Built for RC Action with True 15A Power.
Equip your RC models with reliable, high-drain energy using this Samsung 30Q 2S 18650 Li-ion Battery Pack. Assembled with two genuine Samsung INR18650-30Q cells, it delivers a nominal 7.4V (8.4V full charge) and 3000mAh capacity.
Unlike misleading "10C" labels found elsewhere, we rate this pack at its true, safe 15A continuous discharge limit (approx. 5C), with short 30A peak bursts for aggressive throttle punches. It comes pre-wired with your choice of T Plug (Deans), XT30, or XT60 connector, plus a JST-XH 3-pin balance lead for safe, balanced charging. Perfect for 1/10 RC cars, trucks, drones, and FPV models.
Key Features
Genuine Samsung 30Q Cells: Authentic high-drain cells provide reliable performance, low internal resistance, and long cycle life.
True 15A Continuous / 30A Peak: Realistic ratings for safe, long-lasting performance. (Note: The "10C" label often seen in the RC industry refers to the 30A short-burst peak, not continuous output).
2S Configuration (7.4V Nominal / 8.4V Full Charge): Standard 2S voltage for most 1/10 RC cars and drones.
Pre-wired with RC Connectors: Choose from T Plug, XT30, or XT60 to match your ESC. Comes with a JST-XH balance lead for your charger.
Durable Heat Shrink Wrapping: Compact pack with blue protective shrink wrap, designed to fit standard RC battery compartments.
Parameters
*Dimensions are estimated excluding the wire length. Please allow ±1-2mm tolerance due to heat shrink wrapping.
Applications
Recommended For:
1/10 RC Cars & Trucks: Perfect for standard 2S setups requiring a balance lead and T/XT connectors.
Drones & FPV Models: Reliable power for flight controllers and motors drawing within 15A continuous.
RC Boats & Airplanes: Good for lightweight models requiring a 2S Li-ion pack.
DIY RC Projects: Easy to plug and play with standard hobby chargers.
Not Recommended For:
High-Power RC Models (>15A Continuous): For 1/8 scale cars or high-performance drones drawing 20A+, use a dedicated high-C-rate LiPo pack (e.g., 50C+).
Devices Requiring No Balance Lead: This pack includes a balance lead for safety; do not cut it off if you plan to use a balance charger.
FAQ
Q1: Is the discharge rate 10C or 15A? Why does the label say 10C?
A: The label "10C" is a common RC industry shorthand for the short-burst peak (30A for a 3000mAh pack). However, the true continuous discharge limit of the Samsung 30Q cell is 15A per cell. Since this is a 2S series pack, the continuous limit remains 15A. We rate it truthfully at 15A continuous / 30A peak for safe, long-term use.
Q2: Can I charge this with a standard RC charger?
A: Yes. Use a standard Li-ion/LiPo balance charger. Set it to 2S (7.4V) and 2.0A to 3.0A charge current. The included JST-XH balance lead allows your charger to balance the two cells.
Q3: What is the difference between the T Plug, XT30, and XT60 options?
A: T Plug (Deans) is common for 1/10 cars. XT30 is smaller and often used for drones or micro RC. XT60 is larger and handles more current. Choose the one that matches your ESC (Electronic Speed Controller).
Q4: Is this a protected battery pack?
A: This pack is assembled from unprotected bare cells. It does not have an internal BMS. For RC use, your ESC and charger handle the protection. Always monitor your battery voltage and never over-discharge below 5.0V (2.5V per cell).
Q5: What are the dimensions of this pack?
A: The estimated pack dimensions are approximately 66mm (Length) x 37mm (Width) x 18.4mm (Height), excluding the wires. Please measure your RC vehicle's battery tray to ensure fitment.
