A Classic 2200mAh 4S Battery for RC Airplanes
The CNHL Black Series 2200mAh 4S 40C LiPo Battery follows one of the most widely used battery formats in sport RC aviation. A 2200mAh 4S pack is commonly selected for foam warbirds, trainers, STOL aircraft, sport models, FPV fixed wings and compact EDF jets that need more voltage than a 3S setup without moving into a large or heavy battery class.
Its 106 × 34 × 28mm dimensions provide the familiar elongated shape used by many conventional aircraft battery trays. At approximately 211g, it offers a useful balance of capacity, installed weight and center-of-gravity control for aircraft designed around the standard 4S 2200mAh category.
The 40C continuous discharge rating is intended for normal sport flying, scale flying, FPV cruising and appropriately matched EDF use. The XT60 connector and 12AWG wires provide a straightforward connection for many factory-equipped and custom aircraft power systems.
Why Choose This 4S 2200mAh Battery?
Widely used capacity class
The 2200mAh size is a common reference point for 4S RC airplanes. It provides enough energy for useful flight duration without automatically adding the bulk of a larger 3000–4000mAh pack.
Standard 14.8V LiPo chemistry
This is a conventional 4S LiPo battery with a nominal voltage of 14.8V and a maximum balanced charge voltage of 16.8V. It is not a LiHV battery, so it does not require the power system to accept a 17.4V fully charged pack.
Balanced weight for aircraft use
The approximate 211g weight is suitable for many medium-size foam aircraft designed around a 4S 2200mAh battery. It can provide the forward mass required by nose-mounted motor installations without adding the weight of a substantially larger-capacity pack.
40C output for everyday sport flying
The 40C continuous discharge rating supports a broad range of sensibly matched 4S airplane power systems. It is particularly appropriate when the objective is dependable sport performance rather than the minimum possible voltage sag in an extreme racing setup.
Factory-installed XT60 connector
The XT60 plug is widely used in aircraft, EDF, FPV and multirotor applications. Models already fitted with a corresponding XT60 device connector can use the battery without adding an adapter.
Recommended 4S Battery for the Durafly P40 Warhawk V2
The CNHL Black Series 2200mAh 4S 14.8V 40C LiPo Battery with XT60 Plug is a well-matched option for the Durafly Curtiss P40 Warhawk V2 “Aleutian Tiger” 1100mm PNF. Its 4S voltage, 2200mAh capacity and XT60 connector closely follow the conventional battery specification used by this compact foam warbird.
The approximately 211g battery weight supports the P-40’s forward battery installation while maintaining a manageable all-up weight. The 4S setup provides useful power for takeoff, fast warbird passes, climbs and go-arounds without requiring a higher-capacity battery.
Secure the battery firmly and move it as required to achieve the aircraft manufacturer’s recommended center of gravity. Explore more batteries for the Durafly P40 Warhawk V2, including standard 3S, 4S and compact short-format options.
Suitable RC Aircraft Applications
Foam Warbirds
A 2200mAh 4S pack is commonly used in approximately 1000–1200mm foam warbirds that need additional voltage for strong takeoff performance and realistic high-speed passes. Always confirm the final center of gravity because battery position can have a substantial effect on warbird handling.
STOL, Trainer and General-Aviation Models
The battery is suitable for compatible trainers, bush planes and general-aviation models that use a conventional 4S 2200mAh power system. Its capacity supports mixed-throttle flying, touch-and-go practice and general sport use.
It is a relevant option for compatible versions of the FMS Cessna 182 Skylane 1500mm when the model’s battery compartment, ESC, connector and center-of-gravity requirements match.
Compact EDF Jets
The 4S 2200mAh category is widely used in lightweight 64mm EDF jets. The relatively compact capacity helps limit installed mass, while the 4S voltage provides useful fan speed and acceleration in a correctly matched EDF system.

Sport and Aerobatic Aircraft
Sport models that accept the 106mm case and approximately 211g weight can use this pack for general aerobatics, pattern-style maneuvers and mixed-throttle flying. Confirm that the 40C output is appropriate for the measured current of the motor and propeller combination.
FPV Fixed Wings and Multirotors
The battery can also be used in compatible FPV and multirotor platforms such as the Skylark M4-FPV250, Mini Shredder 200, EMAX Nighthawk 250 and 400mm X-Sled when the complete dimensions, weight, XT60 connection and current demand match.
These platform names cover different versions and owner-built configurations. Measure the actual battery area and verify the power system instead of relying on the model name alone.

FAQ
What RC airplanes use a 4S 2200mAh battery?
The 4S 2200mAh category is commonly used in compact warbirds, sport planes, trainers, STOL aircraft, FPV fixed wings and 64mm EDF jets. Exact compatibility depends on dimensions, weight, connector, current demand and center of gravity.
Does this battery fit the Durafly P-40 Warhawk V2?
It is a well-matched option for the Durafly P-40 Warhawk V2 when using the aircraft’s 4S configuration. The 2200mAh capacity, XT60 connector and standard 4S voltage align with the conventional setup. Secure the battery and confirm the final center of gravity before flight.
Is 40C enough for an EDF jet?
It can be sufficient for a correctly matched compact EDF system, but the answer depends on actual current draw, voltage sag, battery temperature, airflow and flight style. High-current EDF systems may benefit from a higher-C battery.
Can I replace a 3S 2200mAh battery with this 4S pack?
Only when the ESC, motor, propeller or EDF unit and the rest of the power system are specifically approved for 4S operation. A 4S pack has substantially higher voltage than a 3S battery and is not an automatic drop-in replacement.
Should I charge this battery at 5C every time?
No. The 5C specification is the maximum charge rate, not the required everyday charging rate. A lower balanced charge rate generally creates less heat and places less stress on the cells.
How should I set the flight timer?
Start conservatively and measure the resting cell voltage after landing. Adjust the timer gradually according to the aircraft, throttle use and remaining battery capacity rather than flying until a major power loss occurs.
