Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 5500mAh 22.8V 6S 120C LiPo Battery with XT90 Plug belongs to the CNHL Lightning LiHV Series, designed for RC pilots who require high discharge capability and reliable voltage stability.
Because this pack uses LiHV chemistry, it can be charged to a higher voltage compared with standard LiPo batteries. In real flying conditions this typically produces 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 large RC airplanes, EDF jets, and demanding power setups.
Typical Applications
- 1.5m – 2.3m aerobatic airplanes
- Large RC warbirds
- EDF jet aircraft
- High-performance RC vehicles
Compatible RC Models
This battery works particularly well in larger aerobatic and sport aircraft. Examples include:
It is also widely used in FMS aircraft, HobbyKing sport planes, EDF jets, and various RC vehicles requiring a reliable 6S XT90 battery pack.

FAQ
What is the benefit of LiHV batteries?
LiHV batteries can be charged to a slightly higher voltage than standard LiPo batteries, which often improves power delivery and early-run performance.
Is 5500mAh suitable for a 6S airplane setup?
For many large RC airplanes and EDF jets, 5500mAh provides a practical balance between power output and flight time.
Why use XT90 connectors?
XT90 connectors are widely used on high-power RC setups because they support higher current loads and provide a secure electrical connection.
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.
- Battery size may vary slightly due to manual measurement.
- Please 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.
