      NiMh

      NiMH battery packs for RC: forgiving, affordable power for many models.

      NiMH battery packs are a forgiving, affordable way to power many RC models. They handle rough charging better than LiPo and need no storage voltage fuss, which makes them great for beginners and ready-to-run cars.Match the pack voltage and connector to your car, and pick capacity (mAh) for run time. See LiPo packs and chargers in batteries and chargers.

      Frequent Questions & Answers
      What is a NiMH battery?

      NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) is a rechargeable pack type. It is cheaper and more forgiving than LiPo, which makes it popular in ready-to-run and beginner cars.

      NiMH or LiPo, which is better?

      LiPo is lighter and more powerful, NiMH is cheaper and easier to look after. For casual running NiMH is fine, for performance most drivers move to LiPo.

      How do I charge a NiMH battery?

      Use a NiMH-capable charger at the recommended rate. NiMH tolerates simple charging far better than LiPo, but a good charger still extends its life.

      How should I store NiMH packs?

      Store them cool and partly charged. NiMH self-discharges over time, so top them up before use if they have sat for a while.
