Quick Fit Check
The CNHL G+Plus 29.6V 8S LiPo Battery 5000mAh 70C with XT90 Plug is a high-voltage RC battery designed for serious 8S power systems. With a 29.6V 8S configuration, 5000mAh capacity, 70C discharge rating, and XT90 connector, this pack is suitable for selected X8 FPV drones, cinelifter platforms, 1/7 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles, EDF jets, helicopters, RC boats, and other high-output 8S RC setups.
This is not a general-purpose beginner battery. Before buying, confirm your model is designed for 8S LiPo power, has enough space for a 151 × 50 × 64mm pack, can safely handle an approximately 976g battery, and uses an XT90 connector or a properly rated adapter. For dual-battery systems, always use two identical packs with the same capacity, connector, charge level, age, and condition.

Core Description
The CNHL G+Plus 5000mAh 8S LiPo battery is built for RC users who need high voltage, reliable discharge output, and a manageable 5000mAh capacity in a single 8S pack. Compared with 6S batteries, an 8S LiPo setup gives a higher voltage platform, which can support more efficient high-power builds when the motor, ESC, drivetrain, or propulsion system is designed for it.
The 5000mAh capacity keeps this battery in a practical middle ground. It offers useful runtime for demanding 8S applications without becoming as large or heavy as oversized long-endurance packs. For many high-power RC platforms, this balance matters because battery weight can affect handling, flight behavior, center of gravity, and overall system response.
The 70C discharge rating gives this pack a strong current-delivery profile for high-load use. In practical terms, that means better voltage support during throttle changes, takeoff, acceleration, climbs, or heavy-load operation compared with lower-output packs in the same voltage class.
Compatible 8S LiPo Option for iFlight Taurus X8 Pro Max
The CNHL G+Plus 29.6V 8S LiPo Battery 5000mAh 70C with XT90 Plug can be used as a lightweight high-discharge LiPo option for the iFlight Taurus X8 Pro Max and Taurus X8 Pro Max V2 8S HD cinelifter platform when used in a properly matched dual-battery setup.
Unlike the V2’s long-endurance 8S 10000mAh Li-Ion direction, this 5000mAh 8S LiPo pack is better suited for shorter filming runs, setup checks, lighter payloads, camera balancing, tuning flights, and pilots who want a more responsive LiPo power feel. For the Taurus X8 Pro Max platform, plan to use two identical 8S packs with the same capacity, connector, charge level, and battery condition.
Before flying, always confirm battery size, XT90 cable direction, strap clearance, battery rail fitment, and center of gravity. For more compatible options, visit our Taurus X8 Pro Max 8S LiPo battery collection.
8S Applications: FPV, RC Cars, EDF Jets, Boats, and Helicopters
This 8S 5000mAh LiPo battery can be used across several high-power RC categories when voltage, size, connector, and weight are suitable. In FPV and drone applications, it is relevant for selected 7–8 inch X8 FPV frames, 400–450mm X8 platforms, 10-inch X-class builds, and cinelifter-style aircraft designed around 8S power.
For surface RC, this pack can be considered for selected 1/7 and 1/8 scale vehicles that support 8S voltage and have enough tray space. The higher voltage can provide serious power, but it also increases stress on drivetrain and electronics, so ESC rating, gearing, tires, and vehicle setup must be checked carefully.
For aircraft and marine use, this battery may also suit FMS EDF jets, 3D airplanes, 700–800mm class helicopters, multirotors, and RC boats where the system is designed around 29.6V power. Because 8S setups vary greatly, fitment should never be assumed from voltage alone.
Why Choose an 8S 5000mAh LiPo Battery?
A 5000mAh 8S LiPo battery is a strong direction when your model needs more voltage than a 6S setup but still benefits from a manageable battery size. For performance drones, high-power EDF systems, large RC boats, and 8S-capable vehicles, this format can provide a useful balance between power, runtime, and weight.
Compared with larger 8S packs, a 5000mAh battery is often easier to mount, easier to balance, and less demanding on space. Compared with lower-voltage packs, the 29.6V 8S platform gives more voltage headroom for systems designed to use it efficiently.
The XT90 connector is also a practical choice for many high-power RC systems. It gives a robust connector direction for larger current loads while keeping compatibility simple for platforms already wired around XT90.

FAQ
What is this 8S 5000mAh LiPo battery best used for?
It is best used in high-power RC systems designed for 29.6V 8S LiPo power, including selected X8 FPV drones, cinelifters, 1/7 and 1/8 RC vehicles, EDF jets, helicopters, RC boats, and custom 8S builds.
Can this battery work with the iFlight Taurus X8 Pro Max?
Yes, it can be used as a lightweight high-discharge LiPo option for the Taurus X8 Pro Max and Taurus X8 Pro Max V2 8S HD cinelifter platform when used in a properly matched dual-battery setup. Always confirm battery rail fitment, cable routing, strap clearance, and center of gravity before flying.
Do I need one battery or two batteries for the Taurus X8 Pro Max?
For the Taurus X8 Pro Max platform, plan to use two identical 8S packs if you are building a dual-battery setup. Both packs should match in capacity, connector, charge level, age, and condition.
Is this better than an 8S 10000mAh Li-Ion pack?
It depends on the use case. An 8S 10000mAh Li-Ion setup is usually better for long-endurance filming, while this 5000mAh 8S LiPo pack is better for shorter runs, tuning flights, lighter payloads, and a more responsive power feel.
Is XT90 enough for 8S setups?
XT90 is commonly used in many high-power RC setups, but connector suitability depends on actual current draw, wire length, ESC demand, and installation quality. Always follow your model manufacturer’s connector and current recommendations.
Can I use this battery in an RC car?
Only if the vehicle is designed for 8S LiPo power and can fit the pack safely. 8S power can be extremely demanding on drivetrains, tires, ESCs, and connectors, so the vehicle must be properly rated for it.
Notice
- Only use a compatible LiPo balance charger designed for 8S LiPo batteries.
- Stop charging immediately if any cell exceeds 4.2V.
- Check voltage, connector type, battery tray size, cable direction, strap clearance, ESC rating, and weight balance before purchase.
- For dual-battery setups, use two identical packs with the same capacity, connector, charge level, age, and condition.
- Inspect the battery surface, connector, wires, balance lead, and cell voltage before first use.
- Do not use the battery if it becomes swollen, damaged, overheated, or physically deformed.
- For long-term storage, store the battery at proper storage voltage in a cool and dry place.
- If a new battery does not initially hold full performance, several normal balanced charge and discharge cycles may help stabilize the cells.
- Always follow standard LiPo safety procedures during charging, storage, transport, and use.
