RCenergy
Titan Energy is proud to be New Zealand's leading RC Battery manufacturer, sourcing a wide variety of batteries from around the globe, specialising in SANYO "eneloop" cells for the best in:
"Dependable energy for your model"
With years of experience in battery assembly and competition model flying we have produced RCenergy battery packs that are manufactured well above the normal standard, providing the RC market with the best possible cells and pack assembly.
Why RCenergy promotes SANYO eneloop for use in the RC hobby.
+ Throughout the hobby market, the two main manufacturers of RC radio equipment (Futaba and JR) have always maintained the use of
SANYO cells for both transmitters and recievers because SANYO has continued to lead the world with their quality and quantity of NiCD
and NiMH range of cells.
+ With the release of a new Hybrid NiMH cell technology, SANYO "eneloop" out performed all other manufacturer's
abilities regardiing percentage of self discharge and also true working capacity. This particular product is designed for the Digital
market but finds itself ideally suited to our use in RC models.
+ Consistancy, stability and perfromance are the trade marks of SANYO
and even years after their release the eneloop cells are still top of the list (see Consumer Magazine).
+ The low self discharge between
times of use means this technology is perfect for the RC models and transmitters and 'top-off' charging before heading to the field
takes very little time.
What difference is a SANYO eneloop compared to a NiMH cell?
+ Manufacture of cyclindrical NiMH cells consists of two metal strips (anode and cathode) which are seperated by a non-conductive
porous plastic foil (seperator). These strips are then coiled into a metal can and immersed in electolyte, with the can sealed shut
with a cap.
+ Self discharge of Nickel based cells is caused by:
the chemical decomposition of the cathode
the natural disaggregation
of the anode
impurites of elements used and/or the manufacturing process
+ Reduction of the decomposition of the cathode by a new
superlattice alloy also resulted in an increase of capacity with reduction in internal resistance allowing higher discharge currents.
+
The Anode is also stabilised with a new chemical.
+ The seperator and electrolyte can now be optimised for low self dicharge.
+ You
are now able to see that the manufacture of Nickel based cells is a balancing act of all associated chemicals/materials to achieve
the desired voltage with capacity, workability and longetivity of the cell.
+ Cells are now able to be "charged" at the factory and
supplied to the retail market in a Ready to Use state. The reality of the above final procedure is that factories can not fully charge
each individual cell before release but will charge from 70% to 80% of capacity as this method is quickist part of charging and also
has the lowest self discharge rate once packaged and exported.
