Battery Q

[Tarant]

A friend of mine just gave me some of those green Energizer 2500mAh rechargeable batteries, The problem is they only put out 1.2v each and that is only 4.8v. I need 6v. So I was wondering could I get a battery holder and use 5 AA instead of the usual 4. And solder a RX battery lead to it. Or would that not work. I know the extra wt, but i am a basher not racer.

Thanks.

An yes I know I need to get a peak charger and a RX batt, I am saving the $80 or so to buy them. I just want to know if these batteries will work.

Yeah, that should be fine. @ 2500 mah you'll get a lot of runtime out of it. just make sure it'll fit where you want to mount it.. that'll be a large rx pack.

Okay thanks Lessen,

I went to radiohack and got a 1 AA battery holder, and got it all hooked up. It isnt to shabby, I was able to put the extra battery towards the front to help balance things out. It works perfectly.

cool deal. What kind of vehicle is this in anyways?

It is in a Hyper 7 PBS, with 625 and 645 Hitech servos. And I was wrong they were Radiohack batteries and they were 2000mAh, that will still last a long time.

yeah, that's a long time for a Rx pack. I run a 1200 in my buggy and it lasts an entire race day. I run Energizer rechargeables in my Tx though... seems to last forever.
