Editorial Review

Every aficionado of radio-controlled vehicles knows how expensive perpetually replacing disposable batteries can be. There is a better way. Tyco's Turbo Premium ni-cad Battery Pack and Charger for 9.6-volt R/C vehicles allows up to 1,000 charges on a single pack. Charging takes just 4 hours from a standard 110/120-volt outlet. Tyco backs their claim that the Turbo 9.6-volt battery pack is the longest running R/C battery available with an impressive 120-day, limited guarantee. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BATTERY, December 27, 2003

This review is from: 9.6V Turbo Battery Pack/Charger (Toy)

The design of Tyco's battery pack and charger is very nice and simple to operate. I like the idea of having a rechargable battery for toys since it is so expensive replacing regular batteries constantly. This battery was part of my child's Christmas along with the Vertigo radio controlled car (which I HIGHLY recommend). I charged it the recommended time and it was very easy to install into the car and off we went. It lasted as long as the standard rechargeable battery that was in my other son's remote control car (they both ran down at the exact same time). Anyhow, the kids had plenty of time to play with their cars and were ready to come in by the time the batteries ran down so I'd say I have no complaints and think that it is worth the money of buying the battery in order to get one of Tyco's SUPER cool cars!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars DOES NOT WORK WITH TERRAIN TWISTER, etc., December 15, 2004

Although this battery pack is listed on the page for the Tyco Terrain Twister as one of the things people buy with the toy, it is NOT the pack you need to power the Terrain Twister -- or a number of other NEW Tyco products -- which use ONLY the TMH pack. That one costs even more... Don't be disappointed like my son is. What a HASSLE.
