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.
If you’ve spent any time around RC cars, drones, airplanes, or boats, you’ve probably heard people talk about parallel charging. For many hobbyists, it’s a practical way to charge multiple batteries at once instead of waiting for each pack to finish individually. The time savings can be substantial, especially if you’re heading out for a
If you’ve been around RC cars, drones, FPV gear, airsoft replicas, or pretty much anything powered by a LiPo battery, you’ve probably had that moment. You plug a battery into the charger and suddenly get an error message. The charger refuses to recognise it or the voltage looks alarmingly low. Maybe the battery has been
Winter RC driving hits differently – snow changes traction completely, cold air affects throttle response, and battery packs that felt explosive in summer suddenly seem lazy after a few pulls on the trigger. Most hobbyists notice it right away as runtime drops, voltage sags harder under load and the truck or plane just feels slower.
If you’ve spent any time around RC cars, FPV drones, planes, crawlers, or airsoft gear, you already know one thing: LiPo batteries are brilliant when treated properly, and expensive when they’re not. A good pack delivers punchy discharge rates, stable voltage under load, and serious performance compared to older battery chemistries. But LiPos are also
Congratulations to all the winners of Sacramento Area Modelers’ Big Kahuna Memorial Warbird Pylon Race 2026 event! While it is unfortunate the event was hit with storms and ultimately a power outage, we are still happy to see that fun was had and batteries were won. We look forward to supporting SAM’s next event and
The SHARKS Spring fly was a big success and as usual RCBattery.com was a big part of it. Leading up to the event the weather didn’t look very good, but thankfully the weatherman was wrong. We had mild temps and slight winds right down the runway. In the end we had 37 registered pilots from
Well, our final event for the year is in the books. We had a wonderful Jet rally this weekend. The pilot count was a bit low compared to previous years, we had 50 registered pilots. The Saturday forecast had some rain in it and that may have discouraged some from making the drive. But as
