Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 6700mAh 6S 120C battery is designed for RC setups that require strong acceleration, stable voltage, and consistent performance under load.
The Lightning LiHV chemistry supports charging up to 4.35V per cell, providing improved throttle response and stronger output compared with standard LiPo packs.
Combined with 10AWG wire and an EC5 connector, this battery supports demanding power systems in RC airplanes, EDF jets, helicopters and high-performance RC vehicles.
Applications
This 6S LiHV battery is widely used in mid-to-large RC aircraft and performance vehicles.
In RC airplanes and EDF jets it fits models such as the HobbyKing Sports Hawk, E-flite Turbo Timber SWS, Freewing Zeus, FMS F-86 Sabre 80mm and XFLY T-7A Red Hawk.
It also performs very well in the Freewing A-10 V3 Thunderbolt II RC Jet, offering efficient twin-EDF thrust and stable voltage during long flight passes.
For helicopter pilots, it is commonly used in models like the T-Rex 550, Goblin Kraken 580, and XLPower Specter 700 V2.
Compatible RC Cars
This battery also works very well in high-power RC cars such as the ARRMA Kraton 6S series.
The compact form factor and EC5 connector allow it to run as a single 6S pack or part of a dual-battery configuration in 1/8 scale bashers.

FAQ
What is a LiHV battery?
LiHV batteries can be charged to a higher voltage than standard LiPo batteries (4.35V per cell), providing slightly higher power output and improved throttle response.
Is EC5 compatible with IC5 systems?
EC5 connectors are widely used in high current RC power systems and are commonly associated with IC5-style setups used in many modern RC vehicles.
Can this battery run an ARRMA Kraton 6S?
Yes. The 6S 6700mAh configuration is commonly used in ARRMA Kraton 6S vehicles for strong acceleration and stable runtime.
What charger should be used for LiHV batteries?
A balance charger that supports LiHV charging up to 4.35V per cell should be used.
Notice
- Ensure the voltage and connector match your RC system before use.
- Do not charge above 4.35V per cell.
- Inspect the battery before first use.
- If the battery does not hold charge initially, cycle it several times using a balance charger.
