HCL-EC 7.4V 5200mAh 100C wired hardcase

Ditch the cheap, sagging budget packs and feel the true punch of 100% LCO chemistry with the SMC Racing HCL-EC series.

When you need reliable, hard-hitting 2S power for your 1/10 scale basher, crawler, or racer, the SMC Racing High Cycle Life - Economy (HCL-EC) series is your ultimate go-to battery. While many brands disguise cheaper, blended cell chemistries (like NMC) under fancy labels, SMC builds this pack using 100% pure Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO). What does that mean for you? It means significantly less voltage sag when you grab a handful of throttle, cooler operating temperatures, and a battery that will last for hundreds of cycles without puffing prematurely.

This pack features a rugged, 139mm long hardcase designed to drop perfectly into almost any standard 1/10 scale battery tray. Pre-wired with heavy-duty 12AWG silicone wire and your choice of connector, this 5200mAh powerhouse provides the perfect balance of long runtimes and lightweight agility, making it the ideal daily driver battery for everything from short course trucks to backyard monster trucks.

Why You'll Love It

• 100% LCO Chemistry: Unlike budget packs that use cheaper blended cells to cut costs, this battery uses pure LCO for genuine 100C punch, keeping your top speeds high and your temperatures low.
• Rugged Hardcase: Built to take a beating, the durable plastic hardcase protects the sensitive LiPo cells from physical impacts, chassis slap, and track debris during intense bashing sessions.
• High Cycle Life: The premium internal construction means this pack will maintain its internal resistance and capacity for far more charge/discharge cycles than a standard cheap LiPo.

What's In The Box

• (1) SMC Racing HCL-EC 7.4V 5200mAh 100C 2S Hardcase LiPo Battery

Note: Requires a dedicated, balance-capable LiPo charger and a fire-safe LiPo charging bag or box.

Pro-Tip: While SMC rates this pack to handle up to a 5C charge rate, we strongly recommend charging at a steady 1C (5.2 Amps). Fast charging puts less actual capacity into the pack and wears out the cells much faster. Protect your investment by balance charging at 1C, and always set your ESC's low voltage cutoff (LVC) to 3.2V or higher!
