This collection therefore focuses on 2S CNHL Racing Series batteries rather than conventional single 4S brick packs. Two 7.4V 2S LiPo batteries used in series provide a 14.8V nominal 4S power system, while allowing the battery weight to follow the OCTOX twin-battery chassis layout. The OCTOX Pro and Ultimate are competition chassis without a factory-installed ESC or motor, so there is no single original battery connector that every car must use. EC5 and T/Dean options are both included here for custom builds, with the correct choice depending on the ESC, series wiring and connector configuration fitted to the individual car. For a twin-pack setup, use two batteries of the same model, capacity, chemistry and specification. CNHL options in this collection range from 5200mAh and 5600mAh packs for more weight-conscious setups through 6200mAh and 6600mAh choices to 8000mAh and 9000mAh batteries for longer track sessions. Standard 7.4V LiPo is the straightforward 4S direction, while selected 7.6V LiHV packs are intended for compatible custom systems where the higher fully charged voltage has been check
