7.4V 1200mAh RC LiPo Battery for Remote Control Cars and Model Ships

This lithium polymer battery pack delivers 7.4 volts with a 1200 milliamp-hour capacity, designed to power 2S and some 3S configurations in radio-controlled models. Its primary use is supplying energy to the electronic speed controllers (ESCs) in remote control cars, trucks, buggies, and model ships or boats. The compact physical form factor makes it suitable for a range of scale vehicles where space within the chassis or hull is limited. With its stated voltage and capacity, it provides a balance between power output and operational duration for hobbyist and enthusiast use.

Features and Construction

This battery is built around lithium polymer cell technology, chosen for its ability to deliver high current relative to its size and weight. The pack is supplied as a single, ready-to-use unit with pre-attached power connectors, requiring compatibility checking with your model's electronics.

Material and Build

The battery utilises a lithium polymer (LiPo) chemistry, which is common in the RC hobby sector due to its high energy density and discharge rates. The cells are packaged into a single, hardcase or shrink-wrapped pack measuring 15mm in width. This construction is typical for RC applications where the battery may be subject to vibration and occasional impacts within a model vehicle.

Size and Practical Fit

The overall dimensions are 15mm wide by 36mm tall by 70mm long. These exact measurements allow you to verify whether the battery will physically fit into your specific model's designed battery tray or compartment. The relatively slender 15mm width can be advantageous in tight chassis layouts or narrow hulls in model boats.

Uses and Placement

This battery is intended as a direct power source for the electronic systems of radio-controlled models. Its 7.4V output is standard for many 2S brushless and brushed motor systems used in cars, trucks, and marine models.

Event or Professional Use

For club racing or casual bashing sessions with RC cars and trucks, the 1200mAh capacity provides a useful run time depending on the motor and driving style. In model boats, the same voltage and capacity can power small to medium-sized hulls for a satisfactory session on the water. Always check your speed controller's voltage specifications for compatibility.

Everyday Home Use

For home use, testing, and running models in gardens or parks, this battery offers a convenient power pack. Its size makes it suitable for a range of 1/18, 1/16, or 1/14 scale vehicles, and some smaller model boats. It is a single unit, so it is ready to use straight from the package after charging.

Benefits and Buying Value

The value of this product lies in its specification-matched design for the RC hobby and its clear, provided dimensions for fitment checking. It serves as a functional component rather than a complete system.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Like all LiPo batteries, this pack is rechargeable hundreds of times with proper care using a suitable balance charger. Its maintenance involves following standard LiPo safety protocols: storing at a safe voltage, not over-discharging, and inspecting regularly. The pack itself requires no internal maintenance.

Why Choose This Product

This battery is chosen when your RC model requires a 7.4V power source and the 15mm x 36mm x 70mm dimensions fit your available space. The 1200mAh capacity is a practical middle-ground, offering more run time than lower-capacity packs while remaining relatively compact. It is supplied as a single unit, making it a straightforward replacement or upgrade pack.
