• High-Speed RC Boats & Hydroplanes: Delivering rapid RPM power to high-Kv brushless marine motor setups and speed controllers.

Usage Tips

• Dedicated 4S Balance Charging (Mandatory): Always charge using a dedicated LiPo balance charger set strictly to 4S LiPo mode (14.8V nominal / 16.8V max) in Balance Charge Mode. Always connect both the main XT60 plug and the 5-pin JST-XH balance lead to ensure balanced cell voltages.
• Charging Current Guideline: Charge at 1C (2.2A) for regular usage. Never charge unattended, and always charge on a fireproof surface inside a flame-resistant LiPo safety bag or metal ammo can.
• Discharge Thresholds & Cutoff Setup:
  • Maximum Charged Limit: 4.20V per cell (16.80V total). Never overcharge.
  • Safe Flight Cut-Off: Configure your flight controller (Betaflight / INAV) or ESC low-voltage cutoff (LVC) to 3.5V–3.6V per cell (14.0V–14.4V total). Discharging below 3.0V per cell (12.0V total) causes irreversible cell damage, increased internal resistance, and swelling (puffing).
• Storage Voltage Rule (3.80V–3.85V): If the battery will not be used for more than 48 hours, run the charger's "Storage" function to set each cell between 3.80V and 3.85V (~15.2V to 15.4V total). Storing LiPo packs at full charge (16.8V) or fully flat accelerates internal chemical degradation.
• Thermal & Physical Safety: Allow the pack to cool down to ambient room temperature before recharging. Never charge a hot battery immediately after flight. If a pack is punctured, bent, or exhibits physical puffing/ballooning, discontinue use immediately and submerge in salt water for safe terminal deactivation.
