Product Description
If you've got a RadioShack ZipZaps Micro RC gathering dust because the original battery gave out, this is the replacement you've been searching for. The GP 7AAAHR2A has been out of production for years, making it one of the trickier batteries to track down — but we've got it in stock and ready to ship.
Built for the ZipZaps, spec for spec
This battery is cross-referenced directly against the original GP 7AAAHR2A and meets the same electrical specifications your ZipZaps was built around: 2.4 volts and 80mAh of capacity. It uses two 1/4AAA Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells wired together in a compact pack, so you get the correct voltage and a reliable charge cycle from the start. If your RC isn't running quite right on a no-name replacement, getting back to the right specs makes a real difference.
Simple installation, no tools needed
This battery uses a pressure-style termination, which means the contacts make a secure connection without any soldering or modification required. Just swap out the old pack and you're ready to charge and race. The compact dimensions — 0.9" long and 0.4" high — are sized to work in micro RC chassis, though some users with the ZipZaps SE have noted that a minor chassis adjustment may be needed for the best fit. A quick search online will turn up community guides that walk through the process in minutes.
NiMH means no memory, no hassle
Nickel Metal Hydride chemistry is a big step up from the older NiCd packs that powered many early RC toys. NiMH batteries don't suffer from memory effect, meaning you don't have to fully drain them before recharging. Just top them off when you need to, and they'll maintain their capacity over many charge cycles. It's one less thing to worry about when you just want to get back to racing.
A second life for a classic toy
The RadioShack ZipZaps line was a favorite in the early 2000s, and plenty of people still have these tiny cars — or are rediscovering them. Finding the right battery was once the biggest obstacle to getting one running again. This replacement puts that problem to rest, giving you a battery that matches the original in voltage, chemistry, and form factor. At just 0.5 oz, it won't add any noticeable weight to your micro racer either.
Compatible part numbers
This battery is compatible with the following part numbers and models: GP 7AAAHR2A, 7AAAHR2A, ZipZaps Micro RC, RadioShack ZipZaps SE, and 60-7055. If your original battery carries any of these numbers, this is the replacement you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
What RC cars is this battery compatible with?
This battery is a direct replacement for ZipZaps SE cars that use the GP 7AAAHR2A battery. It is also cross-referenced to battery number 7AAAHR2A and RadioShack model number 60-7055. If your original battery or car carries any of these numbers, this replacement is the correct fit.
Will this battery fit without any modifications?
For most ZipZaps models it is plug-and-play. Some users with the ZipZaps SE have found that a minor chassis adjustment helps achieve the best fit, as replacement packs can vary slightly in dimensions compared to the original. Online communities have straightforward guides for this quick modification if needed.
Is this battery rechargeable?
Yes. This is a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery. It charges the same way the original ZipZaps battery did — through the ZipZaps controller or a compatible charger. NiMH batteries can be recharged many times over and do not require full discharge before recharging.
What are the specs for this battery?
This battery delivers 2.4 volts with a capacity of 80mAh. It uses two 1/4AAA NiMH cells and measures 0.9 inches long and 0.4 inches high, weighing 0.5 oz. Termination is pressure-style, requiring no soldering for installation.
How long will the battery last on a charge?
Runtime varies depending on how the car is driven and how old the charging system is, but users typically report a few minutes of run time per charge — consistent with the original battery's performance. The 80mAh capacity matches the stock spec, so you should expect similar results to when the car was new.
Why is this battery so hard to find?
The ZipZaps line was discontinued by RadioShack, and the GP 7AAAHR2A battery was never widely distributed outside of that product line. As a result, most retail stores and even many battery specialty shops stopped carrying it years ago. We stock it specifically because it is one of those batteries people genuinely need but struggle to locate.

Customer Reviews
Great batteries, bought these for my ZipZap Rc cars. They work great and charge great. Thanks Battery Mart!
Very satisfied with this purchase could not find this battery anywhere they definitely have. What do you need and a very helpful with customer support
This battery is excellent. I used it to replace an old and dead Zipzap SE battery, which worked extremely well. For the most part, it was plug-and-play.
It is slightly bigger than the OEM battery in the old RC car. For best results, you have to modify the chassis. A search on YouTube and you can find the video on this.
I recommend this to anyone who wants to bring an old 20-year-old toy back to life.
I needed a battery that all evidence indicated had not been in production for years. I was so grateful to fine it here. It is the correct size, voltage, battery chemistry, and amperage. Of course I recommend this store and product.
Needed a specific battery to rejuvenate an old RC car. Battery might had the compatible that I needed. Website easy to navigate all the process a breeze quick delivery. Put me down as a very satisfied customer.
