Key Features
- 5200mAh Capacity — The substantial 5200mAh capacity ensures extended run times, allowing you to enjoy longer sessions with your RC car or aircraft before requiring a recharge. This generous capacity is ideal for weekend bashers and competitive drivers alike who want to maximise their time on track or in the air without frequent battery swaps.
- 22.2V 6S LiPo Chemistry — As a genuine 6S (six-cell series) LiPo battery, this pack delivers 22.2V nominal voltage, providing the substantial electrical potential required for high-performance RC applications. The 6S configuration is widely used across the RC hobby for vehicles and aircraft requiring serious power output and responsive throttle control.
- 30C Continuous Discharge Rating — The 30C maximum continuous discharge specification means this battery can safely deliver 156 amps of current continuously (5200mAh × 30C), making it suitable for moderate to high-performance RC setups that demand consistent current draw without voltage sag.
- XT90 Output Connector — The XT90 connector is a gold-plated, low-resistance connection standard that ensures reliable power transfer with minimal voltage drop. This industrial-standard connector is widely compatible with quality RC equipment and ESCs across the market, making integration into existing setups straightforward.
- Strain Relief Clip Protection — The fitted strain relief clip specifically protects the delicate balance lead connector, preventing accidental damage that could otherwise lead to cell imbalance or pack failure. This thoughtful addition significantly improves battery longevity and safety during charging and operation.
- Compact, Robust Case Design — Measuring just 137 x 52 x 41 mm, this battery's compact footprint allows it to fit into a wide variety of RC vehicles and aircraft without requiring custom mounting or modifications. The soft case construction provides impact protection whilst keeping overall weight minimal.
- 115.44Wh Energy Rating — The energy density rating of 115.44 watt-hours reflects the substantial usable energy stored within this pack, directly translating to longer flight times for aircraft or extended bash sessions for RC cars and trucks.
- Practical 145mm Lead Length — The approximately 145mm wire length (±10mm tolerance) provides genuine flexibility in battery placement and installation across different RC models, allowing proper positioning for optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics.
Technical Performance
The Voltz 5200mAh 22.2V 30C LiPo Battery represents solid engineering designed specifically for RC hobbyists who need reliable, consistent power delivery. At 700 grams, this pack offers a genuine capacity advantage over lighter alternatives whilst maintaining a weight profile that doesn't compromise vehicle handling or aircraft flight characteristics. The 6S LiPo chemistry utilises six lithium polymer cells configured in series, delivering 22.2V nominal voltage that progressively decreases to approximately 18V as the cells discharge during use. The 30C continuous discharge rating is particularly important—it indicates the maximum safe current draw without risk of damage or thermal issues, calculated at 156 amps for this specific 5200mAh capacity. This specification makes the battery suitable for RC vehicles equipped with quality brushless ESCs and motors demanding substantial current, from competitive-grade RC buggies to high-performance RC trucks and aircraft systems. The XT90 connector uses gold-plated contacts and a mechanical design that minimises internal resistance, ensuring the lowest possible voltage drop between battery and ESC. The soft-case construction, whilst less visually striking than hard cases, provides excellent protection against impact whilst keeping weight to a minimum. The strain relief clip adds genuine value by protecting the balance lead—a feature that many budget batteries omit but which directly impacts battery lifespan and safe charging performance. For UK RC enthusiasts running 6S LiPo systems, the practical 145mm lead length allows flexible mounting in most contemporary RC models without the need for extensions or modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC vehicles and aircraft is this 6S LiPo battery suitable for? — The Voltz 5200mAh 22.2V 6S battery is designed for radio control vehicles and aircraft specifically engineered for 6S LiPo power. This includes high-performance RC buggies, RC trucks, RC cars, and various RC aircraft. Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle's motor and ESC are rated for 6S LiPo operation, as attempting to use this battery in equipment designed for lower cell counts (3S or 4S) will cause damage. The XT90 connector must also match your existing ESC connector for direct compatibility.
- How long will this battery last during use? — The 5200mAh capacity and 30C discharge rating mean run times depend entirely on your specific RC vehicle and driving style. In general, a 5200mAh battery in a moderate-performance RC car might provide 15-25 minutes of continuous running, whilst high-performance vehicles drawing maximum current could achieve 10-15 minutes. Aircraft flight times typically extend longer due to more consistent, lower current draw. For competitive use, most RC drivers operate multiple batteries in rotation.
- Is the XT90 connector compatible with my RC setup? — The XT90 connector is an industry-standard gold-plated connector widely used across quality RC equipment. However, not all RC vehicles use XT90 connectors—some use alternative standards such as EC3, EC5, XT60, or T-connector types. Before purchasing, verify that your ESC features an XT90 female connector, or alternatively budget for a quality connector adapter (which we do not recommend as a long-term solution due to increased resistance).
- What does the 30C discharge rating mean for my RC performance? — The 30C continuous discharge rating indicates this battery can safely deliver up to 156 amps of current continuously without thermal or performance issues. This specification suits moderate to high-performance RC setups. Vehicles with less demanding power requirements (such as crawler-style RC buggies or slow-speed aircraft) would not utilise the full 30C capability but would still benefit from the battery's reliability and capacity. High-performance racing setups might benefit from higher C-rating batteries, though the Voltz 5200mAh represents good value for general RC use.
- How should I charge and maintain this LiPo battery? — Always use a dedicated LiPo charger capable of balancing individual cells during charging. The 5200mAh capacity requires appropriate charging times—typically 2-4 hours at 1C charging rates depending on your charger specification. Never use car chargers or generic power supplies designed for other battery types. After each use, inspect the battery for physical damage, swelling, or leakage. Store the battery in a cool, dry location at storage voltage (approximately 3.8V per cell, or 22.8V for this 6S pack). Proper LiPo maintenance directly extends battery lifespan and ensures safe operation.
- Will this battery fit inside my RC vehicle? — The compact dimensions of 137 x 52 x 41 mm suit most contemporary RC vehicles engineered for 6S LiPo packs. However, space varies significantly between different models. Before purchasing, measure the available battery space in your specific vehicle and verify that these dimensions will fit without requiring physical modifications to the chassis or battery box. The approximately 145mm lead length provides reasonable flexibility for different battery compartment orientations.
- Is this battery suitable for beginners to RC? — The Voltz 5200mAh is a serious, high-capacity battery suited to drivers with existing experience in LiPo battery care and RC setup. Beginners to the RC hobby should first understand LiPo charging requirements, storage procedures, and safety protocols before operating this battery. The 6S specification and 30C discharge rating indicate this is not an entry-level battery—it's engineered for vehicles with established performance requirements. Beginners should start with lower-capacity, lower-voltage packs and work upwards as they develop expertise.
