![]() Typical battery pack that goes inside an RC Photo © M. James Related RC TermsMore Glossary TermsNew posts to the Radio Controlled Vehicles forums:"Battery Pack"Definition: Almost always the RC controller uses 4 or more "AA" or 9 volt alkaline or rechargeable batteries. By contrast, the RC vehicle itself uses a rechargeable battery pack to power the motor.
The battery pack is a group of rechargeable battery cells made out of either nickel cadmium (Ni-CD) or nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) with a set of negative and positive terminals. The receiver and speed controller plug into the battery pack. Some electric RC vehicles include a charger for recharging the battery pack between uses. |
