The LiPower 11.1V 4200mAh 3S LiPo Battery is a high-performance lithium polymer battery designed to deliver stable, high-current output for a wide range of RC and DIY electronics applications. With a capacity of 4200mAh, this 3-cell (3S) battery provides long-lasting power while maintaining a lightweight profile, making it ideal for drones, RC cars, boats, airplanes, and robotics projects.

Engineered with high-discharge capabilities and reliable LiPo chemistry, it ensures consistent voltage levels even under load, offering better throttle response, longer run times, and improved overall performance. The compact form factor allows it to fit into tight spaces without sacrificing power.

Key Features:

• Voltage: 11.1V (3S – 3 cells in series)

• Capacity: 4200mAh for extended usage time

• Discharge Rate: Typically ranges from 25C to 40C (verify model-specific rating)

• Connector Type: Standard XT60 or T-Plug (check listing variant)

• Balance Connector: JST-XH for cell-level charging and monitoring

• Rechargeable: Long life-cycle when used with proper LiPo chargers

• Lightweight & Compact: Designed for portable use in drones, RC vehicles, and field projects

• Application Ready: Works with quadcopters, hexacopters, airplanes, robotics kits, and power-demanding modules

• Brand: LiPower – known for performance and reliability in hobby-grade batteries

How It Works:

This 3S LiPo battery consists of three lithium polymer cells connected in series, producing a nominal voltage of 11.1V. When fully charged, the voltage peaks around 12.6V, and it’s discharged safely down to about 9.6V. The high capacity (4200mAh) ensures long usage periods, while the high discharge rate supports fast response in power-demanding applications like drone motors and RC servos.

It connects via a main discharge plug (usually XT60) to your power system and a balance plug to your LiPo charger for safe and even charging of each cell.

Typical Use Cases:

• Quadcopters, Hexacopters, and FPV Drones

• RC Cars, Boats, and Airplanes

• Robotics and Mechatronics Projects

• Arduino/Raspberry Pi-Based Power Systems

• Portable Power Banks for Field Projects

• Custom DIY Power Setups Requiring High Current

Limitations:

• Requires LiPo-Compatible Charger: Must be charged with a balance charger designed specifically for LiPo batteries

• Sensitive to Overcharge/Over-discharge: Over-voltage or deep discharge can permanently damage the battery or pose safety risks

• Requires Proper Storage: Should be stored at 3.7V per cell when not in use for long periods

• Not Waterproof: Must be protected from moisture or water exposure

• Fire Risk if Misused: Improper handling, puncture, or short-circuiting can cause fire or explosion—handle with care
