Default RE: Your thoughts after reading JR 12X manual

I'm not having the greatest of luck with my 12X Tx battery either. What in the world is that black box with the green light all about? If I plug it in to charge I get the normal slow blinking green light. If I unplug it from the Tx, and then plug it back in, the black box goes to rapid flash and won't charge until I unplug the wall wart from the wall and start all over. Who thought this was a good idea?? Conversely, my 2.4 GhZ 9303 w/ the std. wall wart charger hums like a kitten. It pumps the Tx battery up to 11.2v and I can fly five plus 15 min. flights at 10.5 or greater volts showing. With a full charge (green light on steady) the 12X won't show 11 volts and rapidly depletes to the mid 10s. (I haven't used it enought to see how fast it actually depletes). Great radio, mediocre instruction books, battery sub par. BTW, everyone with a 12X know how to increase the throttle tension? I'm convinced the instruction book is wrong. Airwayman
