Technical Performance

The Traxxas Power Cell NiMH battery pack represents a refined approach to powering compact 1/16 scale RC vehicles. With a rated capacity of 1200mAh and 7.2V output from six NiMH cells, this battery is engineered specifically for the voltage and capacity requirements of the Traxxas Slash 1/16 4x4 short course truck and the E-Revo VXL 1/16 4x4 brushless monster truck. The low-resistance cell chemistry ensures that voltage remains stable throughout the discharge cycle, providing consistent acceleration and performance rather than the voltage sag that can occur with lower-quality battery packs. The heavy-duty welded tabs, a hallmark of professional battery construction, create a more reliable electrical path than standard soldered connections, reducing the potential for connection failures during demanding driving conditions. The 16-gauge wire leads are appropriately sized for this capacity and voltage rating, ensuring that current flows efficiently to your model without unnecessary losses. Users can expect approximately 12 to 20 minutes of continuous run time depending on driving style and vehicle setup, with faster charging times when used with peak-detecting NiMH chargers rated at 2 amps maximum. The compact dimensions of 94mm length, 34mm width, and 17mm height make this battery ideally suited to the tight confines of 1/16 scale vehicle battery compartments, whilst the flat stick configuration ensures optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the runtime of the Traxxas 7.2V 1200mAh NiMH battery? — Most users report between 12 and 20 minutes of continuous run time on a single full charge, depending on driving style, terrain, and vehicle configuration. More aggressive driving with frequent acceleration will consume the battery faster, whilst steady cruising and lighter use will extend the run time towards the upper end of this range.
• Can I use this battery with my existing charger? — This battery requires a peak-detecting charger specifically rated for NiMH batteries with a maximum charge rate of 2 amps. Many Traxxas chargers and quality third-party NiMH chargers are compatible. Always check that your charger's specifications match before charging, as using an incompatible charger can damage the battery or create safety hazards.
• Is this battery suitable for beginners? — Yes, NiMH batteries are an excellent choice for RC beginners and recreational drivers. They are more forgiving than LiPo batteries, require less specialised knowledge to maintain, and do not demand the same level of care regarding storage, balancing, and overcharge protection. The iD connector system adds an extra layer of user-friendliness by ensuring proper identification of the battery type.
• How does this compare to a LiPo battery for my 1/16 scale RC vehicle? — This NiMH pack offers several advantages for recreational use: lower cost, no requirement for specialist LiPo chargers or balancing equipment, more forgiving if accidentally overdischarged or stored improperly, and no fire risk if punctured. LiPo batteries offer higher energy density and better power delivery in a smaller package, but require more careful handling, specialised chargers, and constant monitoring. For casual RC car UK bashers and weekend drivers, NiMH represents the more practical and user-friendly choice.
• Will this battery fit in my Traxxas Slash or E-Revo VXL? — Yes, this battery is specifically designed for the 1/16 Traxxas Slash and E-Revo VXL models. The flat stick configuration with dimensions of 94mm x 34mm x 17mm is engineered to fit perfectly in these vehicles' battery compartments. Before installation, verify that your specific model variant uses a compatible battery bay.
• Can I run this battery in series with another to increase power? — Some Traxxas users do run two compatible batteries in series to increase voltage and performance, though this is not an officially recommended configuration. If attempting this, ensure your vehicle's electronics and charging system can safely handle the resulting voltage increase, and consult Traxxas technical support or experienced RC hobbyists before attempting.
• How long does this battery take to charge? — At the recommended 2-amp maximum charge rate, expect full charging to take approximately 45 minutes to one hour, depending on your specific charger model. Slower charge rates (such as 1 amp) will extend this time but can be gentler on battery longevity. Always follow your charger's manufacturer guidance for optimal charging practices.
