Hello Raydee,
Thanks for your interest in our batteries. There are two option that would work to replace your NiMH batteries that you are currently using.
Option 1) you can purchase two of our Hypersonic 2300 6.6V batteries.
This will give you runtime that is a little bit less (our 2300 batteries typically compare to a 3000 or 3300 NiMH) and comparable voltage (13.2 as opposed to 14.4). This setup would also weigh half of what your NiMHs currently weigh (battery setup weight = 310g). Because of the voltage difference the boat may run a little bit slower without some small changes, though sometimes the weight loss in batteries makes up for it. Because of the amperage capabilities that our batteries have you could simply change to a larger prop. this would allow you to run at the lower voltage, but draw more amps to keep the speeds you are used to seeing.
Option 2) You can purchase two of our Hypersonic 4600 6.6V batteries.
This will give you more run time, the same voltage as discussed above, and a little bit less weight (620g).
Both of these batteries are offered as a combo with our charger that will help save some money. The charger will charge the Hypersonic 2300 batteries in about 15 minutes each, and it will charge the Hypersonic 4600 batteries in about 30 minutes each.
Please let me know if you have any more questions,
Brian
