My Hobbico fast field charger is always in my car. I usually pop the hood and connect it to my battery before I connect my Astro-Flight charger and before I start unloading planes. Does about any transmitter and 4 cell reciever pack I have.

My quick field charger has saved the day for me many times. I use a Hobbico for reciever packs and a Triton for my electrics (Lipo batteries). Actually the Triton would charge every battery I have, but I already had the Hobbico so I still use it. If I had it to do over I would get a Triton to start with and use it to charge everything.

I have my Super Nova set up so I can plug it into the cigarrette lighter in my van. I can charge my flight packs, transmitter, NiCad glow ignitor, and my starter battery.

Could have recharge your planes receiver pack in to full in about 15 to 20 minutes. []
