Product Overview
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 2400mAh 15.2V 4S 120C HV Shorty Lipo Battery with EC3 Plug is designed as a compact 4S shorty LiPo battery for aircraft, FPV wings, and lightweight RC platforms that require strong punch and stable voltage delivery.
As part of the CNHL Lightning series, this battery supports modern 4S LiHV shorty battery setups where balanced weight, clean installation, and responsive throttle feel are important. The shorty format helps maintain a better center of gravity compared with longer packs while still delivering the current required for demanding applications.
The EC3 connector is commonly used on many Horizon Hobby aircraft platforms. When searching for EC3 or IC3 battery setups, this pack is frequently considered due to its compatible connector family and reliable high-current performance.
With 120C continuous discharge, the battery delivers fast throttle response and stable power output during aggressive throttle transitions, making it suitable for sport flying, FPV builds, and compact EDF jets.
Compatible Platforms
This battery format is commonly used on aircraft such as:
- Eflite SNJ-5 / AT-6 Texan 1.5m
- E-flite Timber 1.5m series
- Skylark M4-FPV250
- Mini Shredder 200
- Emax Nighthawk 250
- 400mm X-Sled
- Other FPV wings, sport RC aircraft, and compact EDF jets using a 4S EC3 battery setup
Always confirm battery voltage, connector type, and battery tray space before installation.
FAQ
What is the advantage of a LiHV battery?
LiHV batteries charge to a higher voltage than standard LiPo batteries, which often provides stronger punch and improved early-flight performance.
What is a shorty LiPo battery?
A shorty LiPo battery uses a compact layout that helps improve weight distribution and center of gravity in many RC platforms.
Can this battery be used on IC3 systems?
EC3 and IC3 belong to the same connector family used on many Horizon Hobby aircraft platforms. Always confirm connector compatibility and system requirements before installation.
Notice
- For RC batteries, correct fit requires both matching voltage and connector type.
- Please stop charging immediately when the cell voltage reaches 4.35V per cell.
- Inspect the battery before first use to ensure the surface and voltage are normal.
- If a new battery does not hold a full charge initially, cycle it several times with a balance charger.
