Reedy have announced the release the all new 35C 5000mAh hard case competition LiPo battery. The high capacity provides more than enough run time for today’s on‐ and off-road competitions but the best news is the battery’s 35C rating. The C rating determines the battery’s ability to deliver power efficiently and Reedy’s 35C rating delivers world‐class power for all racing classes. Capacity and power are not the only great features of this battery, socket‐style connections provide low resistance for more power. Ugly and bulky high‐resistance connectors are a thing of the past. A durable case helps protect the battery from damage and incorporates locking tabs as well as adhesive so that the case halves remain intact. Each battery comes with a charging harness that incorporates a balance connector for balance charging. Coming soon.
