Default Replacement Batteries Suggestions

I am looking for a replacement battery for a Redcat VX80. The one that came with it is not holding a charge.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sp00ky,

Try your local auto parts store or motorcycle shop even Walmart carries the battery you are looking for.

I tried that site, but I was not sure on the exact make and model. Since Redcat is not listed on that site.

When the battery began to fail on my daughter's sunl 70, I took it to walmart and found a replacement. I believe it had the designation "4LBS" on the box. It was the same length and width as the factory battery but it was a little shorter - works fine.

Spend a little more money and get the gell type. I hate those acid batteries. When mine went out I had to add my own acid and I refuse to ever have to do tha again. What a pain and your never sure you got it just right. Gell all the way.

Sir, I bought a VX-80 3 months ago and mine did the same thing. I went several places trying to find one to no avail. The local dealer said that the batteries for the Redcat and Kazuma are junk. Also, once you find a battery, pad it and protect it from the box. It is exposed and will bounce around if not padded. Let me know when you find one. I tried Wal-mart...all 20, tried several auto parts stores, NAPA too, tried...no luck. I'm not going order one from the factory, nor use my warranty for a new junk battery.

Sir,
I'm going to measure at work today. Mine is located in the back of my toy hauler park elsewhere. I will get the measurements...I think that is what we'll have to do. Buy another quality one with close measurements. SEADAWG
