HARD King Selected 4600mah Cells

HARD King Selected 4600mah Cells

More new items from HARD, who have introduced their range of King Select 4600mAh NiMH Intellect cells. Whether you’re running brushless modified touring or 19 turn off-road buggy, these cells are suitable for any configuration. Although the Intellect cells are race proven and provide excellent voltages and runtime, it takes a special process which HARD has developed to bring the best out of each cell. Due to the fact that every battery has unique individual characteristics, a testing process is required to find the best cells and weed out the worst providing the end-user with a superior product while maintaining a low price bracket.
