Newbie - question about batteries Mah
I have just purchased a remote controlled hovercraft which uses a
rechargeable 9.6 volt 700 Mah battery. The craft only works for about 8 minutes per 4 hour charge. I would like to buy a replacement battery. I see 9.6 volt 850 Mah ones of the same size available. Would this hurt the electronics or just provide a longer charge for the machine? Sorry to bother with such a basic question for you all. Please reply to me e-mail if possible. Thank-you Daryl |

The device will draw as many mA as needed, and the battery will last longer the more mAh it has (changing the voltage would damage the circuit though).

Hi,

Chris So long as you dont put a heavier battery in or you may increase the power draw on the battery and so defeat the purpose. Im just being pedantic J |
