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
Typical Fitment: 4S XT60 Aircraft and Performance Setups
The CNHL Lightning LiHV 3500mAh 4S 120C battery with XT60 plug is a premium 4S option for RC aircraft and performance setups that need strong throttle response, stable voltage, and a practical mid-size capacity.
This pack can be considered for aircraft and vehicles using a 4S XT60 power system, including models such as the E-flite Habu SS, Turbo Timber SWS, and Ultra Stick series. As always, actual fit depends on voltage, connector, battery bay size, CG range, and acceptable flying weight.

Related Aircraft Use Cases: Havok Racer and E-flite Beechcraft D18
The 3500mAh capacity is a practical choice for pilots who want longer flight sessions and smoother power delivery on the CNHL Havok Racer. Compared with lighter packs, this battery adds a little more nose weight, which can help stability during fast passes and windy conditions.

This battery can also be considered for the E-flite Beechcraft D18 / RC-45J 1.5m when flying on a 4S setup and looking for stronger takeoff roll and improved climb margin. Because the aircraft commonly uses an IC3 / EC3-style connector while this pack uses XT60, a short XT60-to-EC3 adapter or proper connector conversion is required.

A Premium 4S LiHV Option for the CNHL KAVAN Pulse 2200 V2
If you are looking for a more premium battery setup for the
CNHL KAVAN Pulse 2200 V2 PNP Glider - Orange,
this CNHL Lightning LiHV 3500mAh 15.2V 4S 120C battery with XT60 plug is one of the most interesting options in the lineup.
The Pulse 2200 V2 is not only sensitive to voltage and capacity on paper. It also responds clearly to pack size, weight distribution, and overall setup balance. Compared with a more ordinary 4S pack, this 3500mAh LiHV battery gives the glider a livelier feel under power while staying in a practical size and capacity range for a 2206mm full-house electric sport glider.
It is especially well suited to owners who want the Pulse 2200 V2 to keep its glider character while still enjoying crisp powered climbs, strong response, and a refined 4S setup. For more recommendations, browse the

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.
