Technical Performance

The Voltz 3000mAh 7.2V NiMH Stick Pack represents a carefully engineered power source that balances capacity, voltage delivery and physical form factor to meet the needs of traditional RC vehicles. The 7.2V output is achieved through six individual NiMH cells connected in series, with each cell contributing 1.2V of nominal voltage to reach the total 7.2V specification. The 3000mAh capacity indicates the amount of electrical charge the battery can deliver, and this level of capacity is particularly well-suited to RC cars, buggies and trucks that operate in the 2-3kg weight range with standard brushed or brushless motors rated for 7.2V systems. The specific dimensions of 135mm length, 45mm width and 25mm height represent the standard form factor for stick packs, meaning you'll find these batteries fit seamlessly into battery boxes designed for this specification across vintage and contemporary RC platforms throughout the UK hobby market. The Deans connector (also known as a T-Plug) is manufactured from robust materials and features a spring-loaded contact design that ensures proper electrical continuity whilst remaining secure during high-performance running. The NiMH cell chemistry provides stable voltage delivery throughout the discharge cycle, meaning your RC vehicle will maintain consistent performance even as the battery depletes, without the dramatic voltage sag that can occur with some alternative battery types. Real-world runtime will typically range from 20 to 45 minutes depending on your specific RC vehicle, driving style, motor type and terrain, making this pack suitable for extended play sessions or multiple shorter runs with a quick recharge in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this battery work with my RC car or RC truck? — Yes, provided your vehicle was originally designed for 7.2V power and features a Deans connector. This voltage and connector type was standard across most RC cars and trucks produced over the past two decades, making this pack compatible with a huge range of vehicles including classic platforms still popular throughout the UK RC community. If you're unsure whether your specific model is compatible, consult your vehicle's original manual or ask our expert team at RC Model Shop.
• What charger do I need to charge this battery? — You'll need a charger suitable for NiMH batteries in the 6-8 cell range (7.2V nominal). A 600mA 5W NiMH charger will successfully charge this pack in approximately 5 hours. Many battery chargers sold at RC Model Shop feature universal connectors or specific Deans connector compatibility, allowing you to charge multiple batteries. We recommend checking your existing charger's specifications, as many hobbyists already own compatible charging equipment.
• How long does this battery last on a single charge? — Runtime will vary depending on your specific RC vehicle, motor type, driving style and terrain conditions. Generally, you can expect 20 to 45 minutes of driving time per charge, making it ideal for a fun session at your local RC track or bash spot, or for multiple shorter runs with recharging in between.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. NiMH batteries are extremely beginner-friendly because they're very difficult to damage through incorrect charging, they tolerate storage without special procedures, and they deliver consistent power suitable for learning to drive RC vehicles. Unlike LiPo batteries which require specialist knowledge, the Voltz 3000mAh 7.2V NiMH stick pack is forgiving and straightforward, making it perfect for anyone just discovering the RC hobby.
• Can I use a standard USB charger to charge this battery? — No, you cannot use a standard USB charger. You must use a dedicated NiMH battery charger because USB chargers are not designed to deliver the correct charging profile for NiMH cells, and attempting to do so could damage the battery or pose a safety risk. Proper NiMH chargers are inexpensive and readily available from RC retailers throughout the UK.
• Does this battery come with a charger? — No, the Voltz 3000mAh 7.2V NiMH Stick Pack does not include a charger. You'll need to purchase a compatible NiMH charger separately. RC Model Shop stocks suitable chargers that work with this battery, so you can order everything you need in one convenient transaction.
• Will this fit in compact RC models like the Latrax Teton? — No. The Voltz stick pack uses standard stick pack dimensions (135mm x 45mm x 25mm) which are designed for mid-size and larger RC vehicles. Compact micro-scale models like the Latrax Teton require much smaller battery packs and won't accommodate a standard stick pack. Always check your vehicle's battery compartment dimensions and original manual before purchasing replacement batteries.
• Is this battery waterproof? — The Voltz 3000mAh 7.2V NiMH Stick Pack features a standard plastic cell case that provides basic water resistance suitable for splashing and wet terrain, though submersion should be avoided. If you plan to run your RC vehicle in wet conditions, ensure the battery connector area stays as dry as possible and allow the pack to dry completely before charging.
