#BEST AA BATTERIES FOR RC TRANSMITTER PLUS#

Modern chargers that You can charge various types of batteries with like LiPo, Li-ion, NiMh, NiCd, Pb has usually detection for fully charged (and then has option to be set to go over to trickle charge with low current if one want). So that is why one has a rule of thumb that at 1/10 amp charge current of capacity value it takes about 14 hours to get it fully chargeed (not 10 hours as one may think). On top of that You must add that NiMh charge efficency is about 65% so You add 35-40% more time, so rounded up to nearest hour it would be about 16-18 hours more in your case. With Your charger that charge with 50 mA (0.05 amp) it will in theory take about 2300/50 = 46 hours to fully charge an almost empty such NiMh battery. Lower then that works also but takes longer time. But charging with 1/10 amp of battery capacity in mAh is always safe. You can probably at least charge with 1/2 of rated capacity value as current so 2300/2 = 1150 mA will work fine also if you are in hurry (if You had such charger). But 1/10 of the rated capacity is a starting point so 230 mA (0.230 amp) is what one usually would use. The Duracell 2300 mAh NiMh pack You have can probably (check specification) be charged with 2.3 amp (2300 mA) for slihtly over 1 hour without harm to the battery. If the charger came with the Skysport Futaba radio it should be for a 4 cell transmitter battery pack.

Just so You have correct voltage for the pack Yo want to charge.

The round conector can be for 8 cell NiCd/NiMh battery pack and the flat for 4 or 5 cell. Some Futaba wall chargers has output for charging both transmitter (round type of connector) and receiver (flat type of connector). Make sure You use the connector for 4 cell. You must in other words check that the charger cable and connector You use has this polarity you said here is interesting so if I were to use the Duracell's that I have My futaba wall charger for the radio has an output of of only 50 Miiliamps so at that low charge rate for say 15 hours it will make these Duracell's be OK to use as a transmitter battery or am I reading it wrong ? thank you

Remember if you charge your Futaba Skysport with the charging jack on the side of the transmitter Futaba has the polarity so that the center pin is plus (+) and the outer part in minus (-). Assuming You use a good charger that cuts the charging when the battery is fully charged. Probably up to 2 amp will be OK in 1 hour if You are in a hurry. You can always charge NiMh with 1/10 amp of the capacity value for about 14 hours so in this case about 0.190 amp (190 mA).īut they can be charged with up to 1 amp if You want (takes about 2 hours to charge an almost empty battery). I agree, for transmitter Sanyo Eneloope white 1900 mAh NiMh is good (green/blue package = 1500 charge cycles)
