Key Features
- 4.8V Output Voltage — The four-cell configuration delivers a standard 4.8V output, which is the industry-standard voltage for receiver and servo systems across most RC vehicles, ensuring broad compatibility with your existing equipment without the need for voltage regulators or adapters.
- 2000mAh Capacity — This substantial capacity provides extended runtime, meaning you can enjoy longer driving, flying, or sailing sessions without frequent battery changes, making it excellent value for money and reducing downtime between charges.
- NiMH Chemistry — Nickel-Metal Hydride technology offers a reliable, forgiving battery type that handles overcharging better than older nickel-cadmium alternatives and delivers consistent voltage output throughout the discharge cycle, making it ideal for receiver applications where voltage stability matters.
- Square Configuration — The compact square layout maximises internal space efficiency within your RC model, fitting neatly into battery compartments designed for four AA cells whilst occupying the smallest possible footprint.
- JR Connector — This standardised connector type is recognised across the entire RC hobby and fits a vast range of receivers and transmitters, offering you maximum compatibility whether your model was built in the last year or the last decade.
- Lightweight Design — At just 110 grams, this receiver pack won't add unnecessary weight to your vehicle, helping maintain optimal balance and handling characteristics whilst keeping your model's centre of gravity in the ideal position.
- Professional Build Quality — Engineered by Radient, a recognised name in RC battery manufacturing, this pack benefits from quality construction standards that ensure reliable operation across countless charge cycles.
Technical Performance
The Radient NiMH 4.8V 2000mAh receiver pack represents proven engineering designed specifically for the demands of RC receiver systems. With its four NiMH AA cells arranged in a square configuration, this battery delivers a consistent 4.8V output that servo systems and receivers demand for precise control response. The 2000mAh capacity ensures that your receiver and servos maintain their operating voltage throughout extended driving sessions—critical for maintaining the snappy, responsive control that separates a well-tuned RC car UK setup from a sluggish one. NiMH chemistry is particularly well-suited to receiver applications because it naturally provides gradual voltage decay rather than the cliff-edge voltage drop associated with older battery technologies, meaning your servos continue operating smoothly right up until the battery needs replacing. The compact square profile measures just 51mm in length, 28mm in width and 28mm in height, making it compatible with even space-constrained receiver battery compartments found in modern RC vehicles. The JR connector is a universal standard in the RC hobby, compatible with receivers from all major manufacturers including Spektrum, Futaba, Hitec and many others. This battery pack is designed as a true replacement receiver battery, perfectly suited for anyone upgrading from older, tired batteries or maintaining a spare pack for extended RC sessions where you want to keep both vehicles running without downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this NiMH receiver pack suitable for all RC vehicles? — The Radient NiMH 4.8V pack is specifically designed as a receiver battery, making it ideal for powering receiver systems and servos in RC cars, trucks, boats, and aircraft. If your model uses a JR connector and accepts a 4.8V receiver battery, this pack will work perfectly. Always check your model's manual to confirm the correct receiver battery specification before purchasing.
- What is the advantage of NiMH chemistry for RC receiver batteries? — NiMH batteries offer several advantages over older nickel-cadmium technology: they handle overcharging better, have lower memory effect, deliver consistent voltage output throughout the discharge cycle, and are more environmentally friendly. For receiver applications specifically, NiMH provides stable voltage that keeps servo response crisp and reliable, which is essential for precise RC control.
- How long will this battery last in my RC vehicle? — Runtime depends entirely on how many servos your receiver system has and how actively you operate them. A receiver pack with this 2000mAh capacity will typically provide several hours of operation in models with one or two servos, though high-current servo usage will reduce this. The 2000mAh capacity offers a good balance of runtime and compact size for receiver applications.
- Is the JR connector compatible with my receiver? — The JR connector is one of the two most common receiver connectors in RC hobby (the other being Hitec). If your receiver or existing receiver battery has a JR connector, this Radient pack will fit perfectly. If your equipment uses a Hitec connector instead, you would need a different pack or an adapter.
- Can I use this battery for anything other than a receiver? — This pack is engineered specifically for receiver and servo systems. Whilst it could technically power other 4.8V equipment, receiver batteries are not designed for the high current demands of main drive motors or ESCs, which require dedicated main battery packs with higher discharge ratings.
- What charger do I need for this NiMH battery? — Any standard NiMH charger compatible with four AA cells or 4.8V packs will work with this battery. Many RC hobbyists use programmable chargers that allow them to balance charge multiple battery types, making them excellent for maintaining a variety of receiver packs. Always ensure your charger is specifically designed for NiMH chemistry to avoid overcharging.
- Why choose this over disposable AA batteries? — Whilst disposable batteries offer convenience for occasional use, rechargeable NiMH packs like this one deliver superior value for regular RC hobby use. A quality 2000mAh pack can be recharged hundreds of times, making it far more economical and environmentally responsible than constantly replacing disposable batteries.
