Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 6700mAh 22.8V 6S 120C LiPo Battery with XT90 Plug is built for pilots and drivers who need a large-capacity 6S pack with strong punch, stable voltage, and enough reserve for more demanding flying or driving sessions.
Because this is a LiHV battery, it can be charged to a higher voltage than a standard 6S LiPo pack. In practical use, that usually gives a more energetic throttle feel at the start of the run and better early-pack performance on larger aircraft and other high-load applications.
With a 120C continuous discharge rating, this battery is aimed at platforms that need strong burst current and reliable sustained output, especially when the model is large enough that battery sag becomes more noticeable under heavy throttle.
Typical Applications
- 1.5m–2.3m aerobatic RC airplanes
- Large sport aircraft and bush planes
- EDF jets using 6S power
- Large sailplanes with motor systems requiring stable 6S voltage
- RC cars, buggies, and truggies using 6S XT90 battery setups

Related Options & Alternatives
If you want a lighter 6S pack, consider options such as a 4000mAh 6S LiPo battery or a 5000mAh 6S LiPo battery depending on connector preference and aircraft size.
If your setup does not need a 120C discharge rate, lower-discharge alternatives may also make sense, such as the 6S 5000mAh 65C Black Series or the 6S 5000mAh 40C LiPo battery.

FAQ
What is the advantage of LiHV batteries?
LiHV batteries can be charged to a slightly higher voltage than standard LiPo batteries, which usually provides stronger throttle response and better early-pack performance.
Is 6700mAh too large for a 6S airplane setup?
Not necessarily. On larger aircraft in the 1.5m–2.3m class, a 6700mAh 6S battery can be a practical option when longer runtime and stronger sustained output are more important than keeping the setup ultra-light.
What connector does this battery use?
This battery uses an XT90 connector, which is common on larger RC power systems and higher-current 6S applications.
Can this battery be used in RC cars as well?
Yes, if the vehicle supports a 6S setup, has enough tray space, and uses or can accept an XT90-based battery connection.
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.
- Please note that battery size may vary slightly due to manual measurement.
- Inspect the battery before first use to ensure the voltage and surface condition are normal.
- If a new battery does not hold a full charge initially, cycle it several times using a balance charger.
