How long does a 6000mAh 2S pack last?

Quick answer

A 6000mAh 2S LiPo lasts about 14 minutes at a 20 A average draw (1/10 2wd brushless, mixed driving), using 80 percent of capacity. It holds 44.4 Wh at 7.4 V, and charges from a normal run in about 161 minutes at 2 A.

The draws are typical averages over a run, not peaks. Launches and wheelies pull several times more for a moment. Runtime = 6 Ah x 0.8 usable / average amps x 60. Try your own figures in the LiPo runtime calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a 6000mAh battery last in an RC car?

At 2S it depends almost entirely on average current draw. 1/10 crawler, trail pace: about 58 minutes; 1/10 2WD brushed truck: about 24 minutes; 1/10 2WD brushless, mixed driving: about 14 minutes; 1/10 4x4 brushless bashing: about 12 minutes. These use 80 percent of the rated capacity, which is the safe depth of discharge for LiPo packs. Bigger tires, taller gearing and grass all raise the draw and shorten runtime.

What C rating do I need for a 6000mAh 2S pack?

Maximum continuous current is capacity in amp hours times C. At 6000mAh a 50C pack is rated for about 300 A and a 100C pack for 600 A. Real draw in most cars is far lower, so a quality 50C pack is plenty for 1/10 bashing; the higher rating mostly means less voltage sag and a cooler pack.
