  LiPO Batteries (1s to 6s)

  LiPo batteries are the heart of your RC aircraft, quads and cars, so we focus on packs that deliver consistent power, honest C ratings and reliable cycle life. At The Flite Lab you will find a curated range of 2S, 3S and 4S LiPo packs for park flyers, foam board builds, sport models and FPV, with capacities from small park packs up to the very popular 2200mAh 3S 11.1V LiPo size used in many trainers and warbirds.

  We stock trusted brands such as Gens Ace and XPower, with clear specifications, real world dimensions and XT60 connectors on most flight packs. That makes it easy to choose a pack that fits your model, your ESC and your flying style without guessing. Each product page lists capacity, voltage, C rating, connector type and approximate use cases so you can match the battery to your aircraft or multirotor with confidence.

  Whether you are kitting out a first foam trainer, powering a 3S 2200mAh park flyer, or looking for a higher C rated pack for more demanding setups, our LiPo selection is built around practical RC use rather than generic “cheap cells”. All stock is held locally and orders are shipped quickly, with easy delivery anywhere in South Africa.

  Ni-MH Batteries

  NiMH batteries are a dependable choice for RC receivers, transmitters and onboard electronics. Nickel metal hydride cells offer stable voltage, good capacity and a robust chemistry that copes well with everyday club use, field charging and storage. They are ideal for pilots and drivers who want reliable power without worrying about storage voltages or special handling rules.

  In this category you will find common NiMH receiver packs and stick packs used in RC aircraft, cars and boats, including four and five cell flat packs for receivers and compact packs for radios and starter boxes. Each product lists voltage, capacity, cell count and connector type so you can match the pack to your model and charger with confidence.

  NiMH packs are especially well suited to glow and gas models where a dedicated receiver pack is preferred, as well as to older radios and surface models that were designed around this chemistry. All NiMH batteries in this range are sourced from trusted suppliers, held in local stock and shipped quickly, with easy delivery anywhere in South Africa.

  Alkaline and Coin...

  Alkaline penlight batteries are the simple, reliable power source for everyday gear around your home, workshop and flying field. From transmitters and radios to torches, remotes, scales and small tools, good quality AA and AAA cells keep everything running without the need for chargers, special care or complicated setup.

  In this category you will find a selection of alkaline AA, AAA and other common sizes from trusted brands, chosen for consistent performance and sensible pricing. Each product clearly lists the battery size, chemistry and pack quantity so you can quickly pick the right cells for your transmitter, field box, household devices or backup kit.

  Alkaline batteries are ideal for low to medium drain devices and for situations where you want grab and go convenience with a long shelf life. All stock is held locally and shipped quickly, with easy delivery anywhere in South Africa.

  LiFe Batteries

  LiFe batteries, also known as LiFePO4 packs, are a stable rechargeable battery option commonly used in RC for receiver power, radios and ignition systems where consistent voltage and reliability matter. Most RC LiFe packs are 6.6V, which is the typical nominal voltage for a 2S LiFe setup, making them a practical choice when you want a robust alternative to LiPo for onboard electronics.

  In this category you will find 6.6V LiFe batteries in popular capacities including 1300mAh, 1800mAh and 2100mAh. Lower capacities suit lighter setups and shorter sessions, while higher capacities are useful for longer runtime, higher servo load, or keeping voltage stable across a full day at the field. Always match the pack size, connector and capacity to your model’s available space and the current draw of your electronics.

  All LiFe batteries listed here are stocked in South Africa and shipped countrywide. If you are unsure which capacity is best for your receiver, transmitter or ignition setup, or you want to confirm charging compatibility, contact us and we will help you choose the correct pack for your application.
