I do not understand your questions. The 850 normally comes with a 4 cell battery installed along with a charger for it. If you are talking about the plugs on the receiver, they are the standard layout with the added feature that they will accept Futaba connectors without having to shave off the key as well as accepting all standard servo connectors.. The instruction manual does a pretty good job of describing connectors and battery requirements. You did get the manual did you not? If not you can download one for free. If asking about power for the receiver, any 4 or 5 cell NiMh, NiCad or 2 cell Life will work, The center pin will be the positive connection; if you get the ground on the wrong pin, it just won't work but will do no damage. If you are using an ESC (electronic speed control) most will have a built in BEC (battery eliminator circuit) which will provide about 5 volts to the receiver through the throttle servo connection to the BEC. If you are still confused, try to visit the local hobby shop or visit a nearby club for more information as it seem you are a complete novice. Not a put down, we all have to start somewhere and you will find most clubs will be glad to help you.
