KAVAN NiMH 4000mAh/7.2V + Tamiya - KAV33.0374

The perfect 7.2 V 6-cell NiMH drive battery with 4000 mAh capacity, ideal for leisure and sport RC models such as 1:10 cars, other land vehicles, boats, and aircraft models. Classic “stick” pack design with standard Tamiya® connector – ready to use, just charge and go!

KAVAN Sub-C (SC) size drive batteries offer high capacity, high discharge current, low internal resistance, and long service life. They allow fast charging up to 1C, maximum continuous discharge current of 20 A, and peaks up to 40 A.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Secure the battery with Velcro or straps so it cannot come loose during operation. Mount it in an easily accessible area of the model, protected from fuel, exhaust gases, other operating fluids, or water.

BATTERY CHARGING

Fully charge the battery before first use. Do not charge with a current higher than 1C. The battery temperature during charging should not exceed 40°C (the pack should feel warm, not hot).

BATTERY FORMATION

For optimal performance of a new battery, we recommend performing 3–5 formation cycles, including slow charging at 0.1–0.2C and discharging at a maximum of 1C. The discharged capacity is the key factor – stop formation when the discharged capacity stabilizes (within about 5–10%). Repeat this process after long-term storage (several months).

BATTERY DISCHARGE

For faster charging, fully discharge the batteries before charging (to 1.0 V per cell, i.e., 6.0 V for a 6-cell pack). If the batteries heat up during discharge, allow them to cool to ambient temperature before charging. During operation, do not let the battery exceed ~60°C (hot but still touchable). If necessary, reduce power consumption or use a battery with higher current capability.

BATTERY STORAGE

NiMH batteries should be stored fully charged. If you will not use them for more than 3–4 weeks, charge fully and store in a dry place at room temperature. For long-term storage, fully discharge (to 1.0 V per cell) and recharge every 3 months.
