Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Voltz 4600mAh NiMH stick pack compatible with my RC car? — This battery is compatible with any RC vehicle or system designed to accept 4.8V NiMH stick packs with a Deans connector. However, you must confirm three critical factors: that your RC vehicle has a battery compartment designed for stick pack format batteries, that the physical dimensions of 92mm x 45mm x 24mm fit your vehicle's battery bay, and that your RC system is rated for 4.8V input. Consult your RC vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop for compatibility advice specific to your model.
- What is the difference between this NiMH battery and a LiPo battery? — NiMH batteries like this Voltz pack offer several advantages including greater safety margin, tolerance to overcharging, simpler charging requirements, and proven reliability across countless RC applications. LiPo batteries offer higher energy density and lighter weight but require more careful handling, dedicated balance chargers, and protective storage procedures. For recreational RC use, particularly for beginners and weekend bashers, NiMH batteries remain an excellent choice.
- How long will this battery last per charge? — Runtime depends entirely on your RC vehicle's motor efficiency, power draw, driving style, and terrain. A high-capacity 4600mAh battery will generally provide 20-40 minutes of continuous running on a typical RC vehicle, though this varies significantly. More efficient vehicles may achieve longer runtimes, whilst high-performance racing vehicles with powerful motors may draw enough current to reduce runtime to 15-20 minutes.
- Is the Deans connector standard for RC batteries? — Yes, the Deans connector is one of the most widely used connectors in the RC hobby and is found on countless RC batteries, chargers, and vehicle electrical systems throughout the UK and worldwide. This standardisation makes the Deans connector an excellent choice as you expand your RC collection, as you'll find it compatible with many different brands and models.
- Do I need a special charger for this NiMH battery? — You will need a charger specifically designed for NiMH batteries and compatible with Deans connectors. Many dedicated RC battery chargers support multiple battery types including NiMH, and you can find these at RC Model Shop or other authorised RC retailers. Do not attempt to charge this battery with a charger designed exclusively for other battery chemistries, as this may damage the battery or create safety hazards.
- Is this battery suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. NiMH batteries are ideal for RC beginners because they are forgiving of charging mistakes, durable through repeated use, and require no special storage procedures beyond basic care. If you're new to the RC hobby and exploring ready-to-run RC cars and trucks, an NiMH stick pack like this Voltz battery is an excellent starting point.
- How should I store this battery when not in use? — Store your NiMH battery in a cool, dry location at room temperature. Unlike LiPo batteries, NiMH packs do not require special storage voltage levels or fireproof containers. For extended storage periods of several months, it's good practice to give the battery a partial charge before storing to maintain cell health, though NiMH batteries are generally very tolerant of storage conditions.
