Technical specifications at a glance

Common devices this battery works with

This pack is designed to power a wide range of hobby RC vehicles including monster trucks, Lionel Polar Express trains, Tonka Ricochet trucks, RC Beetles, Traxx Tyco cars, Radio Shack cars, and Nikko RC models. It also serves as a replacement for diagnostic tools like the OTC Genisys 239180 and EVO Scan scanner.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this battery in my RC car without modifying the connector?

Only if your car already uses a standard Tamiya connector. If it uses a different plug (e.g., Deans, XT60, or a proprietary shape), you'll need an adapter or to change the connector.

How long does it take to charge?

The supplier does not specify a charge time. With a typical NiMH charger at 150-300mA, expect 5-10 hours. Use a charger designed for NiMH packs and follow its instructions.

Is this battery safe for indoor use?

Yes. NiMH batteries are generally safe for indoor use as they don't leak corrosive electrolyte like NiCd. Keep away from moisture and extreme heat.
