Yes, you must use a charger that is compatible with NiMH battery technology.
The dimensions are 135 x 46 x 23 mm; please measure your battery tray to ensure a proper fit.
Yes, provided the total current draw of your motor and ESC system does not exceed the discharge capabilities of the SubC cells.
Store in a cool, dry place at approximately 50% charge to preserve cell chemistry.
The battery pack weighs 380 grams.
Perform 2-3 slow charge and discharge cycles to recondition the NiMH cells.
Check for excessive drivetrain friction or binding in the RC vehicle and ensure the current draw is within limits.
Verify that the charger is set to NiMH mode and that the correct cell count is selected.
Before using the pack for the first time, it is recommended to perform a slow balance charge to ensure all cells are conditioned. Always use a charger specifically rated for NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) chemistry to avoid overcharging or thermal damage. Ensure the battery is securely fastened in the vehicle's battery tray to prevent movement during operation. To maintain the life of the battery, store it in a cool, dry place and avoid deep-discharging the pack completely. If the vehicle is to be stored for an extended period, it is best practice to discharge the pack to roughly 50% capacity.
