FAQ

Is this a 2S or 3S LiPo battery? This is a 2S LiPo battery with a nominal voltage of 7.4V and a maximum fully charged voltage of 8.4V. It is intended for vehicles and ESCs that support 2S LiPo operation.

What connector does SMC-65150-2S1P-T use? This SKU is the T-style connector version, commonly referred to as a Deans-compatible plug. Check the connector type and polarity on your ESC before connecting the battery.

Will this battery fit my RC car or truck? Fitment depends on the battery compartment and vehicle electronics. The hardcase measures 139 x 47 x 26mm and weighs approximately 353g. Confirm the available battery tray space, connector compatibility and 2S voltage support before purchasing.

What does the 150C discharge rating mean? The 150C figure is the manufacturer's discharge rating relative to the battery's 6.5Ah capacity. Actual usable current depends on the battery, wiring, connector, temperature and operating conditions. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that the T-style connector can continuously carry the theoretical maximum current.

How fast can I charge the SMC HCL-HP 6500mAh battery? SMC specifies a charging range of 1C to 5C, equivalent to 6.5A to 32.5A for this battery. However, the manufacturer warns that higher charge rates can reduce accepted capacity and battery cycle life. OZRC recommends routine charging at 1C or lower using a suitable 2S LiPo balance charger, with any charging current also limited by the charger's, leads' and connectors' ratings.

Can I use this battery in an RC boat? Yes, provided the boat's ESC supports 2S LiPo operation, the battery compartment accommodates the hardcase and the connectors and wiring are suitable for the electrical load. Keep the battery and connections protected from water.

Important Notes

• Requires a compatible 2S LiPo balance charger. Charger is not included.
• Use a suitable LiPo balance charging program with the correct two-cell setting.
• For routine charging, OZRC recommends 1C or lower to help preserve battery cycle life.
• Never exceed the safe current ratings of the charger, power leads or charging connectors.
• Never leave a LiPo battery unattended while charging.
• Charge on a non-flammable surface using appropriate LiPo charging protection.
• Never charge a swollen, punctured, damaged or excessively hot battery.
• Do not short-circuit, crush, immerse or expose the battery to excessive heat.
• Use the vehicle's appropriate LiPo low-voltage cutoff to prevent over-discharge.
• For extended storage, use a suitable LiPo storage-charge program rather than leaving the pack fully charged or depleted.
• Check the 139 x 47 x 26mm dimensions, 353g weight and T-style connector before purchasing.
• The 150C discharge specification is a manufacturer rating and does not establish a continuous current rating for the fitted connector.
• RC vehicle, ESC, charger and charging accessories are not included.
