HCL-EC 7.4V 5200mAh 100C wired hardcase IC3/EC3
SMC HCL-EC 7.4V 5200mAh 100C 2S Hardcase LiPo Battery
Looking for an affordable 2S LiPo battery that doesn't sacrifice performance? The SMC HCL-EC 5200mAh 100C is an excellent upgrade or replacement battery for a wide range of 1/10-scale RC cars and trucks.
Designed for bashers, racers, crawlers, short-course trucks and everyday RC enthusiasts, this pack combines 5200mAh capacity, a 100C discharge rating and durable hardcase construction to deliver strong acceleration, dependable runtime and excellent value.
Unlike many economy LiPo batteries that use blended cathode materials, SMC's High Cycle Life Economy (HCL-EC) pack uses 100% LCO chemistry, designed to provide a strong combination of performance and cycle life.
Why We Like This Battery
At 139mm × 47mm × 26mm, this battery uses one of the most common full-size 2S hardcase footprints in the RC hobby. That makes it an excellent choice for many popular 1/10-scale vehicles without modifying the battery tray.
The 5200mAh capacity provides plenty of runtime for everyday bashing and racing, while the 100C discharge rating provides the power delivery needed for today's higher-performance brushed and brushless systems.
