Status: offline 		Hi Guys.
I have had my Futaba 12 FGA 2.4Ghz for a few months now and have been flying it in all my jets without incident. I love this radio. Anyway I always charge it with my Triton using the charge jack in the rear of the transmitter. I charge it at a rate of 200 Mah as per the instructions. The instructions state that if using the charge jack in the rear of the transmitter you must limit the charge rate to 200 Mah max. If you want to charge it faster then you can disconnect the battery lead and charge it direct. I don't like to repeatedly plug and unplug things so I don't like that option. Any idea why Futaba has limited the charge rate through the transmitter? In the past I have charged my 9C at 400 Mah or more. Even being able to charge at 400 Mah through the back of the 12 FGA would be helpful. What are you guys doing?

Status: online 		I just read the charging instructions Maj. Woody. It says you can fast charge with the cr2000 charger by removing the battery pack and connecting directly to the battery connector.

The cr2000 is a Futaba charger which has standard Futaba J connectors on it's charge leads. That is why you would have to take the battery pack out to use this charger.

If you know of a page in the manual that specifically says not to charge through the rear jack at more than 200 mA please let me know. But, I think you may have been mislead in the way the manual is written.
