Cloggie Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Hope this is the right forum. I bought a nice remote control car for my son but of course the rechargeable batteries are very, very bad - they only work for about 4 minutes before they are 'empty' :-( Somebody know where I can buy a GOOD battery pack, it looks like I need 8 batteries - 1.2V Thanks.

Crossy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Amorn have a good selection of cells which you (or they) could make up into a suitable pack. Pretty good chance that you can get higher capacity cells in the same form factor too. Take the existing pack with you. If you have a fast-charger, two or three packs will keep you operating continuously EDIT If you want to spend a bit more then getting LiPo batteries of the same voltage would also be an option to increase capacity significantly, but they are not cheap and you'll need to get the correct charger too.

Cloggie Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Crossy - thanks for the info. Unfortunately there is no Amorn in my province so that is not an option at the moment. Found out on Internet that it is better to buy LiPo batteries and charger - as you suggested - but it looks like now that the batteries and charger will cost more than the RC car :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
