Hi all,

I just got a used Hobbico Avistar trainer plane and it came with some field equipment that I have never used before.

One of the pieces is the receiver battery for the plane.

It is a Futaba NR-4QB manufactured by Sanyo. Its a 4.8 volt 600mah Ni-cad battery.

I have a Bantam BC6 charger that I bought for my foamie planes that I am still learning how to operate.

Can someone please tell me how to discharge and charge this battery?

How far down do I discharge it?

The label on the battery says to charge at 60mA for 15 hours normal charge or 180mA for 5 hours quick charge. Do I follow these guidelines or can I charge it a little faster?

Also the Plane came with a 12 volt Lead acid battery and a battery for the starter.

Do I have to discharge these and then charge them or can I just charge them?

How do I discharge these and recharge them?

Remember I have a Bantam BC6 charger.

Please help because I am only used to charging nimhs on my Oynx 240 and lipos on the BC6.

Don't wanna blow myself or my house up!!!
