RC LiPo Batteries

Exclusive summary about RC LiPO Batteries By Kevin W Perry


The remote control community will have their very own opinion about rc batteries Nitro Vs LiPo’s. So please be careful when charging these batteries. Here are some basic guidelines for charging your new LiPo batteries.

1. Of course only use approved charges for lithium batteries.
2. Set the charger to the correct cell count
3. Do not leave charge battery unattended
4. For new lithium battery check each voltage of each cell.
5. Use a smooth and safe surface to charge your new Lithium battery.

6. DO NOT USE if the cell is puncture!
7. Do not charge more than 1C…
8. Charge batteries in a open area
9. Now my preference is to run Nitro vehicles (hint hint Traxxas Revo 3.3).

RC Lipo Batteries

Exclusive summary about RC Batteries By Shay RC

Lipo (Lithium Polymer Batteries) are used in many electronic devices. Lipo Batteries are similar to Lithium Ion batteries. Unlike Lithium Ion batteries, Lithium Polymer Batteries do not have a hard metal casing but rather a flexible material encloses the chemicals inside.

If you have previously been flying RC models with NiCad or NiMH batteries, switching over to Lipo (lithium polymer) batteries will result in a different number of cells being used. There are many Lipo Batteries manufacturers. Better to buy a bit better Lipo battery than you need than to destroy your electronics and risk your RC Airplane or RC Helicopter.

RC Devices

Exclusive summary about RC Devices By Morten Hansen


Building, driving, and modifying radio-controlled car kits or other toys is a popular hobby among radio controlled (RC) enthusiasts.

Radio Controlled devices, or remote controlled devices as they are also called, are devices that are worked remotely from a distance. The Radio Controlled devices are commonly called RC devices – RC stands for Radio Controlled. Radio control had also been employed in WWII.

Principle of the modern Radio Controlled toys:

The radio controlled models can be toy grade or hobby grade. The Radio Controlled devices can be varied, and include cars, boats, airplanes, helicopters and robotics. Robotics are another hobby, which are even more interesting when combined with radio controlled or remote controlled toys.

Radio Controlled Devices – Their History Revealed

Exclusive summary about Radio Controlled Devices By Abhishek Agarwal

Building, modifying and driving radio controlled vehicles is a favorite pastime of radio control enthusiasts. Remote or radio controlled devices are controlled from a remote distance. Remote controlled devices are also known commonly as RC devices- RC meaning radio controlled. Electrical speed control is used in electrical models, whereas radio control mechanisms are used in fuel control systems to regulate the fuel input.

Hobby grade radio controlled devices are more serviceable and durable, but are very expensive. Radio control technology is combined with robotics to create various devices used in international robotics contests held in Japan.
