GNB 2200mAh 3S 11.1V 100C LiPo Battery - High-Burst XT60 Connector for RC Planes & Boats
In the 2026 hobbyist and industrial sectors, the 2200mAh 3S remains the most versatile battery size. GNB's 100C evolution utilizes high-density "Black Card" cell technology, which provides a lower internal resistance (IR) than standard blue-label batteries. This is particularly vital for pilots in India, as lower IR translates to less heat buildup during intensive flights in high-ambient temperatures.
Key Technical Advantages:
100C Continuous / 200C Burst: Engineered for "punch." Whether it's a 3D plane pulling out of a hover or a combat robot engaging a motor, this battery provides the current overhead to prevent brownouts.
Superior Energy Density: By optimizing the internal stacking, GNB has kept this 100C pack at a competitive weight (~180g), ensuring your aircraft’s center of gravity remains easy to manage.
Industrial Grade XT60: Features a genuine, high-temp nylon XT60 connector, ensuring a secure, low-resistance connection that won't melt under sustained high-amp draws.
Vibration Resistant Casing: The cells are wrapped in a reinforced PVC shrink with internal shock-absorbing plates, protecting the battery from the high-frequency vibrations of brushless motors.
Fast Charge Optimization: Supports safe charging up to 5C, though 1C-2C is recommended for maximum longevity.
FAQ: Top 5 Questions on GNB 2200mAh 3S 100C
Q1: What kind of flight time can I expect with this battery?
A: In a standard 1.1m–1.2m park flyer (like a Timber or T-28), you can expect 6 to 10 minutes of mixed-throttle flight. In a high-speed RC boat, times are usually shorter, around 4 to 6 minutes.
Q2: Is a 100C rating actually necessary for an RC plane?
A: For basic "scale" flying, no. However, for 3D aerobatics, EDF jets, or racing, the 100C rating ensures that when you jam the throttle, the motor gets the voltage it needs instantly. Higher C-ratings also generally mean the battery runs cooler and lasts for more cycles.
Q3: Can I use this battery in a 6S setup?A: Yes, by using a Series Adapter, you can connect two of these 3S 2200mAh batteries to create a 6S 2200mAh setup. Just ensure both batteries have the same age, cycle count, and charge level before connecting them.
Q4: What is the maximum safe charge current?
A: While the "safe" limit is 5C (11A), for the longest life, you should charge at 1C (2.2A). If you are at the field and in a hurry, 2C (4.4A) is a good middle ground that won't stress the cells excessively.
Q5: Why does my battery feel slightly warm after a flight?
A: A rise in temperature is normal for LiPos under load. As long as it isn't "hot" (above 55°C) or showing signs of swelling (puffing), it is operating within its parameters. If it’s very hot, consider a higher C-rating or more cooling airflow in your fuselage.
