LIPO batteries
Many RC model enthusiasts have been seduced by the performance of electric radio-controlled cars , and more generally battery-powered vehicles or planes . Usually appreciated by beginners in RC modeling , electric radio-controlled cars have the advantage of being cleaner and less noisy than equivalent thermal vehicles . In addition, the new LIPO batteries have revolutionized electric RC modeling !
With their high charging level, LIPO batteries offer exceptional performance: electric cars can even exceed thermal propulsion in speed. The only downside, easy to anticipate, lies in the autonomy of electric model vehicles. To avoid breakdown, simply bring spare LIPO batteries: the RC Team online store offers a wide choice of powerful LIPO batteries, manufactured by manufacturers known to all modelers, notably E propulsion System and Gens Ace .
LIPO batteries 1S, 2S, 3S, 4S
LIPO batteries are new generation rechargeable lithium batteries. Unlike the old LI-ION accumulators, which presented lithium in the ionic state, the accumulators contain lithium in the polymer (gel) state. This constitution has numerous advantages for use on radio-controlled cars , and more generally in RC modeling . The batteries do not suffer from a level of discharge: they maintain a constant power throughout their duration of use, which ensures better performance of the radio-controlled vehicle.
LIPO batteries are also lighter and smaller, making them easier to adapt to many RC models, from 4x4s to racing cars to buggies . Our team of RC boat, land and air model specialists have selected high quality LIPO batteries to ensure the best results on the circuit, on the water or in the air! It's up to you to determine the right model based on your radio-controlled vehicle: 1S LIPO battery for one cell , 2S for two cells , 3S for three cells , 4S for four cells , 5S for five cells , etc.
Choosing the right LIPO batteries for your radio-controlled car
It is recommended to have one or two spare LIPO batteries in stock, so as not to run out of fuel on the circuit or adventure playground! But before ordering a new LIPO battery from the RC Team online store, take the time to study your radio-controlled vehicle! Consumption, supply voltage required by the engine, size and weight of the car will determine the choice of LIPO battery you will need.
It is also important to know how to decipher the information written on a LIPO battery to avoid handling accidents. The voltage is determined by the number of LIPO cells: the more there are, the higher the value... and the faster the electric motor runs. The capacity is expressed in milliamps (mAh), and influences the autonomy of the vehicle. A long-life LIPO battery is always heavier and more bulky: carefully check the dimensions of your vehicle! Finally, the discharge rate specifies the maximum continuous discharge capacity of the battery.
