Batteries and chargers

Batteries & Chargers for RC – LiPo, NiMH, LiFe, Li-ion and more

Here you will find batteries and chargers for remote-controlled equipment: RC cars, boats, drones, helicopters and construction vehicles. Whether you run LiPo for maximum performance, NiMH for robust, easy use or LiFe for stable, safe voltage, we have solutions for beginners and experienced users alike.

Quick choice: performance, run time or ease of use?

LiPo typically gives the most punch and low weight, NiMH is tolerant and simple, and LiFe is a strong compromise with stable voltage. Combine with a balance charger and the right connectors/adapters for safe charging and a longer life for your batteries. See also our chargers and batteries.

Specifications

  • Battery types: LiPo, NiMH / NiCd, LiFe, Li-ion, AA / AAA (range varies)
  • Cells (LiPo/LiFe): typically 1S–6S (depends on model/series)
  • Capacity: from small packs to high capacity for longer run time
  • Performance (LiPo): various C ratings for everything from hobby use to high loads
  • Connectors: popular RC connectors + adapters (depending on stock)
  • Chargers: balance chargers for LiPo/LiFe/Li-ion, chargers for NiMH, and multi-type chargers
  • Safety: charging with a balance function and the correct battery type/cell count setting is recommended

What the range includes

What you will need

  • The right charger for your battery type (LiPo/LiFe/Li-ion typically need a balance function)
  • The correct connector/adapter between battery and charger (and possibly between battery and model)
  • LiPo safety: e.g. a LiPo safe bag/box and a fire-safe place for charging
  • Optionally a voltage check (voltmeter/cell checker) and storage charging for longer-term storage
