Quick Fit Check
The CNHL Black Series 2000mAh 11.1V 3S 100C LiPo Battery with XT60 Plug is a compact high-discharge 3S battery for RC airplanes, FPV platforms and other performance models where battery size and installed weight matter as much as capacity.
At approximately 76 × 38 × 36mm (L × W × H) and 178g, this pack is particularly useful when a conventional 2200mAh-class battery feels slightly larger or heavier than desired. Its 100C continuous rating and XT60 connector also suit compact high-current 3S power systems.
Before ordering, confirm that your model supports standard 3S LiPo voltage, accepts the battery dimensions and weight, uses an XT60-compatible connection and can be balanced correctly after installation.

Compact 2000mAh 3S Power with a 100C Rating
The CNHL Black Series 2000mAh 3S 100C is positioned between very small lightweight 3S packs and the more common 2200–3000mAh battery class.
Its 2000mAh capacity keeps the battery compact while still providing useful energy for performance-oriented RC airplanes and other 3S systems. At approximately 178g, it can also be useful when battery weight needs to stay below that of a larger-capacity pack.
The 100C continuous and 200C burst ratings provide substantial stated discharge capability for rapid throttle changes and higher-load power systems, although actual current draw is determined by the motor, ESC, propeller, EDF, gearing and operating conditions.
Why Choose This Battery?
-
2000mAh capacity: Keeps the pack compact while providing more energy than smaller 1300–1800mAh batteries.
-
Approx. 178g weight: Useful when installed battery mass matters to aircraft handling and CG.
-
76mm length: Compact body for models with shorter battery compartments.
-
100C continuous rating: Designed for demanding 3S power systems.
-
XT60 connector: Common connection for performance RC aircraft and FPV applications.
-
Standard LiPo chemistry: Charges to 12.6V and does not require LiHV mode.
A Compact 3S Option for Durafly EFXtra and EFX Racer
The CNHL Black Series 2000mAh 11.1V 3S 100C LiPo Battery with XT60 is a useful lighter-capacity option to consider for the Durafly EFXtra and current EFX Racer.
These compact speed-oriented aircraft are commonly associated with approximately 2200mAh-class 3S setups, so this 2000mAh battery should be viewed as a lighter 3S alternative rather than a replacement for the reference capacity.
The smaller 2000mAh capacity can be attractive to pilots who prioritize lower installed battery mass, acceleration and a lighter aircraft feel over maximum flight duration.
Its 100C discharge rating is also appropriate for the high-current nature of compact speed models, while the XT60 connector follows the connector direction commonly used in this type of setup.
Battery capacity alone does not establish fitment. Confirm the 76 × 38 × 36mm dimensions, battery position, retention, wire clearance and final center of gravity before flight.
Compare lighter 3S options and higher-performance 4S packs in the Durafly EFXtra and EFX Racer Battery Collection.

The difference is relatively small, so the best choice depends on the actual model. A 2000mAh battery may reduce capacity and sometimes installed mass, while a 2200mAh pack provides approximately 10% more rated capacity.
Compact 3S Battery for RC Airplanes
The compact dimensions make this battery especially relevant to small and medium RC airplanes designed around 3S power.
For sport planes, racers and aerobatic aircraft, battery selection affects more than flight time. Battery mass and position directly influence center of gravity, pitch response and overall aircraft feel.
The 2000mAh capacity is useful when a larger 2200–3000mAh battery makes the model feel heavier than desired but a much smaller 1300–1500mAh pack does not provide enough energy reserve.
Always confirm the manufacturer's recommended battery range, battery-bay dimensions and final CG before flying.
3S Battery for FPV and Compact Brushless Builds
The combination of 2000mAh capacity, XT60 connection and 100C rating also makes this pack relevant to compatible FPV and custom brushless builds using 3S power.
For FPV applications, confirm not only voltage and connector but also battery dimensions, takeoff weight, frame clearance and the current requirements of the motor and ESC system.
A 178g battery can be relatively light for an RC airplane while being too heavy for some FPV platforms, so compatibility should be determined from the complete build rather than the “3S FPV” label alone.
XT60 Connector
This battery uses an XT60 output connector, commonly found on performance RC aircraft, FPV systems and custom electric builds.
The battery connects directly only when the device-side connector uses the corresponding XT60 connection with correct polarity.
XT60 is not directly compatible with EC3, IC3, EC5 or IC5. Models using those connector systems require an appropriately rated adapter or professional connector conversion.
Standard 3S LiPo Charging
This is a standard 3S LiPo battery. Maximum balanced charge voltage is 4.20V per cell, or 12.60V total.
Do not use a 4.35V-per-cell LiHV charging mode with this battery.
The stated 5C value is the maximum charge rate. For routine charging, a balanced 1C rate is preferred. 5C is the stated maximum, not the everyday target.
FAQ
Is this a standard LiPo or LiHV battery?
This is a standard 3S LiPo battery with 11.1V nominal voltage and a maximum fully charged voltage of 12.6V.
What are the dimensions of this battery?
The battery measures approximately 76 × 38 × 36mm in L × W × H order.
Can this battery be used in the Durafly EFXtra?
It can be considered as a slightly lower-capacity 3S alternative to the approximately 2200mAh-class setup commonly associated with the EFXtra. Confirm physical fit, battery position and final CG before flight.
Can it be used in the current Durafly EFX Racer?
It is also a relevant compact 3S option for the current EFX Racer when its dimensions, installed position and final CG suit the aircraft.
Why choose 2000mAh instead of 2200mAh?
The 2000mAh option carries slightly less energy and can be useful when a pilot prefers a more compact, lower-capacity setup. A 2200mAh battery provides approximately 10% more rated capacity.
Does 100C mean the model always draws extremely high current?
No. 100C is the battery's stated continuous discharge rating. Actual current is determined by the motor, ESC, propeller, EDF, gearing and operating conditions.
Can XT60 connect directly to EC3 or IC3?
No. XT60 and EC3/IC3 are different connector systems and do not plug directly into each other. Use a correctly rated adapter or connector conversion when required.
Should this battery always be charged at 5C?
No. For routine charging, a balanced 1C rate is preferred. The 5C specification is the stated maximum charge rate, not the everyday target.
Notice
- This is a standard 3S LiPo battery with a maximum charge voltage of 4.20V per cell.
- Use a compatible LiPo balance charger and select the correct standard 3S LiPo setting.
- Do not charge this battery using a 4.35V-per-cell LiHV mode.
- Confirm the 76 × 38 × 36mm dimensions, approximately 178g weight and XT60 connector before use.
- Voltage and connector alone do not confirm compatibility; battery size, weight, current demand and model balance must also match.
- For aircraft use, check final center of gravity after installing a different battery capacity or position.
- Secure the battery firmly and keep the output and balance leads clear of propellers, EDF units, gears and sharp edges.
- Never charge unattended, and do not use a swollen, punctured, damaged or overheated battery.
- Allow the pack to cool before recharging and use storage mode when it will not be used for an extended period.
