This genuine part number CYP1009 is manufactured by HuiNa, the original equipment maker, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability with your HuiNa mini RC vehicle.
The 4.8V voltage and 400mAh capacity of this NiMH battery pack make it ideal for the smaller scale RC models in the HuiNa range. NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) technology offers excellent reliability and durability, with no memory effect issues that plagued older battery types. This makes the HuiNa 1331 Battery an economical choice for RC enthusiasts looking to expand their battery collection without breaking the bank.
Key Features
- 4-Cell Configuration — This battery pack contains four cells arranged in series to deliver the 4.8V output required by HuiNa 1331, 1332, and 1333 models. The four-cell design ensures balanced power delivery and optimal performance throughout your RC driving session.
- 400mAh Capacity — With 400mAh of capacity, this battery provides sufficient runtime for mini RC cars without excessive weight. The 400mAh rating is perfectly calibrated for the power demands of these smaller scale models, giving you practical playtime between charging cycles.
- NiMH Battery Chemistry — NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries are renowned for their reliability, safety, and robustness in RC applications. Unlike older NiCd batteries, NiMH technology eliminates memory effect, allowing you to charge at any state of discharge without degrading battery lifespan. This makes maintenance straightforward and extends the life of your investment.
- White SM Connector — The white SM connector provides a standardised, secure connection interface. This connector type ensures reliable power delivery and safe battery installation. Please note: current HuiNa models may use a red JST connector instead, so verification of your specific model's connector type is essential before purchasing.
- Genuine OEM Component — As the original equipment manufacturer part (CYP1009), this battery is engineered by HuiNa specifically for these models. Genuine parts guarantee perfect fit, proper electrical specifications, and warranty support that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
- Multi-Model Compatibility — This single battery pack is compatible with three different HuiNa models: the 1331, 1332, and 1333. This versatility makes it an excellent choice if you own multiple HuiNa vehicles, as one battery type serves your entire fleet.
Technical Performance
The HuiNa 1331 Battery delivers 4.8 volts of power through four NiMH cells, each contributing 1.2V to create a stable voltage output perfect for mini RC cars. The 400mAh capacity is specifically matched to the power consumption of the HuiNa 1331, 1332, and 1333 models, ensuring that runtime is optimised without creating excessive weight that would affect handling characteristics. NiMH chemistry is particularly well-suited to mini RC applications because it provides consistent discharge characteristics throughout the charging cycle, meaning your vehicle maintains strong performance right up until the battery is nearly depleted. The white SM connector is a standard interface in the RC hobby, engineered for safe, secure connections that prevent accidental disconnection during operation. Build quality from HuiNa is consistently reliable, with proper internal cell construction and protective circuitry to prevent over-discharge and short circuits. For RC enthusiasts running mini models in the UK, this battery represents excellent value for money whilst maintaining the electrical reliability and safety standards essential in powered RC toys.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this battery fit my HuiNa RC model? — This battery is specifically designed for HuiNa 1331, 1332, and 1333 models with a white SM connector. However, HuiNa implemented a rolling change where newer production runs may feature a red JST connector instead of the white SM connector. You must verify which connector your specific model has before purchasing. If your model uses the red JST connector, this battery will not be compatible. Inspect your current battery or the vehicle's battery compartment to confirm the connector type matches the white SM specification.
- What does NiMH battery technology mean for my RC car? — NiMH stands for Nickel-Metal Hydride, which is a mature and reliable battery chemistry widely used in RC applications. Unlike older NiCd batteries, NiMH batteries have no memory effect, meaning you can charge them at any state of discharge without degrading their capacity. This makes them more convenient and forgiving for casual RC enthusiasts. NiMH batteries are also safer, more environmentally friendly, and cost-effective compared to other RC battery types, making them ideal for mini RC models and entry-level enthusiasts.
- How long will this 400mAh battery last on a single charge? — Runtime depends on the specific model and driving style, but the 400mAh capacity is designed to provide adequate playtime for mini RC cars like the HuiNa 1331, 1332, and 1333. For typical casual play, you can expect 15-30 minutes of runtime depending on driving intensity. Racing or high-speed driving will reduce runtime, whilst gentler control input will extend it. Consider purchasing multiple batteries for your RC collection to minimise downtime between charging cycles.
- Is this battery suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The HuiNa 1331 Battery is ideal for beginners because NiMH batteries are straightforward to charge and maintain. There is no complex battery management required, no memory effect to worry about, and the battery integrates seamlessly with standard RC chargers. The white SM connector is a standard interface, and the 4.8V output is safe and appropriate for mini RC models. This battery represents an excellent way for newcomers to the RC hobby in the UK to experience reliable power delivery without dealing with more complex lithium battery technologies.
- How many batteries should I purchase for my RC collection? — We recommend having at least two batteries for every RC vehicle you own. This allows you to keep one battery charging whilst you use the other for continuous play sessions, maximising your enjoyment without extended downtime. The HuiNa 1331 Battery's compatibility with three different models makes this an efficient purchasing strategy if you own multiple HuiNa vehicles. With two batteries per model, you'll have flexibility and extended playtime.
- What is the difference between this battery and aftermarket alternatives? — The HuiNa 1331 Battery is the genuine OEM component manufactured by HuiNa specifically for their 1331, 1332, and 1333 models. Genuine parts guarantee perfect electrical specifications, proper fit, and safety compliance. Aftermarket alternatives may offer lower prices but cannot guarantee the same level of compatibility, performance consistency, or warranty support. For RC hobbyists serious about reliability and longevity, genuine OEM batteries always represent the best value.
