Quick Fit Check
The CNHL G+Plus 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 70C LiPo Battery with EC3 Plug is a compact and versatile 3S EC3 battery for RC pilots and drivers who need a practical balance of power, weight, runtime, and everyday usability. With 2200mAh capacity, 11.1V 3S voltage, 70C discharge output, 12AWG wire, and an EC3 plug, this pack is well suited for RC trainer airplanes, park flyers, lightweight 3D aircraft, compact RC boats, 450-size helicopters, and smaller RC platforms already built around 3S voltage and EC3 / IC3-style connector systems.
Before ordering, confirm that your model supports 11.1V 3S LiPo power, the battery compartment can fit a 106 × 35 × 31mm pack, the ESC or power lead matches an EC3 connector, and the model balances correctly with an approximately 204g battery. EC3 and IC3 are commonly searched together for Horizon Hobby, E-flite, HobbyZone, Spektrum, and Pro Boat platforms, but this battery is not a Spektrum Smart battery and does not provide Smart battery data.

Core Description
The CNHL G+Plus 2200mAh 3S 70C LiPo battery is built for RC users who want a stronger 3S pack without moving into a heavier 3000mAh or 5000mAh size. The 2200mAh capacity is one of the most widely used sizes in RC because it gives practical runtime while keeping aircraft, boats, and compact vehicles light enough to stay balanced and responsive.
The 70C discharge rating gives this pack a more responsive feel than many basic sport batteries. It provides extra headroom during takeoff, climb-out, throttle changes, boat acceleration, and repeated practice flights, while still staying in a compact package that fits many EC3-equipped models.
The EC3 plug makes this battery especially relevant for Horizon Hobby-style 3S platforms, including many HobbyZone, E-flite, Spektrum, and Pro Boat setups. IC3 users often search for the same battery size because EC3 and IC3 appear in similar model recommendations, but this battery does not provide Spektrum Smart battery telemetry.
What Makes This 3S EC3 Pack Useful
A 2200mAh 3S LiPo battery remains one of the most practical sizes in RC because it works across many real-world platforms without becoming oversized or awkward to install. This battery sits in a very usable middle ground: enough capacity for meaningful runtime, enough discharge capability for a lively 3S feel, and still compact enough for smaller airframes and vehicles.
For aircraft, the moderate 204g weight helps preserve center of gravity, wing loading, and landing behavior. For boats, it keeps the hull lively and responsive. For compact vehicles and helicopters, it provides a useful balance of output and manageable weight.
The EC3 connector keeps this pack naturally aligned with many aircraft, trainer, boat, and compact RC platforms already using EC3 or IC3-style power systems. Always confirm exact connector fit, polarity, and battery compartment clearance before use.
Compatible RC Trainer Airplanes
The CNHL G+Plus 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 70C LiPo Battery with EC3 Plug is a practical 3S battery choice for compatible RC trainer airplanes that require a 3S LiPo pack with an EC3-style connector. Its 2200mAh capacity makes it especially useful for pilots who want longer practice sessions, repeated takeoffs and landings, and more field time between battery changes.
This pack is featured in our HobbyZone AeroScout S 2 Batteries collection. The AeroScout S 2 officially recommends a 3S 11.1V 1300–2200mAh LiPo battery with EC3 or IC3 connector, making this 2200mAh EC3 pack a strong direct-fit direction for many AeroScout pilots when tray fitment, CG, and connector setup are confirmed.

Compatible RC Models and Use Scenarios
This battery is commonly used in park flyers, lightweight 3D airplanes, compact RC boats, helicopters, and smaller RC vehicles where a clean-fitting 3S EC3 battery makes more sense than a larger oversized pack.
Typical applications include the E-flite Valiant, ParkZone F4F Wildcat, E-flite Pitts S-1S, T-Rex 450, compact EPP aerobatic airplanes, and smaller RC boats that benefit from a moderate-weight 3S setup. These model references should be treated as fitment starting points, not automatic guarantees.
Compared with heavier 3S packs, this battery helps preserve cleaner balance and more predictable handling, especially on aircraft where center of gravity and wing loading noticeably affect the flying feel.
Perfect Fit and Power for the Pro Boat Recoil 2 18"
The CNHL G+Plus 2200mAh 11.1V 3S 70C LiPo Battery with EC3 Plug is also a very natural match for the Pro Boat Recoil 2 18" Self-Righting Deep-V RTR. The combination of 3S voltage, compact dimensions, EC3 connector, and moderate weight suits the Recoil 2 especially well because the boat performs best when it stays lively and easy to control instead of carrying unnecessary battery weight.
In practice, this kind of 2200mAh 3S setup helps the Recoil 2 maintain its playful handling and quick acceleration while still delivering useful runtime for everyday lake sessions. Since the boat commonly uses an EC3 / IC3-style connector, this battery connects more naturally than larger XT60-based alternatives and keeps the installation cleaner overall.
For boat use, always check battery straps, wire routing, hatch clearance, water protection, connector position, and hull balance before running. A battery that is too heavy or poorly positioned can change self-righting behavior, turning feel, and how the boat rides on the water.
EC3 Plug and IC3 Search Compatibility Notes
This battery comes with an EC3 plug, a connector format commonly used on many 3S aircraft, trainer airplanes, compact RC boats, and Horizon Hobby-style power systems. EC3 and IC3 are often searched together because many users compare them when replacing or upgrading 3S batteries.
This is not a Spektrum Smart battery and does not provide Smart battery data. If your model uses an IC3-equipped ESC, confirm physical connector fit, polarity, charger setup, wire clearance, and battery bay space before use.
