1. NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) Batteries:
- Capacity range: 1000mAh - 5000mAh
- Charging time: 1-3 hours (with a standard charger)
- Fast charging: Some NiMH batteries can be fast-charged in less than an hour with specialized fast chargers.
2. Li-Po (Lithium Polymer) Batteries:
- Capacity range: 1000mAh - 10000mAh+
- Charging time: 30 minutes to 2 hours (with a standard charger)
- Fast charging: Li-Po batteries can be fast-charged in as little as 10-15 minutes with high-quality fast chargers. However, fast charging may affect the long-term life of the battery.
3. Li-Fe (Lithium Iron Phosphate) Batteries:
- Capacity range: 2000mAh - 10000mAh+
- Charging time: 2-4 hours (with a standard charger)
- Fast charging: Li-Fe batteries can be fast-charged in about an hour with appropriate chargers. They are generally more resistant to fast charging compared to Li-Po batteries.
Remember that the actual charging time may vary based on the specific battery and charger combination. It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and use the appropriate charger for your RC car battery to ensure safe and efficient charging.
