Spare Batteries for My RC Boat

So I bought a cheap RC Electric boat to use with the kids on the lake. But the battery goes flat in about 5 mins :(

I searched for spares and found them at Amazon USA:
https://www.amazon.com/Goolsky-1200mAh-Battery-WLtoys-Racing…

However, it wont ship to me, probably because of hazmat laws :(

Anyway, I tried to find them in Australia, but they are more expensive…they have to be the same dimensions to fit the battery compartment.

Any suggestions ?

Cheers

  • I'm getting a few lipos shipped from the states in a few weeks. If you're in no rush, we can work something out. If you are in a rush, then probably need to pay whatever the local rate is.

    Edit: have you tried Aliexpress?

    It won't ship to you because you can only buy items from the US site that are sold by Amazon, not third parties.

    Try hobbyking.com

    Yep HobbyKing will have it.

  • +1 for Hobbyking. Only thing you may have to do is change from a JST type plug to XT60.

    And if your boat is only lasting 5 mins, there is a good chance that they are crap battery packs in it and may not be LiPo and may be NiMh. And I highly doubt that 1,400mAh rating on that battery as well. At 5 mins, it's probably closer to 350~500mAh.

    A boat should not have that much of a drain on a battery. It's only 1 motor driving a small prop.
