Key Features
- 3300mAh Capacity — This substantial capacity provides extended runtime for your RC vehicle or aircraft, allowing you to enjoy longer sessions before needing to return to the charger. The 3300mAh rating sits in the sweet spot for balance between runtime and weight, making it ideal for most RC car, truck and aircraft applications.
- 14.8V 4S Configuration — The four-cell (4S) LiPo configuration delivers a nominal voltage of 14.8V, which is the standard power requirement for many modern RC vehicles. This voltage is sufficient to provide strong acceleration and responsive throttle control across a wide range of brushless motor setups.
- 30C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 30C rating means this battery can safely deliver 99 amps of continuous current (3300mAh x 30C = 99A), providing plenty of power headroom for demanding driving situations, aggressive acceleration, and sustained high-power runs. This makes the battery suitable for everything from mild cruising to more spirited RC driving.
- XT60 Connector — The XT60 connector is the industry standard for mid-range to high-performance RC applications. This connector type ensures excellent compatibility with modern RC equipment throughout the UK hobby market, from budget-friendly ESCs to premium competition-grade controllers.
- Strain Relief Balance Lead Clip — Included with this battery, the strain relief clip protects the delicate four-pin balance connector lead from damage during use, storage and charging. This feature extends battery lifespan and reduces the risk of connector failure, which can occur if the balance lead is bent or stressed repeatedly.
- Compact Dimensions — Measuring just 135mm x 25mm x 44mm, this battery is compact enough to fit into many modern RC chassis designs without requiring extensive modifications. The narrow 25mm width is particularly beneficial for vehicles with space constraints around the battery compartment.
- Soft Case Construction — The battery features a protective soft case that provides cushioning against impacts and vibrations whilst remaining flexible enough to conform to various chassis battery trays. This design balances protection with practical usability.
- 48.84 Watt-Hour Energy — The 48.84Wh capacity indicates the total energy stored in the battery, a useful specification for comparing energy output across different battery brands and configurations. This energy level is substantial enough for meaningful runtime without being so large as to create handling or mounting difficulties.
Technical Performance
The Voltz 3300mAh 14.8V 30C LiPo battery represents solid engineering and reliable performance for the RC hobbyist. With a maximum continuous discharge rating of 30C, this pack can deliver substantial current to high-performance brushless motor setups without voltage sag or power loss. The 4S (four-cell) configuration at 14.8V nominal voltage is the gold standard for modern RC vehicles, particularly for 1/10-scale buggies, short-course trucks, and mid-range RC aircraft. At 331 grams, the weight is well-balanced for its capacity, ensuring you won't add excessive unsprung weight to your vehicle whilst still enjoying the benefits of extended runtime. The construction quality is evident in the attention to detail, from the strain relief clip protecting the balance lead to the robust XT60 connector that provides secure, reliable power delivery. For UK RC enthusiasts running brushless motors in the 2200-3000KV range, this battery will provide excellent response and power delivery across the full throttle range. The 48.84Wh energy rating indicates this is a serious power source, not an entry-level toy, making it equally suitable for the casual weekend basher and the more experienced RC car or aircraft pilot.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What charger do I need for the Voltz 3300mAh 14.8V 30C LiPo battery? — You'll need a LiPo charger capable of charging 4S (14.8V) batteries with an XT60 connector. A charger that can deliver 3.3 amps will fully charge this battery in approximately one hour. Many modern RC hobby chargers sold in the UK are fully compatible with this battery's specifications. Look for chargers that specifically support 4S LiPo charging with balance lead functionality to ensure safe, optimal charging.
- Is this battery suitable for my RC car or aircraft? — The Voltz 3300mAh 14.8V 30C LiPo is compatible with any RC vehicle or aircraft that requires a 4S LiPo battery with an XT60 connector. This includes most modern 1/10-scale electric RC cars, trucks, buggies, crawlers, and mid-range RC aircraft. Check your vehicle's manual or specification sheet to confirm it supports 4S LiPo batteries before purchasing.
- What does the 30C discharge rating mean, and is it sufficient for my needs? — The 30C continuous discharge rating indicates this battery can safely deliver 30 times its capacity in amps continuously. For this 3300mAh battery, that equals approximately 99 amps of sustained current. This is more than sufficient for brushless motor systems commonly found in RC cars, trucks and aircraft. Unless you're running extremely high-KV motors or competition-spec racing setups, the 30C rating provides ample power delivery capability.
- How long will this battery last during use? — Runtime depends on your specific RC vehicle, motor setup, driving style and terrain. Generally, you can expect 15-25 minutes of continuous driving with a brushless motor system. Aggressive driving with rapid acceleration will reduce runtime; gentler cruising will extend it. For RC aircraft, flight times of 8-12 minutes are typical, depending on aircraft weight and flying style.
- What is the difference between this Voltz battery and more expensive alternatives? — Voltz offers excellent value without compromising on performance or safety. Whilst premium battery brands may offer marginal improvements in cell selection or ultra-high discharge ratings, the Voltz 3300mAh delivers dependable performance for the vast majority of UK RC hobbyists. The 30C rating is perfectly adequate for standard brushless setups, and the quality construction with strain relief protection ensures longevity.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. This Voltz battery is an excellent choice for newcomers to the RC hobby. The 14.8V 4S voltage is the modern standard, making it compatible with most current RC equipment. The XT60 connector is widely supported, and the battery's performance characteristics are forgiving and predictable. Beginners should ensure they use a proper LiPo charger with balance lead charging capability and follow safety guidelines for LiPo handling and storage.
- How should I care for and store this battery? — Store your Voltz LiPo battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50% capacity (around 14.8V for a 4S pack) and store at room temperature. Never store a fully charged or completely discharged battery for extended periods. Always use the balance lead strain relief clip to protect the connector from damage during storage and transport.
