Technical Performance
This HuiNa battery pack represents a thoughtfully engineered power solution specifically optimised for 1:14 scale RC construction vehicles. The 7.2V nominal voltage (6 cells × 1.2V per cell in Ni-MH chemistry) delivers consistent power output throughout the discharge cycle, ensuring your RC tipper truck, dump truck or cement mixer maintains steady performance from the moment you switch on until the battery requires recharging. The 400mAh capacity provides a practical runtime window suitable for recreational play sessions, with the actual duration depending on the specific model, driving style and load conditions of your HuiNa vehicle. The construction quality of this genuine manufacturer component ensures reliable electrical connections, robust internal cell architecture, and the thermal stability that Ni-MH technology is renowned for. Compared to older or degraded batteries, this fresh CYP1180 pack will restore your RC construction vehicle to full performance capability, eliminating the sluggish operation and reduced run times that characterise aging battery packs. The JST Red connector is colour-coded to prevent polarity reversal, a critical safety feature in RC hobby electronics that protects both your battery and your vehicle's receiver circuitry.

If you have purchased a HuiNa 1:14 model after 23rd November, we recommend confirming compatibility before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this battery compatible with my HuiNa RC construction vehicle? — This CYP1180 battery pack is designed for HuiNa models 1550, 1570, 1573, 1574 and 1577, which includes the popular 1:14 scale Tipper/Dump Truck 2.4G 10-channel model and the 10-Function Cement Mixer Truck. However, HuiNa modified specifications for the 1573 model after November 2023, so if you purchased your vehicle recently, please verify compatibility before ordering.
- How long does this battery last on a single charge? — Runtime depends on your specific HuiNa model, driving conditions and power consumption, but the 400mAh capacity typically provides 20-40 minutes of recreational play time. Owning multiple batteries allows you to rotate between packs whilst one recharges, effectively extending your total playtime.
- What charger do I need for this Ni-MH battery? — This battery features a standard JST Red connector that works with most RC hobby Ni-MH chargers available in the UK. We recommend using a dedicated Ni-MH charger or a multi-chemistry charger that supports Ni-MH packs to ensure safe, optimal charging. A basic 6-cell Ni-MH charger typically charges this 400mAh pack in 1-2 hours depending on charger output current.
- Why is Ni-MH battery technology still used for RC models? — Ni-MH batteries offer several advantages for RC construction vehicles: they are durable, forgiving of occasional overcharging, have minimal self-discharge compared to older NiCd chemistry, are safe and stable, and provide excellent value for money. They're particularly suitable for casual RC operators and children's models where maximum performance isn't the priority but reliability and ease of use are.
- Can I use this battery in other HuiNa models? — This battery is specifically designed for the HuiNa 1550/1570/1573/1574/1577 range. We do not recommend using it in other HuiNa models unless they are confirmed to use the same 7.2V 400mAh JST Red connector configuration. Using an incompatible battery could damage your RC vehicle's electronics.
- Is this a genuine HuiNa battery? — Yes, this CYP1180 is the original manufacturer part number directly from HuiNa. Genuine manufacturer batteries ensure compatibility, performance and longevity that third-party alternatives cannot guarantee.
