2S Electronics Battery Option for Freewing Zeus 45NT Turbine Jet
The Freewing Zeus 45NT Turbine Sport Jet can use separate batteries for onboard electronics in certain turbine configurations. For K30/K45 installations, the published brake and servo supply recommendation is a separate 2S battery of at least 2000mAh, making this 2200mAh pack a capacity-class candidate when the voltage regulation, connector and mounting are appropriate.
This battery should not be treated as a universal turbine ECU or receiver replacement. X45/X60 configurations use a different shared-power recommendation of 4000–5000mAh. Confirm the specific installation manual and power distribution before use. Explore the Freewing Zeus 45NT Battery Collection.
Other Compact 2S RC Applications
This battery may also suit compatible mini monster trucks, small stadium trucks, lightweight RC crawlers and custom RC electronics systems that accept standard 2S voltage, XT60 power and the 76 × 34 × 19mm softcase format.

Softcase Shorty Battery and Secure Mounting
This is a softcase shorty LiPo, not a rigid hardcase race pack. It should be installed with secure, non-abrasive retention and appropriate impact protection, particularly in RC vehicles that experience rollovers, jumps or chassis contact.
A compact pack may be shorter than the original battery holder or retaining clip. Use suitable Velcro straps and padding to prevent movement without crushing the cells. Check that the battery cannot contact driveshafts, steering components, gears or sharp edges.
XT60 Connector Compatibility
The battery uses an XT60 power plug with 12AWG leads. It connects to compatible XT60-equipped models when connector gender and polarity match.
XT60 is not directly interchangeable with IC2, EC3, IC3, XT30 or other power connectors. A correctly wired, appropriately current-rated adapter or suitable connector conversion is required when the vehicle uses a different connection. Confirm clearance for the adapter and leads before closing the body or battery cover.
Standard 2S LiPo Charging and Battery Care
This is a standard 7.4V 2S LiPo battery, with a maximum balanced charge voltage of 8.40V total (4.20V per cell). It is not a LiHV battery and must not be charged to 8.70V.
For routine charging, a balanced 1C rate of 2.2A is preferred. The specified maximum rate is 5C, equivalent to 11A, but this is not the everyday recommendation. Higher charge currents require appropriately rated charging leads, connectors and equipment.
Use a suitable 2S LiPo balance charger with XT60 charging and JST-XH balance connections. The Spektrum Smart G2 USB-C charger supplied with the Losi IMSA GROM GT3 should not be assumed compatible with this conventional XT60 LiPo battery.
