Can You Use A 7.4 V Battery Instead Of 7.2 V?

Of course, you can use a 7.4 volts battery instead of 7.2 volts on your RC car. However, it must be within the range of voltages the electronic speed control (ESC) of your car can handle. If 7.4 volts is not in the range of voltages and you use it, you could damage the motor and ESC beyond repair.

Can I use LiPo batteries instead of NiMH?

LiPo batteries are much better than NiMH batteries. The voltage of a LiPo battery is 3.7V, while that of a NiMH battery is 1.2V. The voltage of a battery determines how strong the battery is and which is better to use. The higher voltage of the LiPo battery allows the RC vehicle to move at a higher speed and power.

Can you use a 7.4 V battery instead of 3.7 V?

If your RC car uses 7.4v, then placing two 3.7v batteries in series will give you the correct voltage.

Can I use higher mAh battery in RC car?

RC Newbie. Edough13 said: No a bigger battery (more mAh) won’t make it go faster unless it’s more cells. Guessing it’s supposed to run on 2s, so using a 3s battery yes would make it go faster but also possibly damage your ESC and motor.

Can I use a 9.6 V battery for a 7.2 V battery?

No. assuming your 7.2V pack is lithium, a 9.6V charger is not designed to safely charge a lithium battery of any kind.

What happens if you charge a LiPo battery with a NiMH charger?

No, you won’t damage the battery (or the charger). All lithium batteries are very sensitive to charging protocols.

Can you run a LiPo battery on a brushed motor?

So if you need to or want to run brushed motors with LiPo’s, feel free to, it won’t hurt anything(just remember to follow the basic rules to using LiPo’s, especially about not overdischarging them, they REALLY don’t like that)…..

Are all Traxxas batteries interchangeable?

Traxxas Dual iD chargers can charge two batteries at the same time, even if they’re different types and capacities.

What voltage should I charge a 7.2 v battery?

between 1.4 to 1.6 V
If the voltage goes beyond a certain specific limit, then it might cause multiple risks; therefore, it is essential to know the voltage at which you should charge your 7.2V NiMH battery. The range of charging voltage is between 1.4 to 1.6 V per cell.

What happens if I use a higher mAh battery?

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.

Can I use a higher mAh LiPo battery?

Yes, so long as it’s only the mAh that’s higher than specified, it’ll simply give you longer flight times. As an added bonus, the battery should also last longer because it’ll be less stressed, since higher mAh also means it’s capable of delivering more amps.

What happens if you use a higher voltage battery?

A higher voltage battery has the potential to “push” more current–that is, more electrons–for a given resistance. This translates to the capacity for greater work, which is the same thing as more power. Higher voltage also means less current to do the same amount of work, so longer battery life.

Can I charge a 7.2 V battery with a 12V charger?

If it is a lead/acid “12V” charger, it likely has a nominal output voltage of higher than 12 volts, and if it is above, say, 14.5V, you could charge two 7.2V batteries in series. If the output is actually 12.0V, then you may still be able to charge one battery if you include a resistor in series.

Can I use 8.4 V charger for 7.2 V battery?

Originally Answered: Can I use an 8.4V and . 9A charger to charge a 7.2V and 1.2A battery? NO, you can’t! You MUST match the voltage of a charger and the battery, and not just that.

Can I charge a 7.2 V battery with a 5V charger?

Can I charge batteries at 7.2 V? Answer: Even if you apply 7.2v at the Input, this circuit normalizes the Output to 5v and to charge a 7.2v battery you need to apply a greater voltage like 8v-10v.

Can I charge a LiPo battery with a trickle charger?

Never “trickle” charge a LiPo battery. 9. Never discharge a LiPo battery below 3.0v per cell. Ideally you never want to go below 3.2v per cell to maintain a healthy battery.

Can you charge a LiPo battery with a normal charger?

A lead-acid charger that can be set to charge no higher than 14.6v can be used for regular charging and then MUST be disconnected after the battery is fully charged.

Can you charge a LiPo with a NiCad charger?

It is important to know that the charger that came with the NiCad battery will NOT operate with the Lithium ion battery. So, to answer the above question, No. You cannot use a NiCad charger to charge a Lithium ion battery.

Can I use Lipo battery on brushless motor?

The LiPo battery can only supply dc. You can not. The motor has no mechanical commutator (brushless), so you need an electronic one.

Can I use Lipo battery on brushed ESC?

Re: Lipo battery & brushed ESC & motor…
yes ..

Why are LiPo batteries better than NiMH?

The weight/power ratio in LiPo batteries is significantly better. LiPo batteries are noticeably lighter and they can store the same amount or more energy relative to their capacity than NiMH batteries. The power output of LiPo batteries is greater in quality and quantity.
