Product Specifications

Product Overview

The CNHL Lightning LiHV 5500mAh 30.4V 8S 120C LiPo Battery with XT90 Plug is part of the CNHL Lightning LiHV Series, designed for high-performance RC systems that require strong discharge capability and stable voltage delivery.

Using LiHV chemistry, this battery can be charged to a higher voltage compared with standard LiPo batteries, helping improve throttle response and early-flight performance.

The XT90 connector is widely used in large RC aircraft, FPV drones, and high-power vehicles because it supports high current loads and provides a reliable connection for demanding power systems.

Typical Applications

• 10-inch X-class FPV drones
• 7–8 inch 400–450mm X8 FPV platforms
• Large EDF jet aircraft
• 700–800 size RC helicopters
• 1/7 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles
• Large RC airplanes and multicopters

Compatible RC Models

This battery is commonly used in large FPV platforms, EDF jets, helicopters, and high-power RC vehicles where an 8S LiPo setup provides the required voltage and thrust.

FAQ

What is the benefit of LiHV batteries?
LiHV batteries can be charged to a slightly higher voltage than standard LiPo batteries, which can improve throttle response and power output.

Is 5500mAh suitable for an 8S setup?
Yes. A 5500mAh capacity provides a good balance between runtime and power for many high-performance 8S setups.

Notice

• For RC batteries, compatibility depends on both voltage and connector type.
• This is a LiHV battery. Stop charging when cell voltage reaches 4.35V per cell.
• Battery dimensions may vary slightly due to manual measurement.
• Always 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.
