To be or not to be ... wireless

It is amazing when you stop to think about how important wireless technologies are to our daily lives. Without even trying hard, I came up with a good handful of uses that we all probably take for granted:

Garage door opener
Keyfob for car doors
Cordless phones
Cell phones
Baby monitors
Radio-controlled cars/boats
And all your remote controls in your house!

Get Better Battery Life from a Radio Controlled (RC) Car

Most radio controlled (RC) cars rely on a rechargeable battery for
power. Obviously, the longer a battery lasts during use, the more fun
it is to own and use.

It's important to know that there are two major battery types for RC cars - Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal-Hydride. Proper handling of these two battery types is essential for getting the best performance and playtime out of an RC car.
