The Hobbico LiFeSource 200mAh 6.6V LiFe receiver battery is perfect for powering receivers for 1/10 and 1/12 scale racing where a 1S LiPo is used as a power pack. Featuring a universal connector, this pack may also be used for small gliders and other lightweight aircraft. It’s tiny 30 x 23 x 12mm size allows it to fit inside the smallest of spaces and at 15 grams, it’s among the lightest Rx batteries ever produced! LiFeSource lithium-iron phosphate battery technology (LiFeP04) offers very high energy density, very light weights, and the longest cycle life of any batteries sold for RC. LiFeSource batteries are also among the safest batteries available. Pack the power you need with Hobbico LiFeSource LiFe batteries!
