ALLON ELECTRIC Powers Up Slot Car Racing with High-Performance Batteries

CANBY, OR – October 26, 2023 – Slot car racing is having a serious comeback, and ALLON ELECTRIC LLC, a US-based battery specialist located in Canby, Oregon, is fueling that excitement. We're not talking about just any batteries – we’re talking about batteries designed to make your slot cars fly. ALLON ELECTRIC (find us at 1615 N Oak St, Canby, OR, 97013-3235 or give us a ring at 978-590-5332) has been quietly building a reputation as a go-to source for reliable, high-performance power solutions for years. While a lot of folks know us for our work in industrial and specialty applications, many are discovering that we really know batteries for hobbies - and slot cars are a big passion here. What's the Deal with Slot Car Batteries Anyway? If you're new to the world of slot cars, you might think “it’s just a little car, does the battery really matter?” The answer is a resounding YES! The battery is the heart of your slot car. A weak or inconsistent battery will drag down performance, causing slow lap times, inconsistent speed, and frustrating deslots (when your car flies off the track!). Traditional Ni-Cd (Nickel Cadmium) batteries used in older slot cars? They’re kinda…yesterday’s news. They suffer from something called ‘memory effect’ – meaning they lose capacity over time if not fully discharged regularly. Plus, they're not exactly environmentally friendly. ALLON ELECTRIC's Solution: Power You Can Feel We at ALLON ELECTRIC have been working hard to develop batteries specifically for the demands of modern slot car racing. We focus on two main technologies: NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) and LiPo (Lithium Polymer). NiMH Batteries: Think of these as the “reliable workhorse.” NiMH batteries offer a great balance of performance, cost, and ease of use. They don’t suffer from the memory effect like Ni-Cd, and they’re a big step up in performance. We offer a range of NiMH batteries specifically tailored to different slot car classes. These are perfect for beginners and seasoned racers alike. They deliver consistent power throughout the race, meaning fewer slowdowns and more consistent lap times. We’ve been tweaking the chemistry and construction for slot cars, focusing on high discharge rates. LiPo Batteries: If you want serious performance, LiPo is the way to go. These batteries are lighter and deliver significantly more power than NiMH. This translates to faster acceleration, higher top speeds, and a competitive edge on the track. However, LiPo batteries require a bit more care and attention. They need to be charged with a LiPo-compatible charger and handled with care to ensure safety. We offer a range of LiPo batteries with different capacities and discharge rates, allowing you to fine-tune your car's performance. We strongly recommend using a LiPo balance charger and following all safety precautions. We also offer LiPo "safe" bags for charging and storage. What Makes ALLON ELECTRIC Batteries Different? It’s not just about what kind of battery, it’s about how it’s made. We don’t just re-brand existing batteries. Here's what sets ALLON ELECTRIC apart: Slot Car Focused Design: We’ve analyzed the power demands of slot cars – the bursts of acceleration, the sustained high speeds – and engineered our batteries to meet those demands. This means optimizing the internal resistance for maximum power delivery. High Discharge Rates: Slot cars need a battery that can deliver a lot of power quickly. Our batteries are designed with high discharge rates, ensuring your car gets the instant power it needs to accelerate out of corners and maintain speed. Quality Control: We rigorously test every battery to ensure it meets our high standards for performance, reliability, and safety. No shortcuts here! We check voltage, capacity, and internal resistance. Durability: Slot car racing can be tough on batteries. Our batteries are built to withstand the vibrations and stresses of racing, ensuring they’ll last race after race. We use robust construction techniques and high-quality materials. Custom Solutions: Need a specific voltage or capacity? We can work with you to develop a custom battery solution for your specific slot car application. Just give us a call!
