Electric (Batteries)

This is what a battery pack looks like.

This is what two single cells look like.

This is what a single 2000 MAH battery looks like.

High-capacity Ni-Cd cells make our hobby possible. Today's cells are technological marvels and provide great racing.

The Sanyo RC2000 cell was introduced at the 1996 Chicago Hobby Show and became legal for ROAR-sanctioned competition in 1997. These cells have high
(2000 mAH) capacity, fairly high voltage, low internal resistance, and are rugged enough to survive being charged more than once per day with no ill effect. They are
amazing.

The only RC2000 cells that are legal for racing in the USA are cells carrying the RBRC logo on the shrink-wrap. This logo simply means that the US distributor of
the cell has paid money into a fund that covers the cost of eventually recycling the cell. You may see RC2000 cells without the RBRC logo; these were probably
purchased in Europe or Japan and then brought into the USA. These cells have no performance advantages or disadvantages over cells carrying the RBRC logo, but
they are illegal for racing in the USA.
