Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 4000mAh 22.8V 6S 120C LiPo Battery with XT90 Plug is built for pilots who want a 6S pack with strong burst power, stable voltage, and a size that still fits many mid-to-large RC aircraft without feeling oversized.
Compared with smaller 3000mAh-class 6S packs, this battery offers more usable flight time and a steadier feel under throttle. At the same time, it stays lighter than many 5000mAh options, which makes it a practical middle-ground choice for pilots who want more duration without pushing the airframe too far forward on CG.
Because this is a LiHV battery, it charges to a higher full voltage than a standard LiPo pack. In real flying, that usually means a stronger early-pack response, more confident vertical pull, and cleaner throttle recovery when the aircraft is already under load.
Typical Applications
- 6S aerobatic airplanes in the 60E class
- Scale and sport warbirds
- RC helicopters such as 500–600 class setups
- Medium EDF jets using 6S power
- High-power RC cars and truggies requiring XT90 packs
Compatible RC Models
This battery is commonly considered for aircraft and RC platforms such as:
For many 60E-class airplanes, this 4000mAh 6S format sits in a useful middle zone: enough energy for confident performance, but still easier to manage than a much larger 5000mAh pack.
Related Options & Alternatives
If you want a lighter 6S setup, a 3000mAh 6S LiPo battery or 3300mAh 6S LiPo battery may make more sense for aircraft that are sensitive to nose weight.
If you want the same general capacity with a lower discharge profile, the 4000mAh 6S 65C Black Series is a useful comparison point.
If you need more endurance, you can step up to options such as a 5000mAh 6S 70C LiPo battery or a 5000mAh 6S 65C LiPo battery if your airframe has room and benefits from the extra duration.
FAQ
What is the advantage of LiHV over standard LiPo?
LiHV batteries charge to a higher maximum voltage, which usually gives a more energetic feel at takeoff and during the early part of the flight.
Is 4000mAh a good size for a 6S aerobatic airplane?
Yes, for many 60E-class aerobatic airplanes it is. It often provides a practical balance between power, runtime, and overall aircraft weight.
Why choose XT90 on a 6S battery like this?
XT90 is commonly used on higher-current setups because it offers a more robust connector format for larger aircraft, helicopters, and other power-hungry RC models.
Can this battery be used in RC cars as well?
Yes, if the vehicle supports a 6S system, has enough tray space, and is configured for XT90-based battery connections.
Notice
- For RC batteries, both voltage and connector must match your model.
- This is a LiHV battery. Stop charging when the cell voltage reaches 4.35V per cell.
- Check the battery surface and voltage before first use.
- If the battery does not hold a full charge initially, cycle it several times using a balance charger.
