltage under load, eliminating the voltage sag that can reduce acceleration and responsiveness. The 11.1V (3S) specification makes this battery ideal for brushless RC applications where ESC and motor manufacturers design their systems around 3S power inputs. With 5000mAh of capacity, you'll enjoy extended driving sessions compared to lower-capacity alternatives, which is particularly valuable for club racing where pit time eats into your running time. The combination of hard case protection, high discharge rating, quality manufacturing and XT90 connectivity makes this Voltz battery a reliable choice for anyone serious about their RC performance, whether you're running a 1/10 scale brushless buggy, RC monster truck, RC car or similar platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Voltz 5000mAh LiPo battery compatible with brushless RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. The 11.1V (3S) specification is the standard voltage for brushless RC motors and ESCs found in modern ready to run and competition-level RC vehicles. The 50C discharge rating provides plenty of current for high-performance brushless setups. However, always check your specific RC vehicle's manual to confirm it accepts 3S LiPo batteries before purchasing.
- What does the 50C discharge rating mean? — The 50C rating indicates the maximum continuous current this battery can safely deliver, calculated by multiplying the capacity (5000mAh) by the C rating (50). This equals 250 amps of continuous discharge capability, which is essential for brushless motors that demand high current during acceleration and sustained high-speed driving.
- How long will this battery last on a single charge? — Runtime depends on multiple factors including your RC vehicle's motor power, weight, driving style and terrain. Typical runtime ranges from 10 to 25 minutes of continuous driving, though competitive drivers may experience shorter times due to more aggressive throttle use. The 5000mAh capacity provides longer runtime than smaller batteries, making it excellent for extended bashing sessions or racing meets.
- Can I use this battery with my ready to run RC model? — Yes, if your RTR model accepts 3S LiPo batteries and features an XT90 connector socket, this Voltz battery is a direct fit. Many brushless RTR vehicles, particularly those lacking batteries as standard, are specifically designed to accept 3S LiPo packs. Always verify your vehicle's compatibility and check the manual before purchasing.
- What's the advantage of the hard case over a soft-case battery? — Hard case LiPo batteries offer superior physical protection against impacts and punctures that can damage internal cells. The rigid shell prevents the battery from deforming inside your RC vehicle's battery compartment, which extends overall battery lifespan and maintains consistent electrical performance. Hard cases are the standard choice for serious RC racers and regular users.
- Is the XT90 connector suitable for high-current applications? — Yes, the XT90 is specifically designed for high-current RC applications. It provides superior contact integrity and lower resistance compared to smaller connectors, making it ideal for 50C batteries that demand reliable power delivery. The XT90 is industry-standard for batteries in this performance category.
- How should I store this battery when not in use? — Store the Voltz LiPo battery in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Ideally, store at room temperature with a partial charge (around 3.8V per cell). Never leave the battery fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods. Always keep balance cables intact and protected.
- What makes Voltz batteries a good choice compared to other brands? — Voltz batteries are tested and developed in conjunction with one of the world's leading battery manufacturers, ensuring genuine quality and performance standards. They offer excellent value for money with professional-grade specifications like hard cases, high discharge ratings and proper strain relief engineering, making them a smart choice for both casual and competitive RC enthusiasts.
