Reedy Pro LiPo/LiFe RX & TX battery packs

Reedy have introduced their new range of Pro LiPo and LiFe RX/TX batteries that feature high capacities and durable construction, which make them perfectly suited for use as receiver batteries in nitro-powered vehicles. They are also a long-life alternative to NiMH and alkaline batteries in a variety of transmitters. A standard power plug fits directly into the transmitter or receiver/switch harness while a XH balance connector allows for simple balance charging. The LiPo batteries are available as 2400mAh 7.4V flat or 2700mAh 7.4V hump pack while the LiFe packs come as 1600mAh 6.6V flat or 1900mAh 6.6V hump variant.

Reedy Zappers 15.2V 4S 6400mAh LiHV hardcase battery

Reedy’s Zappers Lithium batteries are now also available in a 4S LiHV version for 1/8th E-buggies and trucks. Originally referring to Reedy’s proprietary NiMH voltage enhancement technology, Zappers describe Reedy’s high-voltage LiPo battery chemistry. A 15.2V nominal voltage means that with a suitable charger, the battery can be safely charged to 17.4V total or 4.35V per cell. Even when the typical 16.8V or 4.2V/cell charging limit is enforced, the battery still offers a significant advantage thanks to a flatter discharge curve, which results in more voltage deeper into the race. A high-quality, durable hardcase helps prevent damage while embedded socket connectors keep power-robbing resistance to a minimum. A charge lead, balance lead, and male 5mm ESC connectors are included.
