This is the new OVONIC 2S Lipo battery 5000mAh 50C from Ampow. The battery features a hard case design with a 12-gauge pre-wired Deans (T-style) connector and JST-XH balance charge connector. It is rated with a 50C discharge and 100C max burst discharge rate. The battery is a standard “stick pack” with dimensions of 137mm x 45mm x 24mm and weighs in at 302 grams.

This OVONIC pack is ideal 1/10-scale off-road vehicles which use a full-length battery pack (such as short course trucks, monster trucks, and rock crawlers).

This 5000mah lipo battery pack provided ample run-time in our Traxxas 2wd Slash with a modified motor and remains well balanced and consistent charge after charge.
