Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 3500mAh 15.2V 4S 120C LiPo Battery with XT60 Plug is built for RC pilots who want strong power delivery while keeping overall battery weight in a practical range for balanced flight performance.
Because this is a LiHV battery, it can be charged to a higher voltage than a standard 4S LiPo. In real use, that usually means a stronger initial punch, a more energetic throttle feel, and better early-pack response in aircraft and other 4S platforms.
With a 120C continuous discharge rate, this battery is intended for demanding setups that need stable current delivery, especially where clean takeoff power, sustained pull, and reliable throttle response matter.
Typical Applications
- Sport RC airplanes
- EDF jet aircraft
- RC boats
- FPV fixed-wing aircraft
- RC vehicles requiring a 4S XT60 battery
Compatible RC Models
This battery can be used in a variety of RC aircraft and vehicles requiring a 4S XT60 power system, including:
- E-flite Habu SS
- Turbo Timber SWS
- Ultra Stick series

Related Options & Use Cases
The 3500mAh capacity is a practical option for pilots who want extended flight sessions and smoother power delivery on the CNHL Havok Racer. Compared with lighter packs, this battery adds a bit more nose weight, which can improve stability during high-speed passes and help maintain momentum in windy conditions.

This battery can also be used in the E-flite Beechcraft D18 / RC-45J 1.5m when flying on a 4S setup, where stronger takeoff roll and improved climb margin are desired.
The aircraft typically uses an IC3 / EC3-style connector. Because this battery uses XT60, a short XT60-to-EC3 adapter is required for installation.

FAQ
What is the advantage of a LiHV battery?
LiHV batteries can be charged to a higher voltage than standard LiPo packs, which often provides stronger punch and a more energetic early-flight feel.
Is 3500mAh a good size for a 4S RC airplane setup?
Yes. A 3500mAh 4S battery is often a practical middle-ground choice for aircraft that need more runtime than a smaller pack, while still keeping weight within a manageable range.
Can this battery be used in the E-flite Beechcraft D18 / RC-45J 1.5m?
Yes, on a 4S setup. Because the aircraft typically uses an IC3 / EC3-style connector and this battery uses XT60, a short adapter is required.
What connector does this battery use?
This battery uses an XT60 connector, which is widely used on RC aircraft, FPV platforms, and many other RC power systems.
Notice
- For RC batteries, both voltage and connector must match your model.
- This is a LiHV battery. Stop charging immediately when the cell voltage reaches 4.35V per cell.
- Inspect the battery before first use to ensure the voltage and surface condition are normal.
- If a new battery does not hold a full charge initially, cycle it several times using a balance charger.
