![[Combo] 6 Packs CNHL LiHV Ministar HV 450mAh 7.6V 2S 70C Lipo Battery with XT30U - UK Warehouse](http://chinahobbyline.com/cdn/shop/products/HV45702_512x512.jpg?v=1659437224)
Why Choose a 2S LiPo Battery?
The term 2S LiPo battery means two cells in series, giving 7.4V nominal (or 7.6V for LiHV). These packs are the most popular in RC, powering 1/10 cars, UMX airplanes, and small boats. If you are searching for battery LiPo 2S or LiPo battery 2S, CNHL provides multiple choices with different discharge rates and plug types.
2S LiPo vs. 7.4V LiPo Battery vs. 2S LiHV
A standard 7.4V LiPo battery balances reliability and compatibility. A 2S LiHV battery offers 7.6V nominal for higher voltage under load. Both share the same form factor, so you can switch based on whether you prefer endurance or maximum power output.
What Is a 7.4V Lithium Polymer Battery?
A 7.4 volt LiPo battery is a rechargeable power pack made from two lithium polymer cells connected in series. Each cell has a nominal voltage of 3.7V, resulting in a total nominal voltage of 7.4V.
The terms 7.4V LiPo battery and 7.4V lithium polymer battery describe the same battery chemistry. “LiPo” is simply the abbreviated name commonly used in the RC hobby for lithium polymer batteries.
Because of their balance of voltage, weight, and compatibility, 7.4V lithium polymer batteries are widely used in RC cars, airplanes, boats, and crawlers that are designed around 2S power systems.
Capacity, Size, and Shorty Options
CNHL produces 2S batteries from small 350mAh packs up to large-capacity car packs. Shorty designs are ideal for competitive 1/10 scale buggies and touring cars, while full-length packs maximize runtime. Selecting the right 2S LiPo means balancing weight, size, and discharge rating for your model.
Traxxas 2S LiPo Battery Compatibility
For Traxxas fans, CNHL offers multiple Traxxas 2S LiPo compatible packs. Models like Slash, Bandit, and Stampede run perfectly on 2S configurations. With adapters, you can connect EC5/XT60 packs to TRX systems, gaining more flexibility and often higher C-ratings than stock packs.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between 2S LiPo and 2S LiHV?
A: A standard 2S LiPo battery is 7.4V, while a 2S LiHV is 7.6V. LiHV offers slightly higher voltage and punch when fully charged.
Q: Can I use a 2S LiPo in place of a NiMH pack?
A: Yes, but make sure your ESC supports LiPo cutoff. Many Traxxas and ARRMA models work well with 2S LiPo batteries as an upgrade from NiMH.
Q: What’s the best connector choice?
A: XT60 and EC3/IC3 are common for planes and boats, while hardcase packs often use Deans or TRX-compatible plugs. Choose based on your model’s ESC plug.
