Rechargeable Batteries For Your RC Car

An RC car is run and operated by batteries. RC car batteries are
important parts because basically, your electronic RC car will
not run if it doesn't have batteries in it. On the other hand,
even if it has batteries in it, it should be the correct
batteries. There are in fact a lot of checking and testing first
before you put it to use for your RC car.

RC cars and trucks that runs electronically need to be the
rechargeable ones to compensate for the running hours of your
practice and competition duration. Since there are so many types
of batteries out in the market, you need to make sure that you
have the correct information regarding the needed battery device
for your RC car. So, first of all, know that rechargeable
batteries are the NiCD and NiMH ones. NiCD stands for
nickel-cadmium while NiMH is for nickel-hydride. Other than the
two, it is not rechargeable so be very careful with this detail.

The brand that you prefer comes next because there are
affordable rechargeable batteries on sale but ones which do not
meet the needed requirement for running RC cars and trucks.
Regardless though, make sure that you choose a battery brand
that conforms well to your RC car/truck's running time needs.

The battery charger that you use also counts and lengthens the
life of a rechargeable battery. Make sure that you select a good
charger that automatically stops from charging when the battery
is already full.

A battery pack has a specific voltage (V), power consumption (W)
and Maximum Current Drain (A) limit and so it is also important
for you to know these things. Take for instance the required
volts of a battery to run a RC car is 7.2. This is already good
for running a car for about 10 minutes but then, there are also
conditions which affects the running time of a RC car.

Batteries are usually sold by packs, each pack consisting at
least six or more batteries. The difference between the two NiCD
and NiMH is the shelf life of each. A NiCD can last up to six
months where as a NiMH battery can last up to 12 months.
Regardless, keeping your RC car in its most top condition and
making sure that you drive it with extra care helps your
batteries perform at its best.
