SMC 2280-4S1P HCL-HP 14.8V 2200mAh 80C Flight Pack — EC3

The SMC® 2280-4S1P HCL-HP 14.8V 2200mAh 80C Flight Pack is a lightweight 4S LiPo battery from SMC’s HCL-HP (High Current Lipo — High Performance) line, fitted with an EC3 connector and purpose-built for smaller electric RC aircraft and weight-sensitive builds. Built with 100% LCO cathodes for maximum cycle life and performance, the HCL-HP line delivers consistent power output and long-term cell durability. At 14.8V nominal (4S) and 2200mAh capacity, this is an ideal pack for smaller sport planes, park flyers, and aircraft where minimizing battery weight is critical. The 80C continuous discharge rating provides strong current delivery for the brushless motor setups found in smaller 4S aircraft, maintaining stable voltage and predictable throttle response throughout the discharge cycle.
