What is RC Lithium Polymer Battery?

RC Lithium Polymer batteries come in a range of capacities, typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh). The higher the capacity, the longer the battery will last.

RC lithium polymer batteries are available in various voltages, typically ranging from 2S (7.4V) to 6S (22.2V). The voltage of the battery must match the voltage of the RC device you are using it with.

The discharge rate of an RC lithium polymer battery determines how much current can be drawn from the battery at once. The discharge rate is usually measured in “C” (capacity) and is a multiple of the battery’s capacity. For example, a 1000mAh battery with a discharge rate of 20C can deliver a maximum current of 20 x 1000 = 20,000mA (or 20A).

RC lithium polymer battery must be charged using a lithium polymer battery charger that is designed for the battery’s voltage and capacity. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s recommended charging rates and safety guidelines to avoid overcharging or damaging the battery.

RC lithium polymer battery should be stored in a cool, dry place, and should never be stored at full charge or completely discharged. It’s recommended to store lithium polymer batteries at a charge level of around 50%.

RC lithium polymer battery can be dangerous if not handled properly. Always follow safety guidelines, use a lithium polymer charging bag or fireproof container when charging, and never puncture or expose the battery to extreme heat or water.
