| Mar 12, 2017 at 22:02 | comment | added | user57037 | That is a an RC (radio control) type battery. That is probably a good choice for your application. One other thing to remember is that the batteries take much longer to charge than to discharge. If you choose a 300 mAh battery, it may only allow one or two runs, and then require recharging. This could make the development and test process very inefficient. Also, I believe it is common practice to take a lot of safety precautions with RC batteries during charge and storage. Make sure you are familiar with that. | |
