Hobbytech Toys stocks the batteries and chargers that keep your RC cars, trucks, and planes powered and ready to drive. Grab a 1S LiPo for micro cars or step up to a 6S pack for bigger race builds and aerobatic planes. NiMH and NiCd batteries are available for older models, and LiFe packs give you a stable power source with less maintenance. You’ll also find charge leads, plug adaptors, and LiPo safe bags to help charge and store your batteries safely. Pick a battery that matches your setup so you can spend less time charging and more time driving.
What type of batteries do RC cars use?
Most RC cars run on LiPo batteries, typically 2S, 3S, or 4S, depending on the car’s size and power needs. Small-scale cars might use a 1S pack, while larger setups sometimes use 6S for maximum power. NiMH and NiCd batteries are common in older or entry-level models, and LiFe packs give you a stable option with lower maintenance.
How long should an RC car battery last?
On a full charge, most hobby-grade LiPo batteries give you about 20 to 45 minutes of run time, depending on the motor and how hard you drive. High-speed runs drain the battery quicker, sometimes in 15 minutes, while slow crawling or trail driving can stretch the charge longer.
How do I know if an RC battery is bad?
A sweet or chemical smell from a LiPo battery is a clear sign it’s damaged and should be replaced. Other signs include swelling, uneven cell voltage when checked with a battery checker, or losing charge faster than normal. Crashes, drops or overcharging often cause this kind of damage.
