Why 4S Power Unlocks the Texan’s True Potential
Moving from a 3S to a 4S LiPo setup transforms the Eflite Texan 1.5m from a gentle trainer into a lively warbird. The aircraft gains smoother throttle response, crisper roll authority, and a noticeably shorter takeoff run. CNHL’s G+Plus cells maintain voltage under heavy loads, providing the power consistency this airframe deserves.
Battery Fitment and Connector Compatibility
All recommended CNHL batteries fit inside the factory battery tray. The 2200mAh EC3 version connects directly to the stock IC3/EC3 plug. XT60 and XT90 packs can be used with EC3 adapters, ensuring full current capability without limiting performance.
Capacity vs. Flight Style
- 2200mAh 4S: The lightest option for agile rolls and quick takeoffs, perfect for grass-field flying.
- 3300mAh 4S: The balanced all-rounder, offering predictable handling and moderate flight times.
- 4000mAh 4S: The endurance choice—stable in windy conditions and capable of extended scale circuits. Position slightly forward for correct 85 mm CG.
Performance Benefits Over Stock Batteries
Compared with stock 3S packs, CNHL’s 4S lineup delivers higher sustained voltage, stronger vertical climbs, and cooler post-flight temperatures. Each pack uses matched internal resistance cells to ensure low heat buildup and long cycle life, even under repeated sorties.
