About the Lightning LiHV Series
The CNHL Lightning LiHV Series is designed for RC users who demand strong discharge capability and stable voltage under heavy load. With a 120C continuous discharge rating, Lightning batteries are built for aggressive throttle input and high-power electric setups.
LiHV chemistry helps maintain stronger voltage during heavy current draw compared with many standard LiPo batteries. This can improve throttle response and overall performance in demanding RC models.
Applications
The 8500mAh capacity provides longer runtime while maintaining strong discharge performance, making this battery suitable for larger RC models and high-demand electric setups.
- High-performance RC cars and trucks
- Large RC aircraft
- EDF jet models
- Heavy electric RC builds
- Custom RC projects requiring high capacity batteries

FAQ
What makes LiHV batteries different from standard LiPo batteries?
LiHV batteries are designed to maintain stronger voltage under load, which helps deliver better acceleration and more consistent performance in demanding RC applications.
Is an 8500mAh battery suitable for large RC vehicles?
Yes. A higher capacity battery like 8500mAh provides longer runtime and stable power delivery, making it suitable for larger or heavier RC models.
What connector does this battery use?
This battery uses an XT90 connector, commonly used in high-power RC setups requiring reliable current delivery.
Notice
- For RC batteries, compatibility depends on matching voltage and connector type.
- Use a proper balance charger designed for LiPo or LiHV batteries.
- Inspect the battery surface and voltage before first use.
- If the battery does not initially hold charge well, perform several balance charge cycles before normal operation.
