As we learnt with the relationship between voltage and cells in the NiMH batteries, LiPos are the same but the voltage for a single LiPo cell is 3.7v (not 1.2v like NiMH batteries) so the voltages available are reduced.Oct 5, 2015
Can I use LiPo batteries instead of NiMH Airsoft?
LiPo batteries are newer and a big advantage to the sport of Airsoft. They are significantly lighter and smaller than the NiMh batteries. A 7.4v LiPo would have the same performance as a 8.4v NiMh. You do not need to cycle a new LiPo battery and it will not lose it's memory cell.Feb 17, 2017
What voltage should I charge a 7.4 v battery?
1 Answer. The answer to your question is: 8.4 volts.Apr 13, 2014
Can you run a LiPo battery on a brushed motor?
It's fine to put a 2S LiPo battery into a brushed SC10 It would be the same as if you were running a 7 cell NiMh pack. ...
Can I use NiMH batteries instead of LiPo?
You can use NiMH batteries instead of LiPo batteries in RC cars. There are some differences between NiMH batteries and LiPo batteries. The major difference between NiMH and LiPo batteries is the chemical properties that allow them to charge.
Can I use a LiPo battery in my RC car?
Most LiPos used in RC cars are 2- or 3-cell configurations. The big number on the battery label (3300, 4000, 5000 etc.) ... If your battery is rated at 5000mAh, that means it can hold a steady 5-amp load for a full hour.Jul 31, 2018
What is the difference between a LiPo battery and a NiMH battery?
The biggest difference between NiMH and LiPo batteries is the chemical properties that enable the charging of the batteries. NiMH (Nickel-metal hybrid) uses nickel-based technology and LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries use a lithium-ion technology.
How long does a 3000mAh RC battery last?
A 3000mAh LiPo battery will last for about 15 to 20 minutes and hold a three-amp load for an hour. The shelf life of this battery is two years if maintained properly.
How long does a 2000 mAh RC battery last?
Similarly, if your load is 2000 mAH then it would only last for 30 minutes. A 5000 mAH battery is quoted to last for about 20-25 minutes depending on the driving speed and your driving habits.Jul 14, 2020
How long does a 2200mAh RC battery last?
For one hour, a 2200mAh battery can provide 2.2A. It can be drained before the battery needs to be charged. If you used half the current, you should get two hours of usable power.
Does a higher mAh battery take longer to charge?
A: Yes, the mAh rating will give you longer run times between recharges. The higher rated mAh of a battery has no effect on electronic devices other than they allow longer term use.Dec 18, 2017
How long does a 7.2 battery take to charge?
In the case of the later HPI charger with its 9.5v 330mA output, 'fully charging' a 7.2V 3300mAh battery would take 10 hours (thus this type of charger is often referred to as an 'overnight' one).Feb 12, 2018
How long does it take to charge a 7.2 V 2000MaH NI MH battery?
Normally, batteries are charged by supplying 10-20% current of their total current capacity. For example, if the capacity of the AA battery is 2000 mAh, the battery will be charged in 5 hours using a charger supplying a current of 400 mA. The same battery will take 10 hours to charge when a 200 mA charger is used.
How long do you charge a 7.2 V NICD battery?
New battery packs must be charged for 5 1/2 hours the first two times charged. Subsequent charges will require 4 hours. Charging the battery pack for more than 5 1/2 hours will not give you a longer running time. 5 1/2 hours is all that is required for a fully charged battery pack.
