The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Intelligent Heart of Your Racer or Basher! Whether you are hitting the pavement for our bi-weekly NASCAR parking lot series, or looking for the perfect drop-in power source for any Grom vehicle, your battery shouldn't be a source of stress. The Smart G2 1400mAh LiPo takes the guesswork out of power management. At Hobby Hideaway, we prioritize gear that is both high-performance and user-friendly, and this G2 battery is the gold standard for drivers who want a plug-and-play experience without sacrificing the punch needed to lead the pack or clear the next jump.
G2 Innovation: Simplicity Without Compromise The standout feature of the Smart G2 technology is the removal of the traditional balance lead. Instead, balancing is handled through a single data wire integrated into the IC2 connector. This means fewer wires to snag or break in the tight confines of a 1/12 scale chassis or a compact basher. When paired with a Smart charger, it automatically communicates its health and charging history, making it a perfect fit for a community that values both top-tier technology and ease of use for all our drivers.

Perfect for Grom Vehicles: Featuring the exact dimensions and IC2 connector required, this battery is the ultimate direct replacement or power upgrade for the entire lineup of Grom scale bashers and buggies.
Intelligent G2 Technology: Integrated microchip stores battery parameters and automatically communicates with Smart chargers for the safest charging possible.
Streamlined Design: No separate balance lead required—balancing and power are handled entirely through the rugged IC2 connector.
Consistent Power: 30C discharge rate provides reliable, sustained power for brushed and brushless motors alike.
Compact Hard Case: Durable outer shell protects the cells from the inevitable bumps and grinds of door-to-door racing or heavy stunt bashing.
Auto-Discharge Feature: Can be programmed to automatically discharge to a safe storage voltage, significantly extending the life of your investment.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because this battery is a Smart G2 component, it can actually "talk" to your charger to tell you exactly how many cycles it has been through and if it has ever encountered an over-temperature event. For our parking lot racers, we recommend checking your battery telemetry between heats. Keeping an eye on your internal resistance through the Smart interface is the best way to ensure your car stays competitive all season long. If you're new to the G2 ecosystem, bring your setup by the shop—we love walking through the data with our regulars!
