RC model cars are referred to as RC Car, which is a branch of the model, generally consisting of the body of the RC car and the remote control and receiver. RC cars as a whole are divided into two categories: electric RC cars and fuel-powered RC cars, which include drift cars, racing cars, climbing cars, off-road cars, Bigfoot cars, simulated off-road cars, cargo cars and several other sub-categories.
The old NiCd batteries are cheap, low capacity, polluting and memory friendly and are now only used in cheap cars and are not recommended.
NiMH, nickel-metal hydride batteries, are definitely in the mainstream in AA and AAA batteries, but definitely feel aged in remote control mode.
LiPo, lithium polymer batteries, are the dominant type of model today, with a wide range of applications and a wide range of models.
Currently, there are two main types of secondary batteries: NiMH and Li-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have been mass-produced as liquid lithium-ion batteries (LiB) and lithium-ion polymer batteries (LiP). So in many cases, a battery with lithium ions must be a LiB. But it does not have to be a liquid LiB, it can be a polymer LiB.
Lithium-ion batteries are an improved product of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries have been around for a long time, but lithium is very active (remember where it is on the periodic table?) The metal was unsafe to use and often burned during charging and ruptured, then the lithium ion batteries were modified to include ingredients that inhibit the active element lithium (such as cobalt, manganese, etc.), making lithium truly safe, efficient and convenient, and the old lithium ion batteries have been largely eliminated. As for how to distinguish them, they can be identified by the battery's logo. A lithium-ion battery is lithium and a lithium-ion battery is lithium ion.
When the RC car battery is to be charged, attention should also be paid to the charger, which is generally used to have a balance charging function.
Due to the characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, a voltage difference will occur between different batteries as the voltage drops after using the lithium-ion battery. It is therefore recommended to use the lithium ion battery balance charge mode for charging lithium ion batteries.
Lithium balance current is a series charger charge that uses a small white balance plug dedicated to lithium ion to transfer (high voltage to low voltage) between the batteries to achieve voltage balance, while the transfer of electrical energy is achieved in the form of current. The higher the balancing current, the faster the balancing speed. The opposite is slow.
Power lithium batteries are an important part of RC model car accessories, currently the mainstream is lithium polymer batteries and a full range of the most suitable for RC car batteries. In the battery charger, choose a smart charger with a balancing function.
