They work good for small eletrical devices.
They are used to run the radio battery chargers, glow ignitors, starter boxes and starter motors for R/C use. They are sometimes used to run slow scale motors in large R/C boats.
I would not recommend them for R/C car battery pack chargers as they do not hold a charge long.
They are miniature versions of regular car batteries with a much smaller capacity. Usually 7 amp hours or less, which will let you charge your R/C battery or MAYBE twice before itself needs to be recharged.
They are fragile if dropped or kicked around. They also cannot be fast charged.
Stick with the car battery (deep cycle boat batteries are much better and made to be discharged) or get a nice power supply.
