CNHL Lightning LiHV 8500mAh 15.2V 4S 120C HV Lipo Battery with EC5 Plug

Quick Fit Check

The CNHL Lightning LiHV 8500mAh 4S battery is designed for RC systems that require strong burst power, stable voltage delivery, and extended runtime.

Product Specifications

Product Overview

The CNHL Lightning LiHV 8500mAh 4S 120C battery is built for RC systems that require strong acceleration, stable voltage, and longer runtime.

The Lightning LiHV chemistry supports charging up to 4.35V per cell, providing improved throttle response and stronger output compared with standard LiPo batteries.

Combined with EC5 connectors and 10AWG wires, this battery is designed to support demanding RC setups while maintaining stable voltage under load.

Applications

• RC airplanes
• RC helicopters
• Large electric RC platforms
• High-power 4S systems
• Applications requiring longer runtime

High-Performance RC Car Compatibility

Although many large RC vehicles traditionally use hardcase batteries, many high-performance builds also use high-capacity soft-pack LiPo batteries for improved weight balance and higher discharge performance.

The CNHL Lightning LiHV 8500mAh 4S 120C battery can be used in powerful RC platforms such as:

• ARRMA Limitless speed-run builds
• Traxxas XRT 8S setups
• Traxxas X-Maxx 8S monster truck builds
• Traxxas Pro Scale Funco Sand Car
• Custom speed-run and drag racing vehicles

In these setups, two 4S batteries are commonly connected in series to create a powerful 8S configuration, delivering massive acceleration and extended runtime.
