- Carisma GT24B LiPo Battery 7.4V 350mAh with BEC connector
What You Need to Complete
- Compatible Carisma 2S LiPo charger — Note that the standard USB 1S Carisma charger is not suitable for this battery pack, so you will require a dedicated two-cell LiPo charging solution compatible with the 7.4V 2S specification
- Carisma GT24 series RC car (GT24B, GT24R, GT24RS, GT24 Subaru Impreza STI 2006, GT24 Toyota AE86 H2 Concept, or GT24 2.0 Subaru Impreza WRC 1999)
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use the standard USB 1S Carisma charger with this battery? — No, the standard USB 1S Carisma charger is not suitable for this two-cell 7.4V LiPo battery. You will require a dedicated 2S LiPo charger that supports two-cell lithium polymer charging to safely and properly charge this battery pack. Using an incompatible charger could damage the battery or create safety hazards.
- Which Carisma GT24 models are compatible with this battery? — This battery is compatible with the Carisma GT24RS 1/24 retro micro rally car, the GT24R 1/24 4WD brushless micro rally car in red, the GT24 Subaru Impreza STI 2006 1/24 micro RTR, the GT24 Toyota AE86 H2 Concept 1/24 micro RTR, and the GT24 2.0 Subaru Impreza WRC 1999 4WD 1/24 micro rally RTR, making it a versatile upgrade across the entire GT24 platform.
- How much does this battery improve performance? — Users consistently report that this battery makes their GT24B and GT24R models notably more mental and exciting, with visibly improved acceleration, sustained top speed, and overall responsiveness that transforms the driving experience, making it more than just an accessory but an essential performance upgrade for serious micro RC enthusiasts.
- Is this LiPo battery suitable for beginners? — Whilst this battery itself is straightforward to use once installed, LiPo batteries do require proper charging equipment and care to maintain safely and extend their lifespan. You will need to invest in a compatible 2S LiPo charger and follow proper storage and handling procedures, making it more appropriate for RC enthusiasts with previous battery experience rather than complete beginners.
- What is the 15C discharge rating and why does it matter? — The 15C rating indicates this battery can safely discharge at fifteen times its capacity per hour, meaning it can deliver up to 5.25 amperes continuously. This high discharge capability ensures the battery can power brushless micro motors without voltage sag, maintaining consistent acceleration and throttle response during demanding driving conditions.
- How long will this battery last during driving? — The 350mAh capacity typically provides several minutes of driving time depending on how aggressively you drive and the specific motor system in your GT24 vehicle. More aggressive acceleration and higher speeds consume capacity faster, whilst smooth, controlled driving extends runtime, making this capacity suitable for multiple short sessions or one extended driving period.
