ProTek RC HV LiPo Receiver Battery Pack (Mugen/AE/8ight-X) (7.6V/2200mAh) (w/Balance Plug)
About this part
ProTek RC High Voltage Surface/Air Receiver Battery
The ProTek R/C 2200mAh HV LiPo Receiver Battery Pack brings LiHV power to your servos! This battery is a direct fit in Mugen and Team Associated 1/8 scale battery boxes, and will provide improved power and response from your HV servos.
These packs are built with a Lexan plastic shell around the outside of the battery, and then covered in blue heat shrink. The Lexan shell is designed to protect the battery cells while in the vehicle, for longer life. Note that due to the Lexan shell, sometimes the battery may feel soft to the touch on the outside of the battery; this is normal as there is a small air gap between the Lexan shell and the battery cells inside.
Features:
- Direct fit for 1/8 Losi 8IGHT and 1/8 HB battery boxes
- Works great Helicopters and Airplanes as well!
- Built in Lexan shell for added protection
- Great for HV servos!
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.

Just received this battery. It's DOA. One cell is at 3.78, other is at 0.67. This is new right out of the box and just checking the cells. I'm going to return this unfortunately, I've lost my discount and free shipping for the next order. Hopefully Amain can accomodate. --- Just an update, Amain has wonderful customer service and has corrected the issue. It's too bad the battery had an issue when it arrived, but it might be different for you.
my go to receiver pack, never had failed in all the years using it
This is the only receiver pack that doesnt break on me. love it thanks protek
Had two of these batteries pop on me. One while charging with my proteck charger that exploded into a fireball. These batteries only had a few cycles on them and they showed no signs of swelling.
Four reviews of the ProTek RC HV LiPo Receiver Battery Pack (7.6V/2200mAh) are mixed. Two verified owners give five stars, describing it as a dependable receiver pack that has not failed for them over years of use. One five-star review is similar. Two one-star reviews report serious failures: one buyer received a unit with badly unbalanced cells that was returned and replaced under warranty by the seller, and another reports two packs that failed, one catastrophically during charging with a ProTek charger after only a few cycles. Reviewers disagree on reliability, and the failure reports are the main recurring concern. Sample size is small.
- + Dependable long-term use reported
- + Durable, has not failed for some owners
- + Seller replaced defective unit
- − Reports of cell imbalance out of the box
- − Serious failure during charging reported
- − Packs failing after few cycles
