At Vapextech we are going solar.  Our new big seller is our instant solar light batteries that work brilliantly with solar garden lights.  These batteries are ready charged and pop straight into your outdoor garden lights.  Charging happens during the day through your exisiting solar panel and your lights will pop on at dusk ready to light your alfresco dinning experience.

Top Tips For Your Solar Light Batteries:

During the day you can expect your garden lights not be illuminated whilst the solar light batteries charge.  If for any reason your lights are on during the day then it is likely that there is an issue with your solar panel as it isn't detecting the sunlight properly.

It’s thought that the earliest examples of RC planes are from the 19^th century, and flying them is now an extremely popular hobby worldwide. As the industry has developed there’s now a wide range of different aircraft available including jets, helicopters, toy class and flying bird models. Like any radio controlled model it’s important that both the transmitter and the aircraft must have full power, and in full working order for the aircraft to fly.

Why use our model batteries?

Here at Vapextech we have a wide range of model batteries specifically suited for RC aircraft use, and are now the first choice for many. For the aircraft to fly at its optimum performance it’s essential that the model batteries are lightweight and long lasting – and our batteries are designed to cope with these demands. We have a mixture of LiPo and LiFe model batteries which are well known for their lon

Vapextech are thrilled to be sponsoring Glyn Beal and Mark Christopher.  It seems to be a great season for our sponsored racers and we love sharing in their successes.

Glyn Beal took part in round 2 of the BRCA 1/10th IC 220 GT Championship at the Wombwell circuit in South Yorkshire. Drivers were out quickly on Saturday to learn what was for many a new circuit.  Glyn Beal showed the dominance of the Serpent 747 in the 220 GT class by setting a quick pace with relatively little set up changes.  The final result of a weekend of racing was that  Glyn Beal took home the win, a lap clear of Ryk Pryke who was followed home by Richard Boult in 3rd place.  Well done Glyn.

Mark Christopher and Lee Stokes (Team Dremel UK) recently competed in a big off road series alongside some of the UK's top drivers with Mark finishing 10th overall and Lee finishing 11th.  Their Vapextech

We have become one of the leading suppliers of model batteries in the UK and stock the widest variety available. Both types have their advantages but it generally depends on a number of factors such as the size and demands of your particular model.
