What You Can Build With This
- RC car power system with 540 brushed motor
- DIY FPV drone or quadcopter battery pack
- Autonomous mobile robot driven by L298N motor driver
- Portable power bank for 5V IoT boards via step-down regulator
Compatibility
This LiPo works with any 7.4V-rated ESC, brushed motor controller, or high-power circuit. To run 5V boards like Arduino UNO or ESP32, connect a 5V buck converter between the XT60 plug and the board. It pairs well with L298N, L293D, or BTS7960 motor drivers and common RC ESCs.
Wiring Notes
The XT60 connector has red (positive) and black (negative) wires; ensure correct polarity. Maximum continuous current is 40 A (2000mAh × 20C), so use 14-16 AWG wire for the load path. Always charge through the JST-XH balance connector with a proper LiPo balance charger.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, but you must use a step-down voltage regulator (buck converter) to drop the 7.4V to 5V. Connect the regulator input to the XT60 discharge plug and the output to Arduino’s Vin or 5V pin.
What charger do I need?
Use a LiPo balance charger that supports 2S (7.4V) cells. The JST-XH plug connects to the charger’s balance port. A separate charger is required; this listing includes only the battery pack.
Can I use this for a Raspberry Pi?
Yes, with a 5V/3A step-down converter. The battery can supply enough current for a Pi and a small display, but total runtime depends on the load (approximately 1–2 hours with typical peripherals).
