SPIDER Automation | Bonka 3S TX 2500mAh LiPo Battery – 11.1V, 3C | XT60 Discharge Connector & JST-XH Balance Plug
Product Overview & Battery Technology
The Bonka 11.1V 2500mAh 3C 3S (TX) Lithium Polymer Battery Pack is a rechargeable battery designed for compatible transmitter (TX), radio control and electronic power applications. Its three-cell series configuration provides a nominal voltage of 11.1V, while the 2500mAh capacity offers the specified energy storage for equipment designed to operate with this battery configuration.
This battery carries a 3C discharge rating. The discharge rating is an important selection parameter when matching a battery to the power requirements of a transmitter or other connected equipment. Confirm the equipment’s current demand and the battery manufacturer’s discharge specifications before use.
The pack features an XT60 discharge connector for the main power connection and a separate JST-XH balance connector for cell-balancing operations. The two connectors serve different functions: the XT60 is used for the main power connection, while the JST-XH balance lead is used with a compatible balance charger to monitor and balance individual cells.
With dimensions of 95 × 28 × 24mm, the battery is suitable for installations with adequate space for its physical size and connector arrangement. Verify voltage, connector polarity, current requirements and physical fitment before connecting it to any equipment.
