RC products require batteries to operate, but it’s not as simple as popping in an old AA battery you find in the garage. All RC vehicles have specific batteries they are compatible with, so it is important for RC hobbyists to be aware of these differences. In New Zealand, RC Hobbies is the RC shop with the largest and most diverse range of stock. They stock two brands of RC LiPo batteries: Gens-Ace and Tattu. Gens-Ace batteries are suitable for RC cars, RC planes and RC helicopters, whereas Tattu batteries are ideal for drone and FPV racing drones.

Gens-Ace batteries have low internal resistance and a high life cycle, which ensures users get maximum value from the battery. All Gens-Ace RC planes and RC helicopters batteries use ORACOVER shrink, an adhesive with a high quality that is recognized globally. Some of the Gens-Ace flight batteries use aluminium plates on both sides to release heat more quickly, and also to protect the battery if it drops to the floor.

Tattu is the sister brand of Gens-Ace, and these batteries have been designed specifically for RC drones. Tattu batteries have an intelligent battery management system and has a long life expectancy. They also have a high energy density and low internal resistance. Both Gens-Ace and Tattu batteries are available in a range of sizes, prices and voltage capacities. To view the full catalogue of Gens-Ace and Tattu batteries, visit RC Hobbies’ online shop.

RC Hobbies stocks RC batteries, RC vehicles, RC fuel and RC accessories. They provide free shipping nationwide for orders over $75, and deliver internationally upon request. If you haven’t bought your Christmas gifts yet, RC Hobbies has an extensive list of gift possibilities for young and old. For RC batteries in NZ, and other RC products, visit RC Hobbies.
