Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 6000mAh 8S 120C battery is built for RC platforms that demand extreme power delivery.
The Lightning LiHV chemistry allows charging up to 4.35V per cell, providing stronger throttle response and improved power efficiency compared with standard LiPo batteries.
With 8AWG silicone wire and QS8 connector, this battery supports high-current systems commonly used in X-Class FPV drones, large EDF jets and high-performance RC vehicles.
Single-Pack 8S Option for Freewing Ares 3D EDF Jet
For pilots running a single-pack 8S setup, this battery has also proven to work well on the Freewing Ares 3D 90mm EDF Jet. Its 120C discharge capability provides strong thrust response for hovering maneuvers and stable power delivery during aggressive throttle inputs.
Compared with some higher-priced 8S packs, this battery provides a balanced combination of power output, voltage stability and practical weight, making it a reliable choice for high-performance EDF aircraft.
