FAQ

What is the Tornado RC TRC-1600F battery used for? The TRC-1600F supplies power to compatible RC receivers and servos. It is suitable for models requiring a separate 6.0V receiver battery, including selected nitro and petrol RC vehicles.

Will this battery fit my RC car or truck? Check that your vehicle requires a 6.0V NiMH receiver pack and has enough space for the approximately 84 x 30 x 17mm flat battery. The connector must also match the receiver switch harness or charging arrangement.

What is the difference between the flat and hump receiver packs? The TRC-1600F has a flat five-cell layout, while the TRC-1600H uses a hump configuration. Both are 1600mAh 6.0V NiMH receiver packs, but their shapes suit different battery compartments.

Can this NiMH battery be charged with a LiPo charger? Only if the charger has a dedicated NiMH charging mode that supports five-cell packs. Never charge this battery using a LiPo charging program.

Is this a suitable replacement for a 7.4V LiPo receiver pack? Not automatically. This battery has a nominal voltage of 6.0V and uses NiMH chemistry. Check the vehicle's receiver, servo requirements and charging system before changing battery types.
