Reedy 5800mAh 65C 7.4V SQ LiPo battery

We brought you a scoop of Reedy’s new 7.4V SQ LiPo battery pack during the recent IFMAR 1/10 Buggy World Championships and now Reedy officially announce the 2S battery pack. It is designed to replace the standard 2-piece side-by-side saddle pack with a single hard-case battery. By eliminating the need for a jumper wire and reducing the number of internal connections, power output and efficiency are improved. Dual 4mm sockets with a 2mm balance port allows users to balance charge the battery in the same manner as stick and shorty batteries. The pack measures 93×68.5×25.1mm, weights 318g and is ideal for all chassis that can take side-by-side saddle pack batteries.
