Thanks,

I think I'm gonna buy me 2600 nimh battery pack, and going to buy the JR's TX charger that would do it all. Thanks for the info.

This is the only JR charger that will charge that pack for you fully.

From depleted to full would take about 16 hours, but most of the time you most likely would not need to do this other than the fist time so over night will do....unless you left your TX on. This "wont do it all" as it only charges the TX. It is also dumb, as it can not tell you state of charge. It is inexpensive. Other JR combo RX/TX chargers don't have current needed to fully charge that large of mah battery nor are they for NiMH (not including the JR 12X only NiMH system).

With a good charge a 2600 NiMH TX pack will give you more flying time than most would care for before needing a charge. Just remember that NiMH self discharge quickly so a few days after a charge is too long, charge the night before and if you forgot, you'd wish you had a quick charger because now your out of time.
