Overview and practical uses

This Intellect IP-CC2S1600-40C pack is a 7.4V Lithium Polymer battery aimed at race-style use in 1/18 scale RC cars. Rated at 1600mAh with a 40C continuous discharge, it offers a balance of capacity and compact dimensions for many short-wheelbase chassis. Supplied connectors are XH2.5 for balance and ABC(5102) for discharge, and the pack's nominal size is 87x32x19mm.

On the bench and at the track this Li-Po is useful for evaluating ESC and motor response across different charge levels. Typical installation advice applies: secure the pack to prevent movement, route leads to avoid stress, and keep the balance plug accessible when charging. This is a model-only battery; do not use in any full-size equipment.

How should I measure voltage sag with this battery?

Monitor pack voltage under a representative load using a data logger or a voltmeter while the car runs. Compare readings at different charge states to quantify sag; if sag is excessive, consider a higher C-rated pack.

Can this pack handle bashing as well as racing?

The 40C rating supports typical short bursts found in both racing and light bashing, but heavy or prolonged bashing that draws sustained high current may require a pack with greater C capability for thermal headroom.

What is the safest way to change the discharge connector?

If you need a different discharge plug, desolder the factory connector carefully, preserve wire polarity, and solder the replacement using proper heat shrink and insulation. Test connections for secure contact before use.

Does pack weight affect handling in 1/18 cars?

Yes, battery mass and placement influence balance and handling. The compact dimensions of this pack make it easier to position centrally; confirm the weight and location work with your chassis setup for best handling.
