How much voltage/current are the 10 minute charge batteries in the
Racing Ratz (sp) from Tyco RC (I think). They have been pumping those
commercials during after school cartoons and Saturday mornings. The cars
have a small battery and a charger that charges it in about 10 minutes. Interesting.
I'm going to consider them if they have sufficient power. THe little
cars seem to do some nice stuff. I myself am gonig to look into the things.
