Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 4500mAh 22.8V 6S 120C LiPo Battery with XT90 Plug belongs to the CNHL Lightning LiHV Series, developed for RC pilots who need strong burst current and stable voltage during demanding flight conditions.
Because this pack uses LiHV cell chemistry, it can be charged to a higher voltage than standard LiPo batteries. In real-world flying this typically results in stronger throttle response and more energetic performance at the beginning of the flight.
The 120C discharge capability allows this battery to deliver high current without significant voltage drop, making it suitable for EDF jets, helicopters, and other high-power RC models.
What is the advantage of LiHV batteries? LiHV batteries can be charged to a higher voltage than standard LiPo batteries, which often results in stronger throttle response and improved early-flight performance.
Is 4500mAh suitable for a 6S aircraft setup? For many EDF jets and helicopters, a 4500mAh 6S pack offers a useful balance between power output and runtime.
Why use an XT90 connector? XT90 connectors are commonly used on high-current setups because they provide a reliable and secure connection for large RC models.
Notice
For RC batteries, correct fit depends on both voltage and connector compatibility.
This is a LiHV battery. Stop charging when cell voltage reaches 4.35V per cell.
Check battery condition and voltage before first use.
If the battery does not hold a full charge initially, cycle it several times using a balance charger.

Get yours!
Opening the box was so exciting! The plane is beautiful. Amazingly light weight, but durable.
I am so enthusiastic about this, I will demonstrating mine in my booth in the C building, #3113, at the Oshkosh Air Show the week of July 20, 2026.
I will also be taking orders for them to benefit my charity, Friends of British Aviation Heritage, which is raising money to not only to help attach the wings to the real Horten 229, but to help with restoration of another plane soon to go on display in England.
I ordered 3x 2000mha and 3x 4000mha lipo batteries and a pack of deans to traxxas plug adapters.
Usps was slow on their scans, and shipping as usual. Customer service was able to help sort out the shipping.
My items arrived before the estimated flight delivery date, which was a surprise considering 😆.
Everything works perfect out of the package, except for 1 battery, which I will be contacting customer service about.
Even with the one battery that was bad... I've thoroughly enjoyed the batteries. They proved great run time and power. They haven't got hot, and my son and I run our trucks pretty hard lol 😆.

I bought 3 of these for my traxxas mini slash. They fit perfectly, and I feel like they run a long as the traxxas 3500 that came with the truck.
