How About Four Electric RC
Cars Battery Pit Tips

Here are four battery pit tips you’d be smart to pay attention to…


Electric RC Cars Battery Pit Tip #1: Never charge a pack that’s hot or for that matter even warm to the touch.

Electric RC Cars Battery Pit Tip #2: The slower you charge any battery the more capacity you get - though the difference may not be a great as you’d think. If you do charge fast remember to let the pack rest and cool down completely after the charge before using.

Electric RC Cars Battery Pit Tip #3: Battery charging by the numbers…
   1 amp charge rate will charge 1000 mAH in 1 hour.
   2 amp charge rate will charge 2000 mAH in 1 hour.

This means a 4 amp charger will fully charge 1500 mAh batteries in about 20-25 minutes.

Electric RC Cars Battery Pit Tip #4: Always store battery packs fully discharged. Even if its just for a day or two.

Now the easiest way to discharge a pack is to simply drive your vehicle until it slows down. Then stop! In other words don’t keep going until the car won’t move anymore.

Yes, some batteries can handle a total and complete discharge with no problem. Others are more sensitive and will suffer from that. So just to be safe take the batteries out when you notice them fading or lacking power.

There you go. Follow these simple tips and you too will maximize the time your battery backs will be powering your electric rc cars.
