Status: offline 		Can someone recomend a charger for the Tracker III NiCD battery? I bought mine used and it did not come with a charger. I have a HobbyZone supercub plane I am upgrading. I have a DC peak charger that came with the Cub that charges my NiMH battery. Its adjustable from .30A - 1.2A. Will this work for the TX battery? If not where can I find a replacement battery. There is nothing listed on their site for a spare charger for it...

Thanks in advance,

Jerry

(Looking forward to using this spiffy looking radio!)

Status: offline 		is your hobbico charger for NiMH batteries? Im not sure if I can charge NiCD batteries on mine or not. I guess the real question is can any NiMH charger charge NiCD?

Status: offline 		The Polk TX's charge port is wired the same way Futaba's are, but it appears that the connector is closer in size to a JR charge port.

You can probably charge the Nicad as if it were a Nimh, and I've done that with some other chargers I have, but I can't say for sure it will work. It's possible that the charger will cut out early and "false peak". Also, make sure the charger is ok to charge 8 cells.

Status: offline 		Yeah - its good to charge 8 cells. Well the wall charger is. Not the DC peack charger.

Thanks for the info... This is great news... Now I can spend that money on other electronics for the plane!

Status: offline 		bigdarylg - I have been looking at that charger and its pretty nice. I am trying to get away with using my stock NiMH batteries for the plane. Eventually I will go LiPo and thats when I will by a charger. I was hoping I didnt have to buy a new charger NOW before I upgraded to batteries. I would rather buy it when I change to Lipo's. Thats why I was hoping to use my existing NiMH chargers.

How do you like the MKII. I read a post where people are using AC-DC wall plugs and soldering on Cig Adaptor Female ends so they can use their peak chargers at the house... Specifically the MKII
