7.4V 2200mAh LiPo Battery: High Power for RC and Robotics
When your motors need serious current, ordinary batteries can’t keep up. This 2S 7.4V LiPo battery uses two high-quality lithium polymer cells in series to deliver strong, steady power, with a 35C discharge rating. That means it can supply up to 77A continuously, enough to drive fast RC cars, powerful brushless motors and heavy robot drive systems without sagging.
The XT60 connector handles high current safely and plugs into most RC ESCs and power leads. The white JST-XH balance connector lets a balance charger keep both cells at the same voltage, which is essential for safety and long battery life.
With 2200mAh capacity in a compact, lightweight pack, this LiPo battery is a top choice for hobbyists, robotics teams and engineering students across Ghana.

How Long Will It Last?
| Use | Typical Current | Approx. Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| Arduino robot car (2 DC motors) | 1 – 2A | 1 – 2 hours |
| RC car (1/16 – 1/18 scale) | 8 – 15A | 9 – 16 minutes |

| Robot arm (multiple servos) | 2 – 4A | 30 – 60 minutes |
Runtimes are estimates. Actual times depend on your motors, load and driving style.
How to Charge a LiPo Battery
- Use a LiPo balance charger (for example, an IMAX B6 or a 2S/3S balance charger).
- Connect both the XT60 and the white balance plug to the charger.
- Select LiPo mode, 2S (7.4V), at 2.2A (1C).
- Charge on a non-flammable surface, ideally inside a LiPo safety bag, and never leave it unattended.
- The charger stops automatically at 8.4V.
⚠️ LiPo Safety Tips
- Never use a normal charger. Always use a LiPo balance charger.
- Don’t discharge below 3.3V per cell (6.6V total). Use a LiPo voltage alarm or an ESC with low-voltage cut-off.
- Store at 3.8V per cell (7.6V) if you won’t use it for more than a few days. Use your charger’s “Storage” mode.
- Never puncture, crush or short-circuit the battery.
- Stop using it immediately if it swells (puffs up), smells, or gets very hot.
- Let it cool after use before you recharge it.
- Keep it out of direct sun and hot cars. Ghana’s heat shortens LiPo life.
- Store and charge it in a LiPo safety bag.
