Whether you’re flying a drone for aerial photography, surveying farmland, inspecting infrastructure or simply enjoying a weekend flight, the battery has a big say in how things go. Flight time, performance, reliability and safety all depend on the battery you’re using. Weather conditions make battery choice even more important. Hot summers, dusty environments and remote […]
When it comes to powering your RC vehicles, moving away from basic starter batteries eventually becomes essential. However, this shift can also be overwhelming considering your choice will dictate the performance of the vehicle. The current RC world is changed and technologically-advanced when compared to earlier times. So, there is very little to be worried
When people think about UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) performance, the airframe, motors and flight controller usually get most of the attention. But anyone who regularly works with drones knows how much the battery matters. Whether you’re mapping a construction site, inspecting power lines, capturing aerial footage or delivering supplies, the battery affects how far the
From precision agriculture and land surveying to emergency response and industrial inspections, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being used for increasingly demanding jobs. The aircraft itself tends to get most of the attention, but the battery is doing a lot of the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Flight time, payload capacity, reliability and even operational
RCBattery.com is proud to have supported SHARKS’ 2026 Warbird and Scale event. With flying happening all three days, and even at night, there was plenty of fun to be had for all attendees — some of whom traveled from various states just to attend the great show that SHARKS puts on! We are very privileged
Whether you are assembling an RC kit on your workbench or upgrading a ready-to-run (RTR) rig, picking your components is half the fun. Most hobbyists spend hours researching motors and Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs), which resemble the brain of your drive system, regulating throttle and routing power. But one small part often gets overlooked until
You head out for a day of driving, plug in your RC battery, pull the trigger and nothing happens. Maybe the car powers on for a second before shutting off, or the charger refuses to recognise the pack altogether. It’s frustrating, especially if the battery seemed perfectly fine the last time you used it. The
Shopping for an RC battery can feel overwhelming when every pack is covered in numbers like 3S, 100C, or 5000mAh. If you’re new to the hobby, it’s easy to assume that bigger numbers always mean better performance but that’s not necessarily true. Each specification tells you something different about how a battery will perform, and
If you are an RC enthusiast, you might have encountered this question – which RC battery type is better: LiPo or NiMH? Both are equally popular, recommended, versatile and efficient and that’s why the confusion. And if you ask us, there is no one universally better option. The right battery type for your vehicle depends
Just a quick note to let you know how much the SHARKS appreciate the RCBattery.com sponsorship of our events. The Weather forecast wasn’t great, so registered pilot numbers were a bit low this year. There were pilots from Shreveport, Bossier, Keithville, Stonewall, Monroe, West Monroe and Abbeville, LA, as well as Texarkana and Tyler, TX.
