Robot Batteries

We offer four different battery options in our Combat Robot Kits and we also make them available separately.

NiCd Batteries

The Feather Pack is assembled from 20 Sub-C NiCd cells in series. These 1.8Ah, 24-Volt packs have a low internal resistance which enables them to deliver high current.

It weighs 2.3 pounds and it measures 3.6" wide x 9.1" long x .9" thick.

This battery works well in the Light weight robots.

Feather Pack - $99 Quantity

Battery Charger for NiCd Batteries

The 1.5 Amp Charger does not require a separate power supply. It plugs right into your wall outlet. It recharges our Feather Pack in about 70 minutes and It automatically shuts off when it detects that the battery is fully charged.

NiCd Charger - $59 Quantity

Lead Acid AGM Batteries

These powerful lead-acid AGM batteries were designed for use in motorcycles and other power-hungry applications like jet skies and snowmobiles. They do not contain liquid electrolyte so they are spill-proof and they can be used in any orientation.

The MC-1250 is a 12V battery with a capacity of 5Ah. It weighs 3 pounds and measures 3.9" tall x 3.6" wide x 2.8" thick.

Use two of these batteries in Light weight kits for more run time and less cost than the Feather Pack battery.

MC-1250 - $24 Quantity

The MC-545 is a 12V battery with a capacity of 12Ah. It weighs 11.5 pounds and measures 5.1" tall x 6.9" wide x 3.3" thick.

Use two or four of these batteries in the Middle and Heavy weight robots.

MC-545 - $79 Quantity

The MC-680 is a 12V battery with a capacity of 18Ah. It weighs 12.5 pounds and measures 6.6" tall x 7.1" wide x 3.0" thick.

Use two of these batteries in Middle and Heavy weight kits with two motors. The MC-680 will not fit in kits with four motors. Use the MC-545 battery in kits with four motors.

MC-680 - $69 Quantity

Battery Charger for Lead Acid Batteries

The 3.0 Amp Charger does not require a separate power supply. It plugs right into your wall outlet. It uses a state-of-the-art three-stage charging cycle. It starts with a high-current fast charge until the battery voltage reaches 29.6. Then it charges at a constant 29.6V until the current drops below 500mA. Then it switches to a trickle charge and holds the battery at 27.6V. The charger can remain connected for long-term storage keeping the battery in a state of full charge.

This charger comes with a separate "XLR" charging port which you can mount directly on your robot for convenient plug-in charging.

Lead Acid Charger - $69 Quantity

Notes on lead acid batteries:
To get the most life out of your lead acid batteries recharge them after every use. Leaving them in a partially discharged state lowers their useful life. When a battery is in storage recharge it every 3 months in cold weather and every month if warm - or keep it on a continuous trickle charge.
