The LiPower 7.4V 2200mAh 2S 80C Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) Battery Pack with XT60 Plug is a high-discharge, premium-grade rechargeable power source engineered for high-drain RC vehicles, drones, and robotics platforms. Configured in a 2-series (2S1P) layout using high-density lithium cobalt oxide chemistry, it delivers a nominal voltage of 7.4V (8.4V fully charged) with a true continuous discharge rating of 80C (capable of delivering up to 176A continuous and 352A burst). Encapsulated in a rugged, heat-shrink protective casing, the battery comes pre-terminated with heavy-gauge 12AWG high-strand silicone discharge leads, an authentic gold-plated XT60 connector, and an industry-standard JST-XH balance plug for precision individual cell charging. It provides punchy throttle response, rock-solid voltage retention under heavy acceleration, and low internal resistance for RC cars, quadcopters, combat robots, power starters, and multi-servo DIY robotics kits.

Usage & Safety Guidelines

• Always Use a Dedicated LiPo Balance Charger: **Never charge with standard NiMH, NiCd, or Lead-Acid chargers**. Always select the "LiPo Balance" mode on a smart balance charger set to 2S (7.4V) at a 1C charge rate (2.2A) to ensure both cells charge evenly to exactly 4.20V.
• Never Over-Discharge Below 3.0V Per Cell: Over-discharging a LiPo cell below 3.0V (6.0V total pack voltage) causes irreversible internal chemical degradation and permanent capacity loss. Set your ESC's Low-Voltage Cutoff (LVC) or battery buzzer alarm to **3.5V or 3.6V per cell (7.0V–7.2V total)**.
• Storage Voltage Rule (3.80V–3.85V per cell): If you are not using the battery pack within 48 hours, use your charger's "Storage Mode" to discharge or charge the pack to **3.85V per cell (7.7V total)**. Storing a LiPo pack fully charged (8.4V) or empty (below 7.0V) leads to cell puffing (swelling) and shortened lifespan.
• Never Charge Unattended / Use a LiPo Guard Bag: Always charge on a non-flammable surface (such as concrete or ceramic tile) inside a fireproof LiPo safety charging bag. Disconnect the battery immediately if it begins to swell, heat up, or emit an odor during charging.
• Physical Handling: Never puncture, bend, crush, short-circuit, or expose the pack to open flames or direct temperatures above 60°C. If a battery is physically compromised in a crash, isolate it in an outdoor fire-safe container and monitor it for 30 minutes.
