RE: Eneloop batteries for 12X
I use a thunderpower 610 set to .2a with 3mv/c. I have it set on auto voltage on nimh mode with the 610 but any good programmable charger will let you set 8cell nimh mode and adjust the peak mv. 200-300mah charge is max. If your pack false peaks, turn the mv up to 5 and try again. I have about 50-60 cycles on my pack and it still gets full capacity. Best upgrade I have ever done for that radio. The charger that came with the 12x cooked my stock battery from the beginning. It never recovered.

I charge mine at 500ma with a PowerLab 8 on NiMh setting, I think I read that you can charge them at up to 1C, which would be 2amps. I'm not sure if the JR battery board that connects to the pack can take that much though, you might end up frying the little diode on it.

Mike,
Go to www.electrodynam.com forinstructions on charging Eneloops. Andy also has some chargers that will do the trick. He providesinfo onthe delta-V numbers to detect the peakfor these cells. I've converted all my tranny batteries to Eneloops with success and also trying them for low drain airborne applications-not jets.

Send your old 12X battery to Chad at Sin City Jets. He will remove the old batteries and install the Eneloop batteries and send it back ready to go !!! $ 49.99.. Can't beat a deal and service like that.. It's the way to do it.

RE: Eneloop batteries for 12X
Ok.... The 12x was almost unusable with the stock nimh pack. I had to charge mine while I was out at the field to have a full day of flying. Also, eneloop packs are nimh not nicad. Same as stock. I would much rather have a radio that works without a warranty, even though i see no reason that replacing old batteries with newer technology of the same chemistry would void the warranty, than having a paperweight that I cannot use because of the 2 hour battery life.

RE: Eneloop batteries for 12X
Thanks everybody for the info.
Two things. Chad does not have the batteries. He is out of stock.
Like Cyphur says " If it voids the warranty it does.
The radio is unusable with the stock set up. Thanks, Mike
