Hi,

i have found my old remote control boat in the loft, it’s about 20 years old. The motor battery is a Ripmax Sanyo 7.2V 200amh nicad. Is there a Morden equivalent I can use?

many thanks

martin

Any NiMH battery that will physically fit the space and is the same 7.2 voltage. It will have a larger capacity ( mah) that will just give you a longer duration. If you're unsure ring or email component shop and tell them the size of the old battery, they will help you. Google component-shop.co.uk. they will need to know the type of connector / plug fitted to your old battery, so maybe be prepared with a photo of the old one. You can trust them to be fair and helpful.

I nearly forgot to say, please be careful disposing of the old battery, cadmium is nasty and shouldn't be put in the normal bins. Take it to a recycling centre.

Sure ts 200mAH? That is incredibly tiny.
