FAQs
What is the physical size of this battery?
The battery measures 22mm in diameter and 42mm in height.
Can I use a standard Alkaline battery charger?
No. You must use a charger specifically designed for Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) chemistry to prevent damage or safety hazards.
What does the 2000mAh rating mean?
This refers to the milliampere-hour capacity, indicating how much energy the battery can store and deliver over a specific period.
Are these batteries suitable for high-speed racing?
While they are high quality, they are best suited for sport-level performance. Ensure your model's current draw requirements do not exceed the battery's chemical capabilities.
Does this battery have button-top or flat-top terminals?
This model features flat-top terminals.
Troubleshooting
Battery will not hold a charge.
Verify that your charger is explicitly compatible with Ni-MH batteries and ensure the contact points on the charger are clean.
Low runtime during use.
Ensure the battery was fully charged before use and check your RC model for mechanical drag or shorts that may be draining power faster than normal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High 2000mAh capacity for long run times
- Standard Sub C size ensures broad compatibility
- Reliable Ni-MH performance
- Compact and lightweight for hobbyist needs
Cons
- Flat top terminals may not work with all spring-loaded contacts
- Requires proper Ni-MH compatible charging equipment
- Not intended for high-discharge racing applications exceeding its chemical limits
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum lifespan and performance, use only a charger designed specifically for Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) chemistry. Because these cells feature flat-top terminals, ensure your device or battery pack holder is designed to accommodate flat-top connections, or be prepared to spot-weld or solder connection tabs if building a custom pack.
Care Tips:
- Avoid deep discharging the battery completely, as this can degrade overall cell health over time.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- If storing for long periods, perform a maintenance charge cycle every 3-6 months to maintain internal chemistry stability.
