This is the ProTek R/C "Supreme Power" 2S 3800mAh, 30C Lithium Polymer hard case battery pack. This pack includes bullet connectors for charging and balancing, and also includes a balance charge lead with a Deans style T-plug installed. The balance adapter included is a 4-pin Align/E-Flite style XH balance connector.
These battery packs are built using a hard plastic pack that is
required for use at ROAR sanctioned tracks and events. The packs are
thin enough to fit into all touring cars and off-road vehicles, and
with the humps on the bottom will be secure in vehicles designed for
side by side NiMH race packs.
These ProTek R/C battery packs can be used in any application where you need 6-cell NiMH stick or race packs, such as 1/10th scale electric touring cars or 2wd and 4wd off-road vehicles. These packs are significantly lighter when compared to regular NiMH race packs. This makes the overall vehicle weight lighter for significantly improved acceleration. These batteries also have a nominal voltage of 7.4V compared to the 7.2V of regular NiMH batteries, and have a lot lower internal resistance. This leads to better top speeds and improved 'punch' off the line when compared to NiMH batteries.
Note: Some vehicles may require some re-balancing if the light weight of these batteries cause some handling changes. To get the vehicle to balance correctly, add some weight to the battery side of the vehicle.
Unlike most other Lithium Polymer batteries, these batteries can be charged at up to 2 times the rated current, or 2C! If your charger is capable, you can charge these batteries at up 7.6A!

IMPORTANT:
1) You will need a Li-Poly specific charger to charge the pack (NiMH or NiCD only chargers WILL NOT WORK!)
2) You must not over discharge the Li-Poly battery pack.
3) Read the instructions carefully before operating this battery.
NOTE:
When using high energy Li-Polymer Batteries, please do not
over-discharge or over-charge batteries as this will result in over
heated batteries. Discharging capacity can't exceed 80% of the max
capacity of the pack after full charging to ensure a good cycle
performance. It is recommended to fully charge a brand new battery
before using and only discharge the battery 50% for first 5 cycles.
Always monitor race time and/or set a low voltage warning on ESC (End
voltage cannot be lower than 3.2v per cell). Do not use the battery that
has too low a voltage.
Do not expose batteries to sunshine or store/charge
batteries at the temperature above 35°C or in a closed car. The high
temperature environment could cause damage to the pack or make it
burst. If the battery becomes hot while fast charging, high current
discharging or racing, do not charge the battery until it has cooled
completely. Wait about 20 mins, then inspect prior to recharging.
ProTek R/C is an A Main Hobbies brand.

A+++
But...I don't believe these battery packs are ROAR legal, as not been submitted for testing.
