Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 4500mAh 22.8V 6S 120C LiPo Battery with EC5 Plug is part of the CNHL Lightning LiHV Series, a high-performance battery lineup designed for demanding RC applications.
Because this pack uses LiHV cell chemistry, it can be charged to a higher voltage compared with standard LiPo batteries. In real-world use this typically results in stronger throttle response and improved early-flight performance.
The 120C discharge capability allows the battery to deliver high current with minimal voltage sag, making it well suited for EDF jets, helicopters, and large sport aircraft.
The EC5 connector is commonly used on high-power RC systems and is frequently associated with setups that also reference IC5 battery systems in the RC hobby market.
Typical Applications
- EDF jet aircraft
- Large RC helicopters
- Scale and sport airplanes
- High-power RC vehicles requiring EC5 batteries
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 power delivery and early-flight performance.
Is 4500mAh suitable for a 6S aircraft setup?
For many EDF jets and helicopters, a 4500mAh 6S battery provides a balanced combination of flight time and power output.
Why use an EC5 connector?
EC5 connectors are widely used on larger RC models because they provide reliable high-current connections for demanding setups.
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.
