    GC2 battery pack

    hello all, my recently purchased GC2 has a dud battery! Can any one give me some details about building my own? It’s mentioned in a few threads, but no specifics.....the pack doesn’t take standard AA’s. And the configuration of the cells (underneath the shrink wrap) seems like the cells are in parallel.

    thanks in advance.

    It’s basically a 6 cell pack like in an REmote Control Car. Take the pack to a battery place and they’ll rebuild it.

        Do you need to be a registered user to buy a battery pack from Foresight??

      Thanks, I’m in Australia, where they charge 500% on everything, but will check with the foresight distributer here. I went to a battery world here, and they did not have a clue. I’m quite handy so wouldn’t mind having a go.

      cheers

        Ok so the foresight agent in Australia, won’t sell me a battery unless I pay a $750 transfer fee. Then a battery at the cost of $120 inc tax and shipping.

        anyone here actually made a battery pack for the GC2? Are there any other options? Do you think foresight Usa will ship to Australia?

        cheers

          Any battery place can rebuild it. It’s basucally a 6 cel pack like a remote control car. I used to race those cars and I built my own packs. 6 cells and shrink wrap. Take the battery to a hobby shop.

        One of my mates rebuilt his battery pack, he had a thread on here. cost him about £30 / 45USD
        I've just got my second hand gc2 and don't think the charger is genuine. What is the spec of the original charger output voltage and amps? I'm also trying to
