Aerobert 2145 Posted January 14, 2022 I have a Kyosho Mini-Z Lit with the blue Mini Cooper body. The battery died years ago and is no more existing. So the car is sitting in it's show case without being moved for ages. I have several times think about a replacement of the original battery as it is no more available. The original battery is a 4.8 V 150 mAh in a hard case. Would a 1S LiPo work and how to prevent the battery from deep discharge as there is not much space in this little car. Does anyone have a Mini-Z Lit and done something like this before? Any suggestion is welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikko85 3453 Posted January 14, 2022 Have you got a photo of the original battery? I've read they are 4 x 1/3 AAA batteries - you may be able to open up the hardcase and then replace them with new 1/3 batteries. New ones may slot in, and not even need a solder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aerobert 2145 Posted January 14, 2022 Unfortunately not. The battery got lost in the last ten years. That's the reason why I'm thinking about LiPo. But you're right, in the original battery are 4x 1/3 AAA cells. I guess I will order a small 1S LiPo and test if it will run. Just have to find a very small LiPo alarm or cut off.

jasonak 1 Posted September 14, 2022 My mini z lit battery died also. Did you figure a way to get yours working ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aerobert 2145 Posted September 18, 2022 Sorry for late reply, I've missed your question. Up to now I have no solution for this. Currently other projects got priority. But when I have found something for replacement I will post here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ad456 331 Posted September 19, 2022 Ecx do a battery with similar spec for the 1/24 Temper, not sure if it’ll meet the size/shape but I’m sure there’ll be a seller somewhere that would measure it for you. Here’s the part number :- O-DYNB0008 It seems expensive for what it is but I’ll bet there’s generic ones available at a more sensible price. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
