Battery testing
We test batteries before they are sent out. We record the cell voltage of each battery to ensure that you receive a viable battery. It is essential that if you wish to return the item, that you do not charge the battery or use the item. Batteries will be tested on receipt of returns.
Due to the nature of LIPO batteries that many RC cars come with we do not provide a warranty against batteries that have been tested except in extenuating circumstances.
It is important to treat LIPO batteries correctly to ensure longevity. Incorrect charging and storage behaviour will cause the battery to fail. See our battery care advice page here.
