ProTek RC 2 Cell LiPo Battery: 7.6V High-Voltage Performance

The ProTek R/C 2S 130C Graphene + HV 4200mAh Shorty LiPo Battery is a great battery option for anyone looking for a lightweight, shorty style battery. Weighing only 170 grams, the HV Shorty is lighter than a standard shorty pack, with a massive increase in capacity. When compared to standard LiPo and LiHV, Silicon Graphene cells deliver improved efficiency, lower operating temperatures, lower internal resistance, better run time, increased cycle life and increased voltage.

This pack is ideal pack for 2WD and 4WD modified racing, or stock class racers that want optimum voltage for the entire run. This pack is also a great choice for 1/8 e-buggies that want to run a lightweight 2x2S saddle pack configuration. The improved efficiency of this pack will allow for lower operating temperatures and lower internal resistance. This gives users a more consistent battery pack. ProTek Graphene + 130C Packs deliver the power needed by serious racers and enthusiasts alike.

Lab testing has shown that ProTek R/C Silicon Graphene packs have double the cycle life when charged at 1C rates, and can be charged at higher amp rates, with less risk of damage to the pack. More importantly, the discharge curve is flatter, meaning the cells maintain higher voltage throughout the discharge cycle with no significant drop off. Additionally, when compared to conventional LiPo batteries Silicon Graphene batteries are lighter, providing a higher capacity per gram ratio. With 7.6V nominal voltage, 130C discharge ratings, incredibly high charge rates and ten different models to choose from, ProTek R/C 130C Graphene + packs are perfect for racers and bashers that demand the absolute best.

Features:

  • Lighter than a hardcase 2S LiPo pack of equal capacity
  • More runtime, with a dramatic increase in voltage and punch
  • Silicone Graphene can handle more abuse and deliver more current than a standard LiPo battery
  • Improved efficiency, lower operating temperatures, and lower internal resistance!
  • Perfect for stock class racers looking to shave grams
  • 10C max charge rates - 1C charge rate recommended for longest life

IMPORTANT LITHIUM POLYMER SAFETY INFORMATION

  • DO NOT leave a battery in your model when charging
  • DO NOT leave lithium batteries unattended when charging
  • ALWAYS balance charge lithium battery
  • ALWAYS use a LiPo Safe charging bag/box
  • YOU MUST use a Li-Poly specific charger to charge lithium batteries (NiMH or NiCD only chargers WILL NOT WORK!)
  • YOU MUST not over discharge lithium battery packs
  • READ & UNDERSTAND the instructions carefully before operating this battery

NOTE: When using high energy Li-Polymer Batteries, please do not over-discharge or over-charge batteries as this will result in overheated batteries. Discharging capacity can't exceed 80% of the max capacity of the pack after full charging to ensure a good cycle performance. It is recommended to fully charge a brand new battery before using and only discharge the battery 50% for the first 5 cycles. Always monitor race time and/or set a low voltage warning on ESC (End voltage cannot be lower than 3.2v per cell). Do not use a battery that has too low a voltage. Do not expose batteries to sunshine or store/charge batteries at temperatures above 35°C or in a closed car. The high-temperature environment could cause damage to the pack or make it burst. If the battery becomes hot while fast charging, high current discharging, or racing, do not charge it until it has cooled completely. Wait about 20 mins, then inspect prior to recharging.

Includes:

  • (1) ProTek R/C Battery
  • (2) 5mm to 4mm Bullet Reducers
  • (2) 5mm Bullet Connectors
  • (1) 2mm Balance Bullet Connector

ProTek RC 2S 130C Low IR Si-Graphene + HV LCG Shorty LiPo Battery (7.6V/4800mAh)
I bought two of thee "Low IR" packs and one lost an entire cell after 6 months.
The other already has an IR of 12.6 on both cells.
I'm not sure I would buy this brand again.

ProTek RC 2S 130C Low IR Si-Graphene + HV LCG Shorty LiPo Battery (7.6V/4800mAh)
Its really quite lousy , fairly high IR of 9-10 , barely a parking lot battery .
Batterys are such a crap shoot and this batch was not checked
very well for quality.
LIHV batteries are supposed to be the top 10% of a quality battery but not these. Just another fancy sticker

ProTek RC 2S 130C Low IR Si-Graphene + HV LCG Shorty LiPo Battery (7.6V/4800mAh)
Same experience as another reviewer here. Lost a cell after a few months.

Battery had less than 25 cycles when I lost that cell, always charged at 1.8-2C and stored at 3.8V

When it works it was better than some other stuff I have, but cycles per dollar this is now the most expensive one I have owned.

Amazing little battery, using on a 22x4 elite with a 13.5T motor and 24tooth pinion, seems to run about 13 minutes without and noticeable drop. Liked it so much I purchased a second.

ProTek RC 2S 130C Low IR Si-Graphene + HV LCG Shorty LiPo Battery (7.6V/4800mAh)
I bought 3 of these batteries while I was out for surgery. I didn't tinker with them at the time as I had one arm in a sling.

Fast forward to today, when I finally get a chance to go racing again after recovery, and 2 of the batteries were functioning great, IR was fantastic, took and held charge fantastically.

The third battery however, was extremely unbalanced, and even after working at it for hours to try and balance the cells, it's a no go, and I can't save it. It is however now out of the return window so I am screwed I suppose.

Moral of the story, check these the day you get them, immediately.

ProTek RC 2S 130C Low IR Si-Graphene + HV LCG Shorty LiPo Battery (7.6V/4800mAh)
Solid battery, fits well in my MD 1.0 as it has to use a LCG shorty pack. Lightweight with good capacity. I haven't really taken advantage of its HV capabilities (Accuvance Xarvis keeps resetting when I do) but I dont really need it for drift applications. Purchased 2 more 4400mah versions since writing this.

ProTek RC 2S 130C Low IR Si-Graphene + HV LCG Shorty LiPo Battery (7.6V/4800mAh)
Had this batter for under two months, used for 13.5 4wd stock class racing. Charged/discharged at 35 amps and always put into storage charge after race day and battery puffed. One cell was registering 2ish olms resistance, the other over 5 during last couple of cycles. This is the 2nd of three Protek 4800mAh batteries I've owned to do this. No issues with Reedy or Trinity batteries using same charging methods over a much longer period of time. Was good out of the box at sub 2ohm readings and felt like it had good punch and was lighter than the Reedy Zapper SG5 4800 mAh battery I was using at the time but didn't last. Back to the Reedy for me while this pack is for practice or pass along to someone at the track. Good weight, good price, didn't last when used for modern stock class racing.

What an upgrade from a gens ace battery. It’s way smaller and has way better specs. It takes longer to charge at higher amps. I get longer run times with less fade

Did not get through A-main bought from a hobby store. But put into storage for the winter and just got it out to get things together for the upcoming season and one cell is toast. Isn't even registering. very disappointing. My 6400MAH one is doing great though and has far more runs on it then this one.
