Quick Fit Check
Before choosing a 4S LiHV battery for your RC aircraft, boat, or vehicle, confirm the following compatibility points.
| Check Item |
Your Model Should Match |
Why It Matters |
| Power System |
Designed for a 4S battery setup |
Incorrect voltage can damage ESC or motor |
| Connector Type |
EC5 or IC5 battery connector |
Matching connectors ensure safe and efficient power delivery |
| Battery Bay |
Enough room for a long-format 4S pack |
Prevents canopy or battery hatch fit issues |
| Weight Range |
Aircraft or vehicle can balance with a ~400g battery |
Helps maintain proper center of gravity |
| Typical Use |
Sport planes, scale aircraft, RC boats, or high-power RC vehicles |
This battery balances runtime and stable power output |
This 4500mAh 4S LiHV LiPo battery sits slightly above typical 4000mAh packs, providing longer runtime while keeping overall weight manageable for many mid-size RC aircraft.

Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 4500mAh 4S 120C LiPo Battery with EC5 Plug is part of the CNHL Lightning LiHV Series, designed for RC pilots who require high burst current and stable voltage under demanding conditions.
Because this battery uses LiHV chemistry, it charges to a higher maximum voltage compared with standard LiPo packs. In real-world use, this often translates to stronger throttle response and improved early-pack performance.
The 120C discharge capability allows the pack to handle aggressive throttle inputs while maintaining stable power output during flight or driving.
Typical Applications
- 4S RC airplanes (1.2m – 1.5m wingspan)
- Sport and scale aircraft
- RC boats using 4S power systems
- High-performance RC vehicles requiring EC5 / IC5 batteries
FAQ
What is the advantage of LiHV batteries?
LiHV batteries can be charged to a higher voltage than standard LiPo batteries, which typically results in stronger throttle response and improved early-flight performance.
Is EC5 compatible with IC5 connectors?
EC5 batteries are commonly used with devices equipped with IC5 connectors because the electrical design is compatible, though users should always confirm connector fit.
Is 4500mAh suitable for a 4S aircraft setup?
Yes. For many mid-size RC airplanes, a 4500mAh pack offers longer runtime than 4000mAh options while still keeping aircraft weight manageable.
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.
- 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.
