How does this battery handle rapid charging and long runtime?
The 2000mAh capacity gives this pack a longer runtime compared to standard 1500mAh or 1800mAh packs, so you can keep your RC model in the air longer. NiMH chemistry allows for rapid charging without the memory effect seen in older NiCd cells. However, the supplied data does not specify a maximum charge rate, so follow the guidelines for your specific charger. The high capacity is ideal for receivers that draw more power, such as those running multiple servos or digital servos.
Which RC receivers and models work with this battery pack?
This Tenergy pack works with receivers that accept a standard Hitec connector (female). It is compatible with popular brands including Hitec, Futaba, JR, and many others used in RC airplanes and helicopters. The 22 AWG silicone wire provides flexibility for routing, and the compact size helps it fit into most receiver boxes. Always check the physical dimensions of your receiver bay to ensure clearance.
What is the build quality like on this 4.8V pack?
Tenergy uses a welded construction method that joins the cells without excessive heat, which helps preserve cell integrity and reduce internal resistance. The 22 AWG silicone wire remains flexible even in cold conditions and resists melting from soldering irons. The pack is wrapped in a durable shrink tube that protects the cells from debris and minor impacts. Each unit is assembled with four AA NiMH cells matched for consistent performance.

Tenergy backs this receiver battery with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you have any issues with the pack within that period, their customer support team is available to help resolve problems.
