FTX Moray 35 7.4v 800mAh Li-Ion Battery 2S Mini RC Car Power Pack FTX0774

Overview

The FTX Moray 35 7.4v 800mAh Li-Ion Battery is a premium power solution designed for RC enthusiasts seeking reliable, consistent performance from their electric RC vehicles. This compact yet powerful battery pack delivers the energy needed to keep your RC car running smoothly during extended play sessions. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK enthusiast, a casual basher, or someone exploring the world of ready to run RC vehicles for the first time, this Li-Ion battery provides the dependable power that modern electric RC cars demand.

Li-Ion technology has revolutionised the RC hobby, offering significant advantages over traditional NiMh batteries. This FTX battery harnesses that technology to deliver superior energy density, meaning more power in a smaller, lighter package. The 7.4 volt specification makes this battery compatible with a wide range of FTX mini RC models and other compact electric RC vehicles that use 2-cell (2S) battery configurations. RC enthusiasts across the UK trust FTX batteries for their consistency, longevity and value for money.

At just 800mAh capacity, this battery is purpose-built for mini RC applications where weight and size are critical factors. The Li-Ion chemistry ensures minimal self-discharge compared to older battery technologies, meaning your battery will hold its charge longer when your RC car is sitting in the garage between sessions. This is one of the key reasons why Li-Ion batteries have become the standard choice for modern electric RC cars UK-wide.

Key Features

• 7.4 Volt 2S Configuration — This dual-cell Li-Ion setup delivers the perfect voltage for FTX mini RC models and other compatible 2S systems, providing smooth power delivery and optimal performance across your vehicle's motor and ESC.
• 800mAh Capacity — The 800 milliamp-hour rating offers sufficient energy for extended running times while keeping the overall weight low, which is essential for maintaining speed and agility in mini RC vehicles.
• Li-Ion Technology — Lithium-ion chemistry provides superior energy density compared to NiMh alternatives, meaning you get more power from a smaller, lighter battery pack that won't bog down your RC car's performance.
• Consistent Voltage Delivery — Li-Ion batteries maintain stable voltage throughout the discharge cycle, ensuring your RC car receives consistent power and performance rather than the gradual voltage sag that older battery types experience.
• Low Self-Discharge Rate — Unlike NiMh batteries that lose charge sitting on the shelf, Li-Ion chemistry means your battery retains its charge for longer periods between uses, so your RC car is always ready to go.
• Compact Form Factor — Specifically designed for mini and small-scale RC applications, this battery's compact dimensions ensure it fits perfectly in vehicles designed for the FTX Moray and similar mini RC models without compromising weight distribution.
• Reliable FTX Engineering — As an official FTX battery pack, this unit is engineered to the same exacting standards as FTX's award-winning RC vehicles, guaranteeing compatibility and performance reliability.

Technical Performance

The FTX Moray 35 7.4v 800mAh Li-Ion Battery represents a significant step forward in mini RC power systems. At 7.4 volts from its 2-cell configuration, this battery delivers the nominal voltage required by most mini RC cars and compatible ESCs to operate at peak efficiency. The 800mAh capacity strikes the perfect balance between runtime and weight for mini-scale vehicles, ensuring your RC car maintains responsive handling and acceleration without being weighed down by an oversized battery pack. The Li-Ion chemistry used in this battery is far superior to older NiMh technology commonly found in budget ready to run RC cars; it offers better energy density, faster recharge characteristics, and significantly reduced self-discharge when stored. This means you'll experience more consistent performance throughout each battery charge, rather than the voltage fade that characterises NiMh systems as they discharge. The battery is purpose-engineered for the FTX Moray 35 and other FTX mini models, but may also be compatible with other 2S systems depending on connector type and vehicle specifications. Build quality is assured through FTX's reputation for producing durable, reliable components across their entire range of electric RC cars and mini vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What FTX RC models is this battery compatible with? — The FTX Moray 35 battery is designed specifically for the FTX Moray 35 mini RC boat and other FTX mini models that use 2-cell (2S) 7.4 volt Li-Ion battery configurations. Before purchasing, check your vehicle's manual to confirm battery specifications and connector type compatibility.
• What are the advantages of Li-Ion batteries for RC cars? — Li-Ion batteries offer several advantages over traditional NiMh batteries: superior energy density (more power in less weight), stable voltage throughout the discharge cycle (more consistent performance), significantly lower self-discharge rates (better shelf life), and faster recharge times. These benefits make Li-Ion the preferred choice for modern electric RC vehicles across the UK.
• How long will this battery last during use? — Runtime depends on several factors including your vehicle's motor efficiency, ESC settings, driving style, and the load placed on the motor. Generally, an 800mAh battery in a mini RC application will provide 15-30 minutes of continuous running, though this can vary. Lighter vehicles and less aggressive driving extend runtime, whilst high-speed runs and heavy acceleration reduce it.
• Can I use this battery with my existing RC charger? — Li-Ion batteries require a charger specifically designed for Li-Ion chemistry and the correct cell count (2S in this case). Never attempt to charge a Li-Ion battery with a NiMh charger, as this could damage the battery or create a safety hazard. You'll need a dedicated Li-Ion charger or a smart multi-chemistry charger that supports 2S Li-Ion configurations. FTX sell compatible USB chargers separately.
• How should I store this battery when not in use? — Store your Li-Ion battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ideally, store it at around 3.7 volts per cell (7.4 volts total for a 2S pack) rather than fully charged, as this extends the battery's lifespan. Avoid storing fully discharged batteries for extended periods. Check the battery occasionally to ensure the cells remain balanced and there are no signs of damage or swelling.
• What is the difference between this and other FTX mini batteries? — FTX produces various battery options for their different models. The Moray 35 at 800mAh is specifically sized for mini applications where compact dimensions and low weight are priorities. Other FTX batteries may offer different capacities (such as the 1500mAh Vortex battery) for vehicles where longer runtime is required. Check your vehicle's specifications to determine which capacity best suits your needs.
• Is this battery suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. This is an excellent battery choice for beginners who own compatible FTX mini models. Li-Ion technology is more forgiving than older battery types, with built-in protections that prevent over-discharge on most modern ESCs. However, always use the correct charger and follow FTX's charging guidelines to ensure safe operation and maximum battery lifespan.
