Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your Turnigy Nano-tech 2200mah 3S 35~70C Lipo Pack. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the battery to ensure proper handling, charging, and storage, which are crucial for performance and longevity.
Important Safety Information
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are powerful and can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Failure to follow these safety guidelines can result in fire, personal injury, and property damage.
- Always charge LiPo batteries on a fire-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
- Never leave charging batteries unattended.
- Use only a LiPo compatible charger with a balance function.
- Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery. The nominal voltage for a 3S LiPo is 11.1V (3.7V per cell). Do not exceed 4.2V per cell or discharge below 3.0V per cell.
- Inspect the battery for damage (swelling, punctures, leaks) before each use. Do not use a damaged battery.
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in a LiPo-safe bag or container, at a storage voltage of approximately 3.8V per cell.
- Keep batteries out of reach of children and pets.
- In case of fire, use a LiPo-specific fire extinguisher (Class D) or sand. Water is ineffective and can worsen a LiPo fire.
Product Overview
The Turnigy Nano-tech 2200mah 3S 35~70C Lipo Pack is a high-performance lithium polymer battery designed for various remote-controlled models, including helicopters, drones, and other vehicles requiring reliable power delivery. Its nano-core technology enhances conductivity and reduces internal impedance, leading to improved power output and longer cycle life.

Key Features:
- Nano-core Technology: Utilizes nanometer conductive additives for ultra-strong electron-conducting networks, improving electronic conductivity and ion transmission.
- High Discharge Rate: 35C constant discharge with a 70C burst capability, providing ample power under load.
- Reduced Internal Impedance: As low as 1.2mO, compared to 3mO of standard LiPo batteries, resulting in less voltage sag.
- Enhanced Thermal Control: Pack temperature typically does not exceed 60°C during heavy use.
- Minimal Swelling: Swelling during heavy load is less than 5%, significantly lower than standard LiPo batteries.
- Longer Cycle Life: Offers almost double the cycle life of standard LiPo technology.
- Fast Charge Capable: Supports fast charging up to 15C on some batteries (refer to specific charger capabilities).

Setup and Initial Charging
- Unpacking and Inspection: Carefully remove the battery from its packaging. Inspect for any physical damage, such as swelling, punctures, or damaged connectors. Do not use if damaged.
- First Charge: Before first use, the battery must be fully charged using a compatible LiPo balance charger.
- Connect the XT60 discharge plug to the charger's main output.
- Connect the JST-XH balance plug to the charger's balance port.
- Set the charger to "LiPo Balance Charge" mode.
- Set the voltage to 3S (11.1V) and the charge current to 1C (2.2 Amps for a 2200mAh battery).
- Initiate the charging process and monitor it closely.
- Charger Compatibility: Ensure your charger is specifically designed for LiPo batteries and supports 3S configuration.
Operating Instructions
This LiPo pack is suitable for various RC models. Ensure your model's Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and motor are compatible with a 3S (11.1V) LiPo battery and can handle the discharge rate.
Compatible Models:
- ALIGN T-REX450
- E-flite Blade 450 3D
- BEAM E4
- MSH Protos Mini
- Furion 450
- ThunderTiger E325/Mini Titan SE
- Caliber 450V
- CALIBER 400
- RAVE 450
- GAUI 330S
- And other models requiring similar specifications.
Usage Guidelines:
- Discharge Limit: Never discharge the battery below 3.0V per cell (9.0V for a 3S pack). Over-discharging can permanently damage the battery and pose a fire risk. Most ESCs have a low-voltage cutoff (LVC) feature; ensure it is set correctly for LiPo batteries.
- Current Draw: While the battery supports 35C continuous discharge, avoid sustained operation at the absolute maximum to prolong battery life.
- Temperature: Avoid operating the battery in extreme temperatures. Optimal performance is typically achieved between 0°C and 50°C.
Maintenance and Storage
- Storage Voltage: For long-term storage (more than a few days), charge or discharge the battery to its storage voltage, typically 3.8V per cell (11.4V for a 3S pack). Most LiPo chargers have a "Storage" mode.
- Storage Environment: Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials. A LiPo-safe bag or metal container is recommended.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the battery for any signs of damage or swelling.
- Connector Care: Keep connectors clean and free from corrosion. Ensure secure connections during use.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Swelling | Overcharging, over-discharging, excessive current draw, physical damage, age. | Immediately discontinue use. Do not charge or discharge. Dispose of safely according to local regulations. |
| Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) activates too soon | Battery is discharged, LVC setting is too high, or battery is aging. | Charge the battery. Check ESC LVC settings. If battery is old, consider replacement. |
| Battery not charging | Incorrect charger settings, faulty charger, damaged battery, poor connection. | Verify charger settings (LiPo, 3S, 1C rate). Check all connections. Try another charger if available. Inspect battery for damage. |
| Reduced run time | Battery aging, high current draw, cold temperatures, improper charging. | Ensure proper charging. Avoid extreme discharge. Consider battery replacement if significantly degraded. |
