Types

This type for Micromodellcontstruction

LiPo

File: Lipo-Akku 140 mAh 3,6 Volt

LiPo = LitiumPolimär
Voltage: 3,6 bis 3,7 Volt
Voltage End of Charge: 4,2 Volt
Capacity: from 10 to 900 mAh
Charging cycles: approximately 500
Current: Standard 1C means 100 mAh capacity charge with 100 mA in 1 hour
This type of accu must never deeply discharged(< 3,0 Volt)!

The loading must be done with a special, controlled loaders.
Dafür gibt es:

• Charge controller (5-6 Volt Inputvoltage)
  
• Plug charger (Speziel Socket for Modells)
  
• reglar processor charger as ALC8000, ALC8500 or other.
  

Service: Only chargeed accu store.
Attention! The terminals of LiPo battery must never be short-circuited. Fire hazard !!

NiMH

File: 60 mAh 1,2 Volt d8mm 15 mm high

NiMH = Nickel Metallhydrid
Voltage: 1,2 Volt
Voltage End of Charge: 1,45 Volt
Capacity: from 40 to 2800 mAh.
Charging cycles: approximately 1500
Currend: normal 1/10 C means 100 mAh capacity charge with 10 mA. 14 hours.

Modern Typs as GP can to 1C chargeed. 100 mAh Capacity charge with 100 mA.

• Chargecontroller (5-6 Volt Inputvoltage) as duration Charger
  
• Chargecontroller (12-16 Volt Inputvoltage) as pauercharger
  
• Plugcharger for AAA Mignon 900 mAh
  
• reglar prozessorcharger as ALC8000, ALC8500 or other.
  

(Note: The Faller®-Ladegereät Voltage sit over 4,5 Volt
You need a resistend in the Modell.)
Service: all 4 weeks charge
Who buys new original Faller Car System® model todayand it is 5 year old, certainly has to change immediately the battery. Incorporated are Varta 30 -. 450 mAh depending on the model
We offer at least 10% more replacement types.
Frequent fast charging capacity decreases.
Through several refresh cycles (loading / unloading) can be increased again the capacity.

Special technology

Battery cell

[[Akkuzell] Ram - Cell in AAA with 1,5 Volt.
Normal voltage: 1,5 Volt
Voltage End of Charge: 1,75 Volt
Capacity: from 400 to 1500 mAh.
Charging cycles: approximately 500
For this battery the battery cell charger must be used.
Note: The voltage can be harmful to the DC05-Si, because it amounts to about 3.5 Volt !!

LiIon batteries with USB-C connection

Loopenergy 900mWh AAA VERICO Built-in USB-C connection LiIon battery 600 mAh approx. 5 hours of driving time Charging time 1 hour with 5 volts

There are now batteries with a built-in charge controller.
These are connected to a USB power supply (5V) and charged via USB-C.
During operation they ran at 1.5 V and with the AAA 900mWh! That is the equivalent of 600 mAh.
An Eneloop cell is available as AAA with 750 mAh or 900 mAh.

A measured short-circuit current of 3 A would enable use in a DC car.
As this is a Li-Ion battery, the charging time is short. (Approx. 1 hour)
But when the battery's charging plug is used, 5 volts are present on the external terminals. A vehicle with a DCxx-SI decoder must not be switched on under any circumstances. If this is ensured with the power switch, such a vehicle can be charged with 5V at the charging port.
A USB-C socket could be installed for this purpose.

A mobile phone charger with the corresponding USB-C port serves as the charger. (new standard)
An enclosed cable allows 4 batteries to be connected to a USB-A power supply.
Be careful with a USB port on the laptop! They are not intended for charging 4 batteries!

Eneloop

File: Eneloop-Akku 750 mAh 1,2 Volt d10mm 44mm

The Technic "Eneloop", "Ready to use" is a new technologie.

The Eneloop AAA cells with 750 mAh or 800 mAh have a lower self-consumption as normal NiMH batteries. Therefore, may also be stored longer without charge. (Up to 3 years)
Since this battery's are in the type AAA = Micro, battery holder can be used.
Due to this change the batteries lasting operation is carried out at fairs and exhibitions.
Also in the battery buses from Faller® these batteries can be used.

NiMH = Nikel Metall hydrid
Normal voltage: 1,2 Volt
Voltage End of Charge: 1,45 Volt
Capacity: from 750 to 2800 mAh.
Charging cycles: approximately 1500
Currend: normal 1/10 C means 100 mAh capacity charge with 10 mA. 14 hours.

Note:
Since this battery's can be loaded with 1C = 800 mA charge current, the external charging with conventional chargers is a cheap and safe solution.
Thus, no battery in the model are hot or scorching the cable inside.

Connection cable

Battery's can deliver a lot of power. For this, the cord must be rated.
Therefore, not only take "a" enamelled copper wire.
We recommend the [PVC cable].
Emergency several twisted wires of copper enameled wire are suitable.
How much depends on the highest battery power. (Short circuit)
